Jin has gained widespread attention for his on-chain moves during periods of extreme volatility. He is best known for a $735 million Bitcoin short on Hyperliquid that netted an estimated $160 million in profit just minutes before a massive market crash triggered by President Trump’s October 2025 tariff announcement.
The trader’s wallet shows that he still holds over 30,600 BTC worth over $2 billion.
