The big whale/institution that made nearly $97 million through ETH swing trading has recently started playing high-risk games. Starting yesterday, he continuously transferred 15.5 million USDC to Hyperliquid, then directly used 20x leverage to go long—establishing a long position of 980 BTC, worth over $90 million in total.

From an entry price of $92,885, the unrealized loss has now reached $150,000. From simple swing spot trading to aggressive leveraged contracts, this major player’s risk appetite has clearly increased. During market volatility, such massive leveraged position movements undoubtedly become on-chain signals worth paying attention to.

ETH-2,2%

USDC0,05%

BTC-0,99%

Oh man, this guy is really crazy. He made nearly a hundred million dollars in swings and still isn't satisfied, insisting on using leverage to play for keeps. 980 BTC with 20x leverage... Is he gambling with his life, or does he just think he has too much money to burn? The big players are starting to go crazy, and retail investors should be cautious when following the trend. Once such huge positions get liquidated, the market will shake. Enjoy the show, but if you can't afford to lose money, don't follow suit.

Huh? Over 90 million directly with 20x leverage? This guy is really ruthless, from spot to futures, is this risk preference upgrading or just a gambler's obsession... --- Only starting to see a floating loss of $150,000? I bet he can't hold until the end of the year --- Again with this "big account movement," every time they say it's worth paying attention to, and what’s the result... the market still drops --- 97 million profit, how much can be squandered with a single 20x leverage? Is this what they call "institutional" operation? --- Wait, is this hinting at something to the later retail investors... --- 980 BTC, 20x leverage, this guy is really risking his life trading --- Blowing up about swing trading, then switching to leverage, and in the end, it always ends like this --- By the way, do these big accounts really make that much? I feel like the numbers are all exaggerated --- I just want to know, what is this person's mindset right now... floating loss of 150,000 and still able to sleep peacefully? --- On-chain signals? Bro, this is just gambler signals, okay?

lmao, dude went from comfortable eth swing trading to full degen mode. 20x leverage on nearly a billion in notional... empirically speaking, this is how fortunes get liquidated, not multiplied. i warned about this exact behavior pattern last cycle.
