📊 Trade recap:

This February:
The whale borrowed 28 million USDT via Aave

Recently, as ETH price rose:
The address sold ETH in batches, totaling 12,402 ETH

💡 Professional analysis:

This type of strategy is essentially DeFi leverage long:

Borrow stablecoins → Buy ETH → Sell after price rises → Repay loan → Keep the profit.

While this operation can amplify gains, it also increases risk. If the price drops too much, it could trigger liquidation risk.
