Just noticed a whale playing with fire—directly borrowed 5,000 ETH from Aave to short, worth $15.66 million.

They acted fast: first dumped 4,000 ETH (about $12.49 million) into a major exchange, and sent another 1,044 ETH ($3.26 million) to another platform. Before anyone could react, 40 minutes later they had already withdrawn $12.45 million USDT from the exchange—the amount almost exactly matches the 4,000 ETH they deposited, clearly cashing out and leaving.

What does this move suggest? Someone is betting that ETH will drop in the short term. Here’s the address: 0xfc09d8c9a63670702c2de876ff95608ab971dcd6. Feel free to dig into the data yourself if you’re interested.

ETH-4.09%

The way these whales operate reminds me of that wave last year—the same old trick, it's so obvious.

Cashed out over 12 million in 40 minutes, that's some insane speed. Is ETH about to crash?

This whale is up to something, cashing out and running in 40 minutes. That’s some experienced moves. Wait a minute, isn’t there something off about this logic? Why be in such a rush to sell after borrowing to short? Can’t play the big players’ games, better stick with farming airdrops. Looks fake at a glance, no way the timing is this coincidental. This is obviously a dump, poor little retail investors. Just dropping a contract address so we’ll follow the crowd, that’s a deep trick, bro. Is ETH going to drop again? My positions... If this money gets dumped, how much will it crash the market? Interesting, but I’m betting ETH will rise. How much damage could 5,000 ETH do?

This guy is really bold, directly pulling out 5,000 ETH to bet on a drop. Just watching it is thrilling. --- Wait, cashed out the whole thing in 40 minutes? At that speed, there’s clearly some insider info. --- Using both Aave and exchanges, this move was arranged meticulously. How familiar with the market must they be? --- 5,000 ETH… I can’t even hold onto 5. Is this the gap between me and the whales? --- Wait, is this address real or not? Can someone help me check the on-chain data? --- Shorting and betting on a drop—what’s that hinting at? Is ETH about to make a move soon? --- $15.66 million in one go, win or lose, you have to respect the trading strategy. --- Someone is borrowing money to dump, and I’m still staring at charts. --- This is what a real large transaction looks like, way more professional than those influencers who call trades every day. --- By the way, for operations of this scale, can exchanges really process withdrawals this fast, or is it just a different level?

ngl, 40 mins to extract 1.2M USDT? that's not even optimal window timing... this guy either has serious CEX connections or literally doesn't care about slippage. the MEV here must be insane tho 👀
