Crypto Whale Risks $17M in BTC and SOL High-Leverage Bet
The on-chain statistics disclose that the crypto whale, “0xdf1…6f0b0,” set maximum leverage on the Bitcoin ($BTC) and Solana ($SOL) long positions. Specifically, the trader used all the 100,000 $SOL ($8.56M) and 1,000 $BTC ($8.56M) present in holdings to place high-leverage bets. Thus, the aggressive move of setting maximum leverage resulted in a partial liquidation. The respective development underscores the substantial dangers and volatility of high-leverage crypto trading.
As the data reveals, the whale entered the $BTC long position at the level of $67,166.90 and selected $67,227.45 as a break-even point. At the same time, the whale opened the $SOL long position at the $78.53 mark while setting the $78.56 as the break-even point. Nonetheless, surprising the whale, Bitcoin plunged to $66,548.00, and $SOL spiked to $85.38. This led to mixed results for the holder.
