An interesting scene unfolded on the blockchain. A major holder recently engaged in hedging—shorting 6355 ETH with 25x leverage (worth approximately $20.27 million), with a entry cost at $3170.86; on the other side, they went long 99.8 BTC with 20x leverage (scale of about $9.23 million), betting on both sides simultaneously. It sounds balanced, but in reality, the account is already showing a unrealized loss of $135,000. What is the logic behind this operation? Is it betting on ETH to continue falling while BTC rebounds, or simply hedging risk? Based on leverage ratios and position sizes, the short position on ETH is significantly larger, suggesting that this whale may have a clear judgment on Ethereum's recent trend.

ETH-4,58%
BTC-1,53%

Short ETH by 25x? This guy really dares to play, losing 135,000 and still hasn't run away. Looks like he's really betting on ETH to fall.

Even with 25x leverage shorting ETH, he's already in floating loss. This guy's judgment that ETH will decline seems a bit problematic. However, the unequal leverage is quite interesting; it's clearly a bearish stance on Ethereum's momentum.

Shorting ETH with 25x leverage still results in a floating loss of 135,000. This guy is really confident... However, it seems like BTC isn't saving the situation either, feels like the wrong direction was bet on.

Unrealized loss of 135,000 and still continuing to play the balancing game... This is the truth about hedging. Betting on both sides is like not betting at all, ultimately just paying transaction fees to the exchange.
