A significant Bitcoin trader known as a ‘Trump Insider Whale’ has taken a substantial short position, potentially betting against the cryptocurrency amid a surge in market volatility. This move followed recent U.S. tariff announcements and has triggered a staggering $19 billion in liquidations across various crypto markets. 340 million dollars were wagered on a bearish outlook for Bitcoin. The trader maintains that their decisions are based on macro analysis and public information, denying any involvement with insider trading. Speculation continues to swirl around this trade amidst concerns about market fairness and the potential need for stricter regulatory scrutiny on informed trades. While there haven’t been any formal probes yet, industry experts have begun to voice opinions regarding transparency in crypto trading practices.
