ETH once again surpasses the $3000 mark, with market participants showing varied position performances. A major holder with a stake of $7.75 billion has recently had a better time—unrealized losses have shrunk from previous highs to $22.82 million. This holder mainly allocates in ETH, accounting for 80%, with a current single-coin unrealized loss of $19.8 million.

What’s more heartbreaking is that, to maintain this long position, they have already paid $4.126 million in funding fees. In this rebound, every $0.1 increase means a significant P&L change for them. At the start of the new year, in this $3000 defense battle, major players are also doing their best.

7.75 billion still floating losses, how strong must that mentality be --- 4.126 million in funding fees, really just testing the edge of a gambler --- Every $0.1 is an astronomical number, I just want to ask who can withstand this psychological pressure --- The 3,000 yuan defense battle, frankly, is just big players' self-comfort --- 80% betting on ETH, how much do you have to believe in this thing --- Floating losses of 22.82 million reduced to this point and still say "life is better," becoming numb indeed

Uh... 775 million still has an unrealized loss of 22.82 million. How strong must the mentality be? 4.126 million in funding fees, really just building walls with money. A $0.1 fluctuation can scare people to death. Why are you so persistent? Going all-in on ETH with 80%... If this guy goes against the trend, it must be so uncomfortable. I don't believe he can sleep well right now. It feels like the 3000 level is about to be tested repeatedly again.

7.75 billion still has an unrealized loss of 22.82 million? How strong is this guy's mentality? I would have been liquidated long ago.

Still floating at a loss of 775 million, I really can't hold on anymore. This is the price of a all-in gamble.

7.75 billion still has an unrealized loss of over 20 million, how strong must that mentality be... If it were me, I would have already lost sleep.

7.75 billion still floating loss? Oh my God, this is true pressure --- 412.6K in fees, still so brutal, even big players can't easily dominate --- Every $0.1 movement is a million-level fluctuation, how exhausting that must be --- 80% margin on ETH, such boldness, gambler's mentality --- Rebounded but still lost so much? How low does the bottom have to be --- With such high funding costs, might as well just admit you're trapped --- This battle at the 3000 level, feels like a desperate defense --- Reducing floating loss to 22.82 million, is that considered a good day? I must be crazy --- With such heavy positions, the risk is outrageously high --- A $0.1 rise or fall is worth tens of millions, truly incredible

statistically speaking, this is the exact playbook from 2017 when whales thought hodling through funding fees was a "long-term strategy"... *checks notes* yeah, history really does rhyme
