The cryptocurrency market has been rocked by an unprecedented $19 billion liquidation following a sudden flash crash, yet one trader managed to secure an astonishing $88 million profit by shorting Bitcoin just 30 minutes before the U.S. tariff announcement.
According to crypto analyst Vivek Sen, the account responsible for this trade was opened on the same day, raising widespread suspicion within the community.

The flash crash marks one of the most severe liquidation events in crypto history. The market correction was triggered by the U.S. government’s decision to impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods and introduce new export controls on software.
The announcement sent shockwaves through global financial markets, with cryptocurrencies bearing the brunt of the sell-off.
Bitcoin, which had recently reached an all-time high above $125,000, plummeted more than 12%, falling below the $113,000 level.
