Trump Insider Whale” Bets $430 Million on Bitcoin and Ethereum Ahead of Fed’s Key Rate Decision

Crypto markets are stirring again as a well-known whale dubbed “Trump Insider” reportedly opened a massive $430 million long position in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) — just one day before the Federal Reserve’s highly anticipated rate-cut decision.

The Whale With a Perfect Track Record Is Back On-chain data reveals that the “Trump Insider” whale has returned to the market with a major leveraged position, signaling a strong bullish conviction.

The trader, who has previously won 12 out of 12 major trades, has built a reputation as a strategic mastermind among crypto investors. This latest move follows his decision to close short positions worth $86.6 million earlier this month, netting $2.38 million in profit. He first gained fame after successfully shorting the market ahead of the so-called “Trump Tariff Crash.”

Possibly the Same Investor Behind Earlier $255M Bet Analysts suspect this could be the same investor who earlier this month went long on BTC and ETH for $255 million, shortly after Donald Trump confirmed his meeting with Chinese President Xi during the APEC summit. If that’s true, it would suggest the whale is strategically tracking Trump’s geopolitical signals to position himself ahead of major macroeconomic shifts.

Fed in Focus: Markets Expect a 25-Basis-Point Cut All eyes are now on the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, which began today (October 28) and concludes tomorrow. Markets overwhelmingly expect the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark range to 4.00%–4.25%. According to Polymarket, 98% of traders are betting on such an outcome. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is set to speak at 2:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, outlining the central bank’s stance on inflation, employment, and the 2026 economic outlook. This decision is critical not only for traditional markets but also for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other risk assets, which tend to react strongly to changes in interest rates.

Lower Rates Could Fuel a New Crypto Rally Experts believe this “Trump Insider” bet reflects confidence that rate cuts will weaken the U.S. dollar and push capital back into riskier assets like crypto. “If the Fed signals a sustained easing cycle, Bitcoin could see a wave of institutional inflows,” said an analyst from QCP Capital. Lower rates usually mean cheaper borrowing, greater liquidity, and renewed appetite for speculative investments — the perfect environment for Bitcoin and Ethereum to thrive.

Markets Await Wednesday’s Verdict Tomorrow’s Fed announcement could be a turning point: either confirming market optimism with another rate cut or shocking traders with a more hawkish tone. One thing is certain — the “Trump Insider Whale” has gone all in again, and his $430 million bet makes him the most closely watched investor of the week.
