Who Is Stan Druckenmiller? The Man Who Broke the Bank of England Just Backed Hyperliquid

Stan Druckenmiller is an American billionaire investor, the former lead portfolio manager of George Soros’s Quantum Fund, and the trader behind the 1992 bet that broke the Bank of England. For three decades his firm, Duquesne Capital, averaged around 30% a year without a losing year. On October 29, 2026, he posted on X for the first time ever to say he is an investor in Trade.xyz, the team bringing Hyperliquid perps to the United States with ICE. That tweet is trending for a reason. Wall Street’s most respected macro trader barely gives interviews, let alone posts online.
