Analysis: Garrett Bullish, formerly of BitForex, still holds 46,295 BTC

 according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, the identities of the "high-profile $ETH switcher and ancient whale of $BTC" and the "1011 flash crash short seller with profits exceeding 80 million whales" are suspected to be Garrett Bullish. Since August, he has switched over 35,000 BTC to ETH in a high-profile manner; before the 1011 flash crash, he opened short positions exceeding 1.1 billion US dollars in BTC and ETH, making profits exceeding 80 million US dollars in 24 hours.

The 570,000 ETH obtained from the switch were all deposited into the Ethereum beacon chain deposit contract, with the source of funds and the first interactant of the deposit contract deployment address being ereignis.eth; and the address that opened the short position before the flash crash had interacted with the ENS domain name two weeks ago; the owner of ereignis.eth has another domain name garrettjin.eth, which directly points to Garrett Bullish. In addition, his X account is followed by the founder of Hyperunit.

Information shows that Garrett Bullish graduated from Boston University with a major in economics, and his work experience includes China Construction Bank (intern) / HTX (COO) / medical platform FuLang Medical Germany GmbH (co-founder). He is also a serial entrepreneur, with interests in areas such as wallets / DEX / social networks.

The exchange BitForex, where he once worked, suffered a loss of approximately 57 million US dollars due to a hot wallet private key leak in 2024, and subsequently ceased operations. If speculation is true, he currently still holds 46,295 BTC, worth over 5.19 billion US dollars.

  • Fed Official Paulson Advocates Gradual Policy Tightening

    On November 11, Anna Paulson, President of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank, expressed her support for a gradual increase in interest rates, adding that wage pressures are limited and inflation expectations remain aligned with the central bank's 2% target. During an event organized by the Philadelphia Fed on Tuesday, Paulson stated, "At this point, further gradual tightening of policy seems appropriate." She further noted, "If inflation expectations rise, wage pressures increase, or underlying inflation trends higher, I would want to act more quickly. But for now, I have not seen that situation." Last month, Fed officials kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged in the range of 3.75% to 4%, following a 0.25 percentage point increase in September. Since the October meeting, several policymakers have indicated that further tightening is necessary to control inflation within the 2% target range. Paulson remarked, "Not acting at one meeting is a matter of pace, not direction. There may still be more work to do. But I tend to favor gradual tightening when conditions allow." She added that slowing the pace allows households, businesses, and the financial sector time to adjust, while also giving policymakers time to assess data. She stated, "When the policy direction is clear, a gradual approach works best. If the market expects further tightening, then a gradual approach will not leave us behind our intended targets."
