#以太坊大户持仓变化【What is this whale betting on? The story of a $7 million unrealized loss】

A whale address that once transferred funds to an exchange and sold 255 BTC on January 3rd simultaneously opened short positions across multiple assets and leverage levels:

BTC 10x short
ETH 15x
SOL 20x
XRP 20x
STBL 3x

It appears to have a very confident bearish outlook on the market.

But the market did not follow this whale’s script.

The market moved in the opposite direction. As the reversal progressed, this large pile of short positions started bleeding. The overall unrealized loss has now expanded to over $7 million. Even more heartbreaking is the change in account status — from a peak profit of $5.5 million, it has plummeted straight down to a net loss of about $2.5 million.

This is the reality of leveraged trading: a firm stance in one direction can come at the cost of the other.

ETH-0,5%

BTC0,55%

SOL3,07%

XRP0,56%

Oh my god, $7 million is gone just like that. This whale is really gambling aggressively. --- What the hell is a full short squeeze? Leveraged trading is truly a gambler's game. --- From a profit of $5.5 million to a loss of $2.5 million, this turnaround is too extreme. --- With 20x leverage, XRP still dares to go all in. Aren't they afraid of liquidation? --- The market never moves the way you want. This whale has definitely paid tuition fees. --- Seeing this story makes me feel reassured, indicating that big players can also lose money. --- Is this guy sure he's bearish on the market? Why does it keep going against him?

Oh no, this whale was too pessimistic, and as a result, the market turned around and took them out. 7 million USD just disappeared like that, it cracked me up.

7 million directly lost, this is the consequence of going all in on one direction... Even the biggest whales can't withstand the market's counter-moves, this loss is truly severe.

Oh no, even whales have their bad days. $7 million just disappeared like that... It seems that no matter how big the address, it can't escape the grip of leverage.
