Whale2026-08-25 11:31:24Whale Trader Builds Nasdaq Short After Betting on No September Fed HikeTradingBeats, formerly Hyperinsight, tracked a Polymarket trader known as 「TwoEyes」 who spent four straight days betting that the Federal Reserve will not raise rates in September, then turned around and opened a leveraged short on the Nasdaq. Between the morning of Aug. 22 and early Aug. 23, the trader used 149 buys to put about $113,700 into a no-change September rate outcome at a weighted probability of roughly 68.42%. Early on Aug. 25, the same trader added about $10,050 at an average 67% probability on a separate contract that the Fed will not hike by 25 basis points in September. The two new allocations totaled about $123,700. As of publication, those two markets were pricing the outcomes at 66.5% and 67.5%, while the trader’s two core positions had a combined cost of about $151,200 and an unrealized loss of roughly $4,168. Around six hours after the latest prediction-market add, an associated address began building a Nasdaq short on Hyperliquid: 51.6369 XYZ100 contracts at 30x isolated? No, the source says full-position leverage, worth about $1.51 million.
