Bosses, if you haven’t bound an invitation code for a Binance Web3 wallet yet, you can use my invitation code to bind it. Even older accounts that are already in use can also fill it in. It can reduce trading fees by 30%. If you’re刷刷(trading)every day, the savings over the long run can be significant.
How to bind: On the Binance app, go to the Wallet homepage, tap "Invite" → tap to enter the invitation code → copy the invitation code "EMBER" and paste it, then tap OK.
At 11 p.m. last night, ETH briefly dropped to $2,282, leaving this whale/institution with a massive ETH long just $30 away from liquidation. So, in the early hours of the morning, he quickly added $9.21 million in USDC margin, lowering the liquidation price on his ETH long from $2,256 to $2,181 and getting out of the ICU for now.
He now holds BTC and ETH longs worth a whopping $396.5 million: ◎ 115,473 ETH ($272.1 million), with a nearest liquidation price of $2,181. ◎ 1,539.5 BTC ($124.4 million), with a nearest liquidation price of $70,396.
The BTC long is fine, but that ETH long is huge and dangerously close to liquidation. He has no plans to reduce his position, so it feels like the market will have to liquidate some of it eventually 😂
A whale/institution holding a long position worth more than $352 million is extremely committed to going long: after being liquidated and forcibly closed at dawn for 28,720 ETH ($69.5 million), they immediately topped up margin and continued opening longs.
Their ETH long positions were liquidated at dawn when the price fell to $2,420, closing out 28,720 ETH and realizing a loss of $4.48 million. Only half an hour after being liquidated, they deposited $10 million USDC as margin and reopened long positions for 9,580 ETH at a price of $2,428 ($23.26 million).
They now hold long positions worth $288 million, with an unrealized loss of $9.71 million: ◎78,950 ETH ($195 million), liquidation price at $2,286 - $2,299. ◎1,140 BTC ($93.31 million), liquidation price at $72,198 - $74,379.

Impressive—after crude oil prices surged 4% today, this whale, who sold ETH three days ago to go long on oil, is now sitting on $1.9 million in unrealized profit.

The whale who bought the dip in ETH at $1,647 four and a half months ago is bullish on oil prices: After selling the 12,468 ETH it bought near the bottom four and a half months ago for an $8.99 million profit, it used the funds to open long crude oil positions on Hyperliquid.
◎ In early June, it used leverage to buy the dip on $30 million worth of ETH at $1,647; ◎ Yesterday, it sold 12,468 ETH at $2,368 for 29.52 million USDC, realizing an $8.99 million profit. ◎ It then transferred 20 million USDC to Hyperliquid to open long crude oil positions. It has now opened long positions worth $22.4 million in crude oil (including CL and BRENTOIL), and is still adding to its positions.
So determined to go long on SOXL? From last night to early this morning, one address went long on SOXL twice within four hours and was liquidated both times. But instead of stopping, it continued opening long positions.
◎ At 11 p.m. last night, it opened a $5.42 million long position in SOXL and was liquidated less than a minute later, losing $316,000; ◎ At 1 a.m. today, it opened another $4.97 million long position in SOXL. Two hours later, it was liquidated, losing $270,000; ◎ Just two minutes after the second liquidation, it opened yet another $2.22 million long position in SOXL. This position is still open and has not been liquidated.

So far, this whale/institution has sold a total of 837.8 BTC and bought 27,500 ETH ($69.68 million). The average purchase price for ETH was $2,534.
The full process: BTC on the Bitcoin chain (withdrawn from HTX a year and a half ago) was transferred to Hyperliquid → BTC was sold for USDC → USDC was withdrawn to Arbitrum and then bridged to Ethereum → ETH was bought on the Ethereum chain.

