Whale
A trader whose positions are large enough to move a market or to be worth tracking for what they reveal.
On Hyperliquid, where every position is on-chain, whales are identifiable wallets with seven- and eight-figure books. BetG8 tracks a set chosen for size and consistent profitability and publishes their positions, entries, liquidation prices and fills.
Watching whales shows where large, informed money leans, but a visible position can be a hedge against something invisible, or a market maker's inventory. Aggregates across many wallets are more informative than any single one.
In prediction markets, "whale" usually refers to a single account taking an outsized position in one election or sports market, which can distort the price in a thin book.
