A whale account recently made a significant adjustment to its holdings strategy. For the first time in four years, it shifted its Ethereum position to Bitcoin, just completing a sale of 4013 ETH within the last five minutes, exchanging for 138.04 WBTC, with a single transaction value of approximately $12.59 million. The average price of WBTC was $91,117.55.

Since yesterday, this giant whale has cleared a total of 18,159.4 ETH and simultaneously built a position of 631.78 WBTC. The total scale of this conversion operation reached up to $56.8 million. This large-scale reallocation from Ethereum to Bitcoin reflects a reassessment by institutions or seasoned players of their future market allocation strategies. Whether for hedging risks or optimistic about Bitcoin's medium-term performance, such million-dollar-level position changes have always been market indicators.

The whales are starting to abandon their positions... The four-year relationship with ETH is gone in an instant. I've seen this kind of move too many times. It's time to reallocate capital efficiency.

Whales are dumping ETH to buy BTC, for the first time in four years... This pace is a bit rapid. Are they truly bearish on Ethereum or is BTC about to take off?

Whales are liquidating ETH so aggressively, it's the first time in four years... How bearish does that look?
