A trader on Polymarket has captured widespread attention after generating millions in profits within just one month. According to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain, three linked wallets — likely controlled by the same individual — began trading on February 1.

In that short span, they earned $2.35 million betting on Bitcoin’s price, occasionally trading Ethereum and Solana as well. The wallets’ consistent winning record has sparked interest across crypto trading circles.

The data reveals that the wallet, created in January 2026, has engaged in highly active market participation. Over 134,000 views and 24,668 predictions highlight the trader’s frequent involvement. Current open positions hold roughly $70,500 in value, while the single largest gain reached $33,900.

Besides raw numbers, the profit chart shows a steady upward trajectory rather than sudden spikes, reflecting disciplined trading strategies. The trades are primarily short-term “Bitcoin Up or Down” positions, sometimes lasting only 15 minutes, with returns often exceeding 100% and occasionally surpassing 400%.

High-Impact Short-Term Bets Drive Gains

In another trade, the trader made $33,800 in one outcome. In other trades, the trader made between $24,000 and $31,000.

These individual positions also show the trader’s confidence in trading by committing large sums such as between $15,000 and $30,000.

Furthermore, the second trader’s profile on Polymarket shows the same trend with incremental gains but no significant losses. The trader has made an all-time profit of $810,522 from 23,138 predictions and has positions worth $206,200.
