【Crypto Whale Sells ETH at a Loss, Down $13 Million on Paper】
Honestly, the biggest losers in this crypto downturn have never been retail traders. Even the big shots known as whales can get trapped in losing positions.
On-chain analyst Ai Yi tracked a whale who opened an ETH position at $4,600 near the bull-market peak in September 2025. They kept buying as the price fell, accumulating 15,810 ETH at an average cost of $4,101.85, for a total investment of $63.85 million. Over the past year, they deposited 15,361 ETH to exchanges in several batches, including another deposit this morning, at an average price of $3,226. If they sell it all, their unrealized loss will be $13,450,000. They still have 572 ETH untouched. (Reported by Odaily this morning.)
Put simply, this is the classic story of buying at the tail end of a bull market: you keep adding as the price falls until you become a major holder, only to end up unable to protect even your principal. They bought at $4,100 and are selling at $3,200 at a loss. What they’re losing isn’t just money, but peace of mind, too. Those who know, know: holding a losing position isn’t about how big your bankroll is, but whether you can admit you were wrong.
