This <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/trading\/prop-firm\/fundedtrader\/\">trader<\/a> <strong>opened a massive short position<\/strong> on an account created that very day, just minutes before the information became public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SOMEONE JUST OPENED A <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BITCOIN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BITCOIN<\/a> SHORT 30 MINS BEFORE TRUMP&#39;S TARIFF ANNOUNCEMENT AND JUST CLOSED WITH $88,000,000 PROFIT <br><br>HE OPENED THIS ACCOUNT TODAY \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GZuzLba1Op\">pic.twitter.com\/GZuzLba1Op<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Vivek Sen (@Vivek4real_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Vivek4real_\/status\/1976787212491801051?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Trump announced the tariffs, the market plunged into a liquidation spiral. As analyst @MacroCRG points out, &#8220;I still can&#8217;t believe what just happened. <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/altcoins\/\">Altcoins<\/a> as a whole <strong>were obliterated by -60% in just 10 minutes.<\/strong>&#8221; This unprecedented volatility allowed the mysterious trader to close their position with colossal profits before vanishing as quickly as they appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For retail investors, the shock is twofold: not only have they suffered devastating losses, but they now realize that <strong>certain actors clearly had privileged information<\/strong> allowing them to position themselves in advance. The opening of a <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> short from a same-day account and the timing of <strong>30 minutes before the announcement<\/strong> leaves little room for doubt: This is a flagrant case of trading on non-public information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manipulation-at-the-heart-of-an-unregulated-market\">Manipulation at the Heart of an Unregulated Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This event highlights the <strong>structural vulnerability of the crypto <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/trading\/market-maker\/\">market<\/a><\/strong> to insider trading. Unlike traditional markets where such operations trigger investigations and severe sanctions, the decentralized and international nature of crypto makes prosecution extremely complex. The relative anonymity offered by offshore platforms and sophisticated obfuscation techniques virtually guarantee impunity for malicious actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crypto is a rigged casino, and today\u2019s events prove it beyond doubt.<br><br>A single colossal BTC whale shorted at the peak, then, just minutes before the market-shattering crash, piled on millions more in shorts. <br><br>At the very bottom of the drop, he closed 90% of his Bitcoin short and\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UTLM1LBhSw\">pic.twitter.com\/UTLM1LBhSw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Jacob King (@JacobKinge) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JacobKinge\/status\/1976785691838165435?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While thousands of investors mourn their losses, this trader pockets <strong>190 million dollars without fearing consequences<\/strong>. This stark contrast reminds us that the playing field is not level and that the absence of strict regulation allows a minority to exploit privileged information at the expense of the majority.
