Cross-market whale rjgrant.eth, also identified as Geminae.Columbae, is holding about $38.1251 million in crypto long positions and remains up roughly $2.4902 million overall, according to TradingBeats. The account’s Hyperliquid book has seen profits narrow recently, with its largest position in BTC at about $27.3165 million, currently showing a floating loss of $626,800. LINK and ZEC positions remain in profit, while smaller HYPE and NIL holdings are slightly underwater. The same account is also active on Polymarket, where it holds 1,600 "October Fed unchanged" Yes shares. Its average entry implied a 54% probability, compared with a current 83.5%. The position is now valued at $1,336, for an unrealized gain of $472. TradingBeats said the prediction-market trade has turned profitable as the odds of the Federal Reserve holding rates steady in October moved higher. The report also pointed to recent U.S. labor data as macro context. On Oct. 2, the U.S. reported just 29,000 nonfarm payroll additions for September, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.2%. Payroll gains for July and August were revised down by a combined 60,000, a backdrop that has supported expectations for a pause in further rate hikes.
