Recently, a whale has been making frequent moves on-chain, first depositing 70 million USDC on the Hyperliquid platform, then going all-in long on ETH, buying 54,000 tokens with an unrealized profit of $910,000. This indicates a bullish short-term outlook on ETH and is worth paying attention to.

[Bitpush] On-chain data shows that a whale has been very active recently. First, they dumped 70 million USDC onto the Hyperliquid platform, and then within a few hours went all in long on ETH.

This move is aggressive—they directly bought 54,000 ETH at an average price of $3,048, bringing the total position value up to $166 million. The account is currently sitting on an unrealized profit of $910,000.

Judging by the capital size and trading pace, this is likely a seasoned player. Building such a large position in a short period of time means either they are extremely bullish on ETH’s short-term outlook, or they have some inside information. In any case, position changes at this level are worth keeping a close eye on.

ETH-3,93%

USDC0,03%

This guy is extremely bold, going all-in with 54,000 ETH in one shot. Either he's really confident or he has insider information. The veteran is just that, with lightning-fast speed, completing the position in a few hours. I, as a retail investor, can only watch. A floating profit of $910,000 — now that's real money. While we're being stingy with our investments, they make a profit in a single move that I earn in a year. With such a large order coming in, how could no one notice? The funds are right here. I don't know what will happen next, but such a level of position change is definitely worth watching. Who knows if they're about to push the market?

Uh, this gambler is really ruthless, betting 166 million all on one coin. How crazy do you have to be to do that?

Damn, this guy is really bold, swallowing 54,000 ETH in one go. Impressive move. Must have some insider info, otherwise who would dare to do this? I want to follow along too, but I don’t have a mine in my pocket.

Damn, went all-in long with $166 million. That’s some guts. Do they have insider info or are they really bullish on ETH?

This whale is really bold, going all in on ETH—either they're going to make a fortune or lose big time. Is it due to information asymmetry? Or do they just have strong conviction? We'll have to wait and see. Over 50,000 ETH, wow, that's an incredible move. If only I had followed these veterans earlier, I’d be buying at the bottom right now. ETH is going to rise in the short term, right? Then I need to follow along too. Moves like this need to be watched closely, could be a leading indicator. Damn, $166 million just thrown in like that—I need to learn that kind of courage. Already up by $910,000 in unrealized gains, is there still more to come? Going all in on a single coin—are they truly bold or just reckless? They must have some inside scoop, otherwise who would dare to play like this? Holding over 50,000 ETH in hand, I’m feeling the pressure just thinking about it.
