UPDATE from an insider

China has no quant firms because all the quant talent is working undercover at Binance et al doing b-book internal MM.

For those who don't know, b-book means the internal MM gets the first look at any incoming order. They can fill it (sometimes covering straight away elsewhere) or leave it for the others. If they do the former, nobody has to know - it doesn't even make it to market data.

Checks out.

$700K profit. No gambling. This bot is eating btc micro-windows for breakfast.

Found the wallet kingofcoinflips. At first I thought there were some crazy neural networks and complex hedges there. But in reality it's way simpler.

According to his profile: https://t.co/TudzcMUxcs

The bot just takes money from 15-minute Bitcoin charts. Since August it has made 2144 trades. This bot grew from zero to $700k in 4 months. The profit chart is just a line to the sky with no drawdowns or red zones.

Here's how it makes them.

This isn't reading tea leaves. This is time arbitrage. When Bitcoin on Binance sharply flies in any direction, Polymarket quotes lag by 30-90 seconds.

The bot sees the impulse in reality and places a bet on the "future" that hasn't arrived yet on Polymarket. This is pure speed. Got in at 39 cents, got out at 75, repeated.

A few details for understanding:
The biggest profit from one trade is $69K. In just 15 minutes.
Iron discipline. The bot enters with a fixed amount of $9k. It doesn't care if it lost or won. The next trade will be exactly the same.

His portfolio isn't just Bitcoin. 35% goes to Ethereum, another 15% to Solana. The bot holds up to 9 positions simultaneously, draining liquidity from every crack.

The funniest thing is in his name: coinflips.

Although with 90% accuracy and complete absence of emotions, this doesn't look like a game at all. While everyone argues about rates, the software methodically robs those who didn't update the price in time.

Better not miss this one.

Younger brother came into town for the holidays, we were talking about crypto yesterday.

Trying to figure out why it's been so weak, even with strong equity markets. He threw me a curveball.

"Crypto isn't that cool anymore."

Blew my mind. The kid is 22.

"Prediction markets are better, and stocks too because they don't get rugged 24/7".

I looked much deeper last night...and what I'm observing under the surface is not technical or fundamental.

It's cultural. A social shift. Attention has relocated.

Starts on youtube. Views are down across anything related to crypto.

A crypto youtuber with 139K subscribers said that his viewership had dropped more in the last 2 weeks than anything he's seen in 5 years.

Second point. Attention is shifting from the top. The biggest crypto influencers are publicly "losing interest" in crypto, and switching to stocks (sources attached).

Third point. Crypto has long been a free-spirited, lawless, young man's game.

But with legacy brokerages like Schwab/JPMorgan getting involved + gov't interest, is crypto losing the demographic that made it popular in the first place?

Potentially...as the perception's changed.

Fourth point. Optionality. Every vehicle is becoming more accessible. From $COIN adding stock trading, to $HOOD adding 0DTE options, to prediction markets as a whole...

Everything's right there...without the perceived risk of a rug-pull via the “lawless” crypto landscape that defined crypto’s appeal in the first place.

Question is...does real-world crypto utility generate enough demand to offset a sustained decline in retail participation?

All I'm saying is the divergence of the once highly correlated $BTC - $QQQ pair is highly suspect. And it's only getting wider.

Yes, you can argue some of these things happen in every crypto bear market, but there's new variables & moving parts now (optionality + legacy brokerages participation + gov't interest) that change the game.

Crypto seems to be in a transition phase...from a momentum asset to an infrastructure asset.

Fundamental transitions like this are usually not kind to price in the medium term.

Long term, I'm bullish on the crypto's utility and think it will be everywhere, but the real world utility/adoption (and subsequent growing pains...) is something I'm watching in 2026.
