According to BlockBeats, on August 14th, tradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight) reported that despite the escalating conflict today, trader "Valen9" maintained a nearly one million dollar short position in WTI on Hyperliquid. His cross-platform trading strategy continues to focus on easing geopolitical risks and a decline in crude oil risk premiums.
Currently, it has a 14x leveraged short position of approximately 12,100 WTI crude oil contracts, with a position value of approximately $975,800. The average price is $81.10, and the unrealized profit is approximately $6,376 (+9.1%). A partial take-profit order has been placed at $73.10. Its history includes 8 rounds of WTI crude oil contract trading and 1 S&P 500 trade, with a total contract return of 72%.
In addition, Valen9 continued to adjust its Iran-related bets on Polymarket today, further narrowing its previously broad geopolitical exposure to three very specific de-escalation paths: airspace, ceasefire, and blockade.
Specifically, $2,070, $972, and $337.8 were invested in trading on the following market trends: "Iran will not completely close its airspace before the end of the year," "The ceasefire between Israel and Iran will continue until the end of the year," and "The United States will end its blockade against Iran before August 22," generating a total of approximately $3,380 in new investments. At the same time, 2,591.1 shares of "The United States will invade Iran before 2027" were sold, partially realizing profits.
Valen9 currently holds 70 active positions on Polymarket, valued at $637,000, of which 46 are concentrated in geopolitics, totaling approximately $365,200. The largest single geopolitical position remains the "US will invade Iran before 2027" No. 1 share, valued at approximately $68,000.
The underlying assets differ at both ends of the trading, but the underlying logic is largely the same. Historically, Valen9 has closed 469 geopolitical prediction positions, with a record of 281 wins and 188 losses, a win rate of approximately 59.9%, and a cumulative profit of approximately $134,100. Currently, its primary market exposure remains concentrated in this sector.
