2026 Start of the Year Shocking Case: Hacker's Large-Scale Transfer Plan "Snatched" by Local Traders, Million-Dollar Profit

As the New Year’s fireworks of 2026 just faded away, an invisible war for capital has quietly begun on the chain. The previously obscure token, Broccoli (BROCCOLI714), experienced an extreme volatility within just one hour—rising tenfold and then crashing. On the surface, it appeared to be a hacking theft incident, but in reality, it was a crystallization of “Di Hu” wisdom in a three-party game.

The Hidden Capital Migration Behind the K-Line

At 4:00 AM, Vida, a professional trader, triggered an automatic alert system. The BROCCOLI714 accumulated at a cost of $0.016 suddenly surged by 30% in the short term, accompanied by a huge spread between spot and futures markets—this is a typical abnormal signal.

On-chain data revealed the truth: a suspected stolen market maker account was executing an ancient yet violent capital transfer scheme. The hacker couldn’t directly withdraw USDT (a stablecoin), as exchange risk controls would freeze it instantly; therefore, he chose wash trading—buying and selling with himself. By purchasing low-liquidity small coins at sky-high prices in the spot market, he transferred stolen funds to another account under his control.

The data is shocking: Binance’s spot order book shows a massive buy order of 26 million USD, while BROCCOLI714’s total market cap is only 40 million USD. This is equivalent to forcibly acquiring half a neighborhood’s worth of cash. This is not investment; it’s a desperate act of capital transfer.

Precise Sniping by the “Di Hu” Trader

Vida’s reaction speed determined everything. He didn’t blindly follow the trend but conducted multi-layer arbitrage based on the logic of “certainty liquidity”:

First was identifying price discrepancies. Binance futures market triggered a circuit breaker due to excessive volatility, with futures prices held at 0.038, while the spot surged to 0.07, and external markets skyrocketed even more. This was a golden window for arbitrage.

Second was a race against risk control and time. Vida used his trading terminal to attempt long positions every 5-10 seconds, betting on the circuit breaker lifting or slow risk response during the window. He successfully added $200,000 in positions at a cost of 0.046. This “Di Hu” style operation, combined with high-frequency monitoring and automation, kept risks within acceptable limits.

The third layer was psychological warfare. At 4:21 AM, the hacker suddenly withdrew the large buy orders. For followers, it was panic time; but Vida swiftly sold all his positions, pocketing $1.5 million in an instant. One minute later, the hacker re-placed orders, pushing the price to $0.15—this withdrawal exposed the hacker’s suspicion and testing, which became Vida’s escape hatch.

The Final Turn and Revelation

At 4:32 AM, the buy wall completely disappeared. Binance’s risk control finally intervened, the stolen account was frozen, and BROCCOLI714 instantly collapsed. Vida had already taken profits and exited; he shorted from 0.065 down to 0.02, profiting again amid the price crash.

This year-starting trading drama ended in an absurd manner: the hacker lost most of his funds, BROCCOLI714 soared and then fell within an hour, and heavily armed “Di Hu” traders, through infrastructure and deep market psychology insights, precisely harvested amid chaos.

The world of Web3 still follows the law of the jungle—there are no linear labor returns, only extreme rewards for cognitive differences and brutal punishments for security lapses. In this dark forest, becoming a hunter is far more important than being prey.

In 2026, may everyone become a market predator like Vida.
