Ready for some secret reveals? We've got you covered. We're dishing out the scoop on what's been working for these successful investors and where they're putting their money next. Plus, we're highlighting the key assets they're into.

Here's the real kicker - we're not just going to show you what they're doing, but also why. We'll explain the assets they're bullish on, and even get into the nitty-gritty of their strategy.

And because we want you to stay ahead of the game, we'll show you how to follow these wallets in real-time and get instant notifications on their moves.

We've got the keys to the kingdom, and we're about to hand them over. Intrigued? Well, keep reading because we're just getting started.

TLDR 📃

  • Smart money is leaning slightly bearish. They have rotated their volatile profits into long-term bets and stablecoins.
  • To add a bit of fun, we've named each wallet holder:
    • Henry, a sophisticated day trader worth $500k, profits from memecoins while investing in enduring assets like FXS.
    • Maxwell, the swing trader with a +407% ROI in 2023, is moving funds into USDC and ETH while holding onto GRAIL.
    • Sebastian, the long-term investor with a net worth of $16M+, is focusing on generating yield from Curve and Convex and reinvesting profits into FXS and SNX.
    • Vince, the ultra-high performing degen has boosted his wallet by over 50x by trading high-risk coins and is now de-risking.
  • Despite different strategies, a common thread is moving profits into assets they truly believe in. Turns out - many of which we have covered!

Smart money overview 🔎

We all aspire to think like the pros in the game, right?

That's why we kick things off by checking out what the smart money is up to and how much of their portfolio is still in stablecoins. The less they have, the more bullish they are.

alignnone wp-image-273277 size-full

Since the start of the year, we've seen stablecoin balances take a nosedive from 30% to a mere 15% on April 17th. But hold up, there's been a slight bounce back to 19% lately, hinting that some big players are cashing in their chips and cutting back. Likely, they're bracing for a bit of a dip in the market, but not something major - they're probably convinced we've hit the floor already in November 2022.

So now that we've done a quick run-through, let's delve deeper and shine the spotlight on some of the sharpest minds in the crypto arena. Are you ready?

LFG!

The sophisticated trader

alignnone wp-image-273275 size-full

Meet our sophisticated trader, probably named Henry or Arthur. He (or she) manages half a million dollars and loves day trading volatile coins. Henry made the most money trading memecoins in the past couple of weeks and now he’s rotating back to his long-term bags.

  • Net worth: $500,000
  • 2023 ROI: +139%
  • Style: Busy ****day trader (10-20 trades per day)
  • Wallet address: 0x299a299a22f8c7397d9db3702439069d951aea74
  • Top pick: FXS

The sophisticated portfolio

Henry’s big wins

Apr 21 → May 1: Bought $9,590.42 worth of PEPE at $0.000000194 and sold at $0.00000122 - netting $27,794

May 8 → 16: Day-traded a sh*tcoin called BEN and netted a whopping $96,000. You can see all of his trades below 👇🏼

alignnone wp-image-273292 size-full

Strategy

Henry is quite a sophisticated trader, trading frequently and using short-lived coins to bulk up his main holdings. Besides ETH, he's constantly stacking up FXS - yup, the very same token we mentioned earlier this month (read more about our target here 👀).

He's been piling up FXS since 2022, and any profits from those sh*tcoins get pumped into it. Another one he’s been a fan of recently is Manifold Finance’s FOLD. Why? They're about to roll out their own liquid staking token. And given Henry's sizeable stake in FXS, which has a similar token, it's clear he's really bullish on the liquid staking sector.

The high roller

alignnone wp-image-273273 size-full

Time to pull back the curtain on our high roller, let's call him Maxwell.

Maxwell made his fortune by backing the Arbitrum ecosystem ahead of its rise and before the airdrop.

