Misterioso OG baleia de BTC reduz posição, realizando lucro em posições longas de ETH no valor de 14,06 milhões de dólares; lucro flutuante diminuiu de 6 milhões para 3,3 milhões.

[A Rhythm of Blocks] A mysterious whale that had been inactive for eight years and suddenly made a move has recently taken new action.

Over the past 9 hours, the address 0xb31, labeled as “BTC OG insider whale,” partially took profit during a slight ETH pullback. The reduction amounted to $14.06 million, pocketing a profit of $304,000. The current position still stands at $155 million, but the unrealized profit has narrowed from yesterday’s peak of $6 million to $3.3 million. The average entry price is locked at $3,048, with a liquidation line set at $1,678.

Let’s review the timeline. From the evening of December 7 to the early morning of December 8, this whale transferred $70 million in batches from a top exchange wallet to Hyperliquid, then immediately opened a 5x leveraged ETH long position—his largest opening move in the past month. Earlier, on December 1, several related addresses (0xf6f, 0xF74, 0x411) borrowed $220 million USDT from Aave, all of which was transferred to a top exchange wallet. Among them, address 0xf6f collateralized over 126,000 ETH. That day, ETH had just touched a ten-day low of $2,718 and then began to rise steadily.

This address has a significant background. It held over 50,000 BTC in the early years, reappeared after eight years of silence, and its operations have often coincided with Trump’s statements and US policy developments. The most classic example was a few hours before the sharp drop on October 11, when he placed a $500 million BTC short position and ended up making nearly $100 million, causing a stir in the market. BitForex CEO Garrett Jin once mentioned that this address is linked to one of their clients.

Now it seems this whale is still at the table, just playing more cautiously.