This guy’s $32.72 million ETH short position was completely liquidated last night, resulting in a loss of $1.11 million in just 2 days.
◎ On the 19th, he went all-in on leverage to short 13,830 ETH ($32.72 million) at $2,366. A few hours later, ETH began to rebound, liquidating his position. ◎ He didn’t set a stop-loss. Instead, yesterday afternoon, when ETH pulled back to $2,387, he added to his short position. ◎ Ultimately, all of his short positions were liquidated last night as ETH rebounded. He started with $1.25 million in capital, but after placing just one trade, was left with only $140,000.
This guy’s having a rough time: He shorted $32.72 million worth of ETH at 11 p.m. last night, and at 7:30 this morning, a rebound partially liquidated his position.
◎ At 11 p.m. last night, he shorted 13,830 ETH ($32.72 million) at $2,366. ◎ At 7:30 this morning, ETH rebounded to $2,409, liquidating 2,765 ETH ($6.66 million) of his position. ◎ He now has 11,061 ETH ($26.64 million) left in his short position, with a liquidation price of $2,419—just $9 above the current price.

Irish law enforcement appears to have once again recovered/cracked one of Irish drug dealer Clifton Collins’s BTC wallets today, transferring the 500 BTC inside ($41.5 million) to Coinbase Prime.
1. In 2011–2012, Clifton Collins used money earned from selling cannabis to buy 6,000 BTC. BTC was worth about $5 at the time, so the purchase is estimated to have cost around $30,000. 2. In 2016, he split the 6,000 BTC across 12 wallets, printed out the wallets’ private keys on A4 paper, and hid them in a fishing-rod storage case in his rented home. 3. In 2017, he was arrested for drug trafficking and sentenced to five years in prison. Apparently, after he went to prison, he couldn’t pay the rent, so his landlord cleared out everything in the rental property, including the case containing the private keys. 4. In 2020, an Irish court ordered the confiscation of the 6,000 BTC. Naturally, without the private keys, the BTC could not be transferred at the time. 5. In 2026, Irish law enforcement, working with Europol, recovered/cracked some of Clifton Collins’s wallets. At this point, it appears that five wallets have been recovered/cracked, and a total of 2,500 BTC ($207.5 million) has been transferred to Coinbase Prime.

Big whale leverages to buy in, chasing the ETH pump!
15 minutes ago, an on-chain whale borrowed $30 million USDS through a loop loan by collaterizing ETH from Spark, then snagged 18,212 ETH at an average price of $1,647.
This guy’s having a rough time: He shorted $32.72 million worth of ETH at 11 p.m. last night, and at 7:30 this morning, a rebound partially liquidated his position.
◎ At 11 p.m. last night, he shorted 13,830 ETH ($32.72 million) at $2,366. ◎ At 7:30 this morning, ETH rebounded to $2,409, liquidating 2,765 ETH ($6.66 million) of his position. ◎ He now has 11,061 ETH ($26.64 million) left in his short position, with a liquidation price of $2,419—just $9 above the current price.
The big players let him down: the market stop-loss at $80,500 on this whale’s $110 million BTC long wasn’t triggered. He closed his BTC long at 5 a.m. today, then went long on U.S. stocks.
◎ At 4 a.m., BTC hit a low of $80,684—just $184 above the $80,500 market stop-loss on the whale’s $110 million long. But the price didn’t fall any further, so the $110 million market sell order wasn’t triggered. ◎ At 5 a.m., he closed the long at $80,949, ultimately losing $3.26 million. ◎ He then turned around and went long on $45.8 million worth of U.S. stocks, including TSLA, DRAM, and SOXL.
Also, the liquidation price on his large long position of 1,360 BTC ($110 million) is $80,034.
He’s now placed a market stop-loss just above the liquidation price, at $80,500. Any big players interested in this $110 million position? What if they dump the price by $1,000 and trigger his $110 million stop-loss order? 😂

The whale who maxed out leverage to open a $187 million long position and bet on a rebound in the early hours of the day before yesterday seems to have failed: His 4,890 ETH long position ($11.74 million) was liquidated at $2,356 during the 5 a.m. drop.
This was the lowest point of ETH’s downward wick in the early hours today, which means his liquidation may have contributed to the low.
