Trader Secures Massive $192 Million Profit From Bitcoin Shorting Before Trump’s Tariff Announcement

A trader executed a highly strategic short bet on Bitcoin just minutes before US President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. This move, triggered an immediate market crash and impacted the entire cryptocurrency sector. The trader, who only created their account hours prior to placing the trade, capitalized on the crash, seeing a dramatic jump in profit from $40 million to over $104 million within just a short period. The rapid gains turned into a realized gain of nearly $88.5 million in 24 hours, as Bitcoin briefly dipped below $110,000 before recovering.
