A $107 MILLION BTC LONG JUST HIT BEFORE THE CFTC NEWS
A major whale appears to have opened a 3X cross $BTC long worth $107.7M, with around 1.33K BTC in the position. The timing is what stands out: the trade was reportedly opened about 90 minutes before the CFTC news.
Since then, Bitcoin has surged nearly $3,000, leaving the position with roughly $3.6M in unrealised profit. The chart shows an entry around $78,056.90, while the displayed price is near $80,790.
That kind of positioning matters because a move of this size can send a strong signal across the crypto market. Large leveraged trades can influence sentiment, attract attention from other traders, and add momentum when price starts moving in the same direction.
The timing naturally raises questions about whether this was simply exceptional market timing or something more informed. Still, the chart alone cannot prove how the trader knew about the news.
With Bitcoin already moving strongly, the key question now is: was this whale early to the move—or just incredibly lucky?
