On February 1, 2026, Arkham Intelligence said the trader known as the Hyperunit whale emptied its ETH treasury into Hyperliquid, with estimated losses near $250 million. The account had earlier made roughly $200 million by shorting Bitcoin and Ether ahead of Donald Trump’s 100% tariff announcement in October. CoinMarketCap showed ETH at $2,418.31, down 10.31% over 24 hours.
