【Blockchain Rhythm】On December 18th, on-chain data monitoring shows that a whale wallet holding a massive ETH position sold a large amount within two days. This whale, which accumulated a long position through a cyclic lending strategy, is reducing its holdings — it sold 20,599 ETH at an average price of $2,869, cashing out a total of $59.1 million to repay debt.
According to on-chain tracking data, this whale also holds a position of 30,000 ETH on the Aave platform (valued at $85.2 million), but is simultaneously carrying an outstanding debt of $15.7 million. Such large-scale selling usually reflects market participants adjusting their risk exposure or responding to pressure on lending platforms, highlighting the current risks associated with leveraged trading.

This whale is really too desperate, still having to sell off assets like this to pay off debt. Their leverage game is truly top-notch.

Oh no, this whale chickened out. After messing up with leverage, they have to sell off to cut losses.

Selling so much and still in debt, this leverage is a bit aggressive... Still holding 30,000 ETH, I feel for this whale brother.

How is this whale paying off its debt? Playing with such high leverage really can't hold up

Leverage players still can't hold on, they need to sell 20k ETH to survive... This position management is really top-notch.
Whale sells off more than 20,000 ETH to repay debt, Aave position still holds over 30,000 ETH
