According to Lookonchain, a whale who spent 3M USDC across two wallets to buy 750M PUMP in a public sale six months ago deposited the entire 750M PUMP to Hyperliquid about an hour before Lookonchain’s post on Jan 1, 2026 (source: Lookonchain on X). According to Lookonchain, the 750M PUMP deposit is valued at approximately $1.47M and selling the whole position would result in a $1.53M loss, or -51% versus cost (source: Lookonchain on X). According to Arkham Intel’s explorer, the wallets cited by Lookonchain can be traced, corroborating the addresses and token flow for the two funding wallets and the receiving account referenced (source: Arkham Intel explorer). Based on Lookonchain’s figures, the buyer’s approximate cost basis is $0.004 per PUMP (3,000,000 USDC divided by 750,000,000 PUMP), and the implied current valuation is about $0.00196 per PUMP from the $1.47M deposit value (source: Lookonchain on X).

According to @lookonchain, on Jan 1, 2026, a newly created wallet deposited 8M USDC to Hyperliquid and went all-in on long positions. According to @lookonchain, positions opened were: 12.18M XPL ($2M), 1.18M IP ($2M), 82.61M MON ($1.9M), 32.41M STBL ($1.8M), 779.56M PUMP ($1.5M), 52.45M GRIFFAIN ($970K), 509K VVV ($847K), 22.86M AIXBT ($806K), 41.52M HEMI ($691K), 11.24M MAVIA ($648K), and 42.95M STABLE ($604K). According to @lookonchain, the total notional across these longs is approximately $13.77M, compared with the reported $8M USDC deposit.

According to @lookonchain, a hacker gained control of a market maker's Binance accounts and attempted to move stolen funds by buying $BROCCOLI (714) spot, going long perps on other accounts, and coordinating self-trades to pump price and transfer size, source: @lookonchain. The attacker selected $BROCCOLI (714) because of its low liquidity and shallow order book depth, which made the asset easier to manipulate, source: @lookonchain. Trader Vida had proactive alerts for a +30 percent move within 1,800 seconds and spot–perp price divergence, which immediately flagged abnormal activity, source: @lookonchain. Vida entered long positions early to ride the pump driven by the hacker’s aggressive spot buying and large visible bids, source: @lookonchain. Monitoring the spot order book, Vida closed longs and flipped short as soon as those large bids disappeared, which @lookonchain indicated Vida interpreted as potential Binance risk controls restricting the attacker, source: @lookonchain. The sequence produced approximately 1,000,000 dollars profit for Vida on January 1, 2026, illustrating disciplined execution using alerts and order-book signals, source: @lookonchain. Trading takeaway: low-liquidity tokens can be targeted for manipulation, and a combination of sudden spot–perp divergence with large bid withdrawal can signal reversal risk for perps traders on Binance, source: @lookonchain.

According to @lookonchain, the entity labeled BitcoinOG 1011short sent 112,894 ETH valued at about $332M to Binance, following an earlier 100,000 ETH deposit worth about $292M the same day, totaling 212,894 ETH or roughly $624M moved to the exchange in two tranches (source: Lookonchain on X, citing Arkham Intelligence). @lookonchain also reports the wallet maintains approximately $749M in long positions across BTC, ETH, and SOL, with the on-chain labeling attributed to Arkham Intelligence entity tracking and address analytics (source: Lookonchain on X; Arkham Intelligence explorer and entity labeling). Large-scale ETH inflows to exchanges have historically correlated with increased short-term sell-side liquidity and elevated intraday volatility in spot and perp markets (source: CryptoQuant research on exchange netflows and exchange reserves). If the deposited ETH is used as collateral, Binance Futures Multi-Assets Mode permits ETH as margin to support positions in other instruments, potentially impacting BTC and SOL perp market liquidity and leverage conditions (source: Binance Futures Multi-Assets Mode documentation). Traders can monitor Binance ETH netflows, funding rates, and open interest to gauge immediate market impact and positioning shifts (source: CryptoQuant exchange flow metrics; Binance derivatives metrics).
