important notes
Hyperunit entities previously profited by shorting Bitcoin during President Trump’s tariff announcements, which caused $19 billion in liquidations. Bitcoin futures trading volume plunged 32.77% to $96.56 billion, with open interest dropping to $72.62 billion as traders reduced leverage exposure. The long-short ratio weakened to 0.99, suggesting deleveraging as the market braces for the impact of the Fed’s decision and the government shutdown.
On October 15th, blockchain trackers detected a $129 million transfer to Binance from a cluster of wallets associated with the “Hyperunit” trading entity.
The company, which manages over $10 billion in crypto assets, gained attention for its successful short selling of Bitcoin.

News aggregator BTC_Archive, citing data from Arkham Intelligence, speculated that the whale’s latest move could be related to a major upcoming trade and could be related to important upcoming macro events, such as the next US Federal Reserve rate cut decision scheduled for October 29th or the ongoing US government shutdown.
Bitcoin price was hovering around $111,400 at the time of writing, and was trading within a narrow 2% range from $110,235 to $113,622.38 during the day.
Bitcoin open interest drops to $72 billion as traders brace for macro volatility
Bitcoin is currently trading at $111,169, down 1.62% on the day. Bitcoin has underperformed the S&P 500 for three consecutive sessions as global markets factor in the postponement of additional US tariffs and risk sentiment improves.
The predictive accuracy of Hyperunit Wallet’s recent bets on President Trump’s tariff announcements may prompt BTC speculative market participants to reduce their leverage exposure and cautious sentiment to be expected heading into the upcoming trading session.
X user StockStormX pointed out that the hyper unit whale may be preparing a macro-related move to take advantage of Bitcoin’s recent divergence from the US stock market.
Smart money moving to exchanges usually means immediate action. If they nail the tariffs to the bare minimum, they’ll likely mount a new macro play. The correlation between $BTC and stocks has been collapsing recently, so we may see some divergence.

Supporting this stance, Coinglass derivatives data shows that Bitcoin futures trading volume decreased by 32.77% to $96.56 billion over the past 24 hours, while BTC open interest decreased by 2.32% to $72.62 billion. The long-to-short ratio also turned bearish to 0.99, confirming rapid deleveraging due to the latest hyperunit whale trade on October 15th.
