2026 Opening with Millions in Profit: 'God of War' Vida Reviews the Entire Trading Process of the BROCCOLI714 Incident
In January 2026, crypto trader Vida profited over $1 million during the BROCCOLI714 incident, which involved a suspected hacked market maker account on Binance. Vida’s pre-existing $200,000 long position in BROCCOLI714 and a $500,000 funding rate arbitrage position were already in place. Alert systems triggered when the token’s price surged abnormally and a massive spot-contract price gap emerged.
Recognizing the order book showed a highly unusual $26 million in buy orders—indicating a hack or system error rather than legitimate market activity—Vida quickly closed his arbitrage positions for a $300,000 gain. He then capitalized on the volatility by adding long positions in Binance perpetual contracts during a brief “reduce-only” lift and later selling his holdings for $1.5 million as signs of the attacker’s withdrawal emerged.
Anticipating a crash once Binance risk controls intervened, Vida opened $400,000 in short positions around $0.065 and closed near $0.02, further boosting profits. Key factors included his automated alert systems, real-time order book analysis, collaboration with other traders, and correctly predicting the attacker’s exit strategy.
