Here is How a Trader Profited $1 Million After the Crypto Crash

As revealed by Lookonchain, a mysterious user of the decentralized perpetual exchange GMX raked in approximately $1,000,000 after the crypto market crashed in mid-August since they shorted Ethereum at a high price a month ago.

  • The trader opened the short position on July 14, when ETH was worth around $2,000 (per CoinGecko’s data), and closed it on August 17, when the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization dipped to almost $1,700. The generated profit equaled nearly $1 million.
  • The GMX trader waited a bit and opened another position, but this time betting that Ethereum’s valuation will head north. The entry price was $1,624, whereas ETH currently trades at over $1,660.
  • Lookonchain disclosed that the trader in question has been highly successful, seeing eight out of their ten trades profitable.
  • It is worth mentioning that other crypto participants did not have the same success and registered significant losses due to the recent correction of the market.
  • As CryptoPotato reported earlier this week,  Andrew Kang (Co-Founder of the crypto-focused venture capital firm Mechanism Capital) parted with more than $430,000 on August 18 as he opened long positions on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Arbitrum (ARB), using up to 100x leverage.