  • Net worth: $218,000
  • 2023 ROI: +407%
  • Style: Swing trader
  • Wallet address: 0xcf4D744BE8462c3aAE89f8B7Fe80A4a7697e2c8C
  • Top pick: GRAIL

The high roller portfolio

alignnone wp-image-273297 size-full

Maxwell's big wins

  1. December 15 2022 →: Bought $$11,934.71 worth of GRAIL at $238 and is still holding this position to this day - netting $63,836
  2. January 19→ 3 March: Bought $16,576.72 worth of DYDX at $1.28 and sold at $3.28 - netting $24,061
  3. February 25 → March 18: Bought $12,252.96 worth of FCTR at $0.47 and sold at $0.62- netting $4,269

Strategy

Maxwell only makes a handful of trades per month, but boy, does he nail them. His approach is one of "concentrated betting", and he made a good chunk of his fortune by backing GRAIL early on.

Today, he's minimising risk by selling off smaller altcoin holdings like WINR, BTRFLY, CHR, and LBR, moving the proceeds into USDC and ETH. Given his medium-term focus, it looks like Maxwell sees a dip in the market coming. That aligns with our own prediction of the market dropping a bit more in the next few weeks. Maxwell, we're with you!

Now, while he's prepping for a market dip, he's clearly still holding onto GRAIL. We reckon this is a mix of sound fundamentals and emotional attachment, given it's his biggest earner. Maxwell, if you're reading this, maybe consider shedding some GRAIL too?

The long-term investor

alignnone wp-image-273271 size-full

Here's Sebastian, the fabulously wealthy long-term crypto investor who trades only a few times a year. His focus now? Earning yield to fund his lavish lifestyle.

  • Net worth: $16,160,000
  • 2023 ROI: +80%
  • Style: Long-term investor
  • Wallet address: 0xc72aed14386158960d0e93fecb83642e68482e4b
  • Top Pick(s): FXS and SNX

What's in Sebastian's digital vault?

alignnone wp-image-273270 size-full

Strategy

Sebastian is financially well-heeled, prioritising bear market survival with a long-range timeline. His strategy is refreshingly straightforward.

His focus is on generating yield from Curve and Convex (hence his hefty CRV/CVX holdings), which he then reinvests into more of his preferred long-term assets: chiefly FXS and SNX. Intriguingly, these are two assets that we ourselves are incredibly bullish on. Could it be that Sebastian is a Cryptonary Pro member?

Following Sebastian's moves might not give you much to do, but it can offer insight into his long-term investments and where he's generating yield. If you're keen to learn more about the yield-earning aspect, drop us a comment below and we'd be glad to dive deeper for you!

The degen

alignnone wp-image-273289 size-full

Last but most definitely not least, we have the ultra high-performing degen: Vince.

  • Net worth: $109,000
  • 2023 ROI: +5,511%
  • Style: Day trader
  • Wallet address: 0xf625dca051b5ae56f684c072c09969c9aa91478a
  • Top pick: ETH (He loves it for securing his profits)

Portfolio snapshot

alignnone wp-image-273288 size-full

Highlighted trades

  1. May 10 → May 18: Bought $1,807.57 worth of LADYS at $0.000000001252 and sold at $0.000000167628- netting $74,017
  2. May 15 → May 18: Bought $5,947 worth of GEN at $0.00000000639 and sold at $0.00000004431 - netting $30,688
Just a note here, Vince is a prolific trader, so these links can't cover all his transactions.

Strategy

Recently, Vince reignited his trading activity and had an epic journey, boosting his wallet by over 50X from the year's start. He's been playing the high-risk game, wagering on volatile coins, and neatly storing those profits back into ETH.

Now, we have a hunch that Vince is already rich and that this wallet is his fun challenge. The fact that he took 40 ETH and sent them to his OKX exchange account adds some weight to this theory.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠

Every trader and investor has their own style and we encourage you to develop your own by experimenting with small amounts.

The overall trend we have noticed while analysing these wallets is that they are de-risking and expecting some downside. While some made the majority of their money gambling on memecoins they have sent back their funds into safety - something you may want to consider too.

They've all seemed to follow the same game plan, which is moving their profits into assets they really believe in for the long term. The main ones we noticed were FXS, SNX, FOLD, ETH, and GRAIL. We're pretty optimistic about three of these (FXS, SNX, and ETH) in the long run, and have shared our thoughts about the importance of the liquid staking sector (FOLD) and the Arbitrum system (GRAIL). Honestly, it's been super pleasing to see our views align with these ultra-high performers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
