This morning's Federal Reserve interest rate decision was still a good opportunity for short-term traders to open positions. The recently popular "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" also participated, making frenzied moves during this period, turning 690,000 USDC into 1.826 million USDC in just 3 hours through long and short BTC trading, achieving a profit of 164%.
Odaily Planet Daily will first take you through the high-energy operations of the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" early this morning.
"Whale Brother" achieved "four victories in four battles" during the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, with a win rate of 100%
Before the Federal Reserve interest rate decision: Shorting BTC, profit of $215,000
Just after midnight, the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" closed his previous MELANIA long position, earning $87,000, and then opened a BTC short position, using 690,000 USDC as margin to short 326 BTC (worth about $27.62 million), with an opening price of $84,566 and a liquidation price of $85,545. Then, just before the interest rate decision was announced (around 1:48 AM), he closed the short at a price of $83,927, making a profit of $215,000.

At the time of the Federal Reserve interest rate decision: Shorting BTC again, profit of $250,000
When the interest rate was announced at 2 AM (the federal funds rate target range remained unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50%), the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" immediately opened a short position for 256 BTC at a price of $84,404 (worth about $21.6 million) at 2:01 AM. Then, just 6 minutes later, he quickly closed the position at a price of $83,906, making a profit of $250,000.

Going long on BTC, profit of $620,000: After closing the BTC short position, the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" immediately opened a long position for 518 BTC at a price of $84,500 (worth about $43.8 million) at 2:10 AM, and then closed it at a price of $85,700 at 2:59 AM;
Shorting BTC again, profit of $106,000: After closing the BTC long position, the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" immediately opened a short position for 384 BTC at a price of $85,666 (worth about $32.9 million) at 3 AM, and closed it just 2 minutes later at a price of $85,146.
Withdrawing 1.666 million USDC, then opening a mini long position in JELLY
At 3 AM, after closing the short position, the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage trading whale" withdrew 1.666 million USDC from the Hyperliquid platform and bought 815 ETH, transferring it to his current main fund storage address (0x51d…921). He then used 46,000 USDC from the remaining 160,000 USDC in Hyperliquid to open a JELLY 3x long ant position.

This morning, "Whale Brother's" precise operations around the Federal Reserve interest rate announcement can be considered a textbook-level demonstration, not only maneuvering skillfully between long and short positions but even earning applause from the "market makers." Following the last time "Whale Brother" opened a long position of about $300 million in ETH with 50x leverage, achieving a peak floating profit of over $8 million, he subsequently chose to withdraw the principal and most of the profits, actively raising the liquidation price, which ultimately led to a total loss of $3.45 million for HLP (for detailed content, see: Why did the Hyperliquid whale self-destructively close positions? Who bears the millions of dollars in losses?). During this period, apart from a dual long position in LINK that lost $1.27 million, the positions in BTC and ETH continued to "print money." From the current market perspective, short-term trading in BTC and ETH, if one can refer to "Whale Brother's" strategy, has a considerable probability of profit.
It is precisely for this reason that this mysterious "Whale Brother" has almost become the focus of the recent market. His seemingly "prescient" judgments have led to an astonishing win rate, as if he possesses some insider information. So, who exactly is "Whale Brother"?
"Whale Brother" links personal X account on DeBank platform, true identity revealed
"Whale Brother" links personal X account
Just yesterday afternoon, "Whale Brother" surfaced, changing his account name on the DeBank platform to MELANIA (later renamed to falling), with a personal avatar of Trump's wife (suspected to be a signal), and also verified and linked his X account (@qwatio). As of now, his personal X account has reached 11,000 followers.

Whale hunting team fails to target "Whale Brother"
Before "Whale Brother" revealed his "true identity," due to the extraordinarily high win rate of BTC and ETH trades, many "whales" became jealous, and some even posted on the X platform soliciting a "whale hunting team," stating: If you are willing to team up with this guy for a big fight, DM me, we are forming a team, and it has already gained a decent scale.
Post soliciting "whale hunting team"
At midnight, the sudden surge in BTC seemed to be the work of this "whale hunting team," causing "Whale Brother's" short position of 6 million to be instantly wiped out, even resulting in a loss of 2 million, forcing him to increase the margin by 5 million USDC. However, this hunt still ended in victory for the big player, as "Whale Brother" ultimately made a profit of $5.101 million after holding for 4 days. The leading KOL CBB (bera era) also posted, stating that although they lost the battle, they hadn't had this much fun in a long time.
However, shortly after, ZachXBT commented, "In fact, this is just a cybercriminal gambling with stolen funds." and stated that more information would be released later, ruling out the possibility of the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group.
In response to this statement, "Whale Brother" expressed on the X platform that ZachXBT's accusation (that the Hyperliquid 50x leverage whale is actually a cybercriminal) was disappointing and unexpected, calling it "baseless speculation." He hoped ZachXBT could at least clarify the so-called "stolen funds" and mentioned that their wallet received a large number of transactions from scammers. However, he later deleted all tweets certifying his DeBank account and confronting on-chain detective ZachXBT, and changed his account name from "MELANIA" to "falllling."
ZachXBT: Complete evidence to be released tonight at 9 PM
Shortly after "Whale Brother" linked his X account, on-chain detective ZachXBT posted on the X platform stating that the X account of the "Hyperliquid 50x leverage whale" was obtained from purchasing from others and received $5,000 from a phishing client in January 2025. He also obtained funds from irregular service providers like eXch but insisted that his money was "clean." In response to "Whale Brother's" tweet, he stated that complete evidence would be released tonight at 9 PM and emphasized that he does not spread false information.

Whether "Whale Brother" is wronged or if there is indeed something to it, we await ZachXBT's complete evidence, and Odaily Planet Daily will continue to report.
