One month. $20M in ETH. $3.66M profit. Clean exit. This whale built a roughly $20M ETH position on July 21 and held it for about a month. Now the trade is over. The wallet moved 10,500.4 $ETH to Binance in two batches, with an average withdrawal price of around $1,902.60 and an average deposit price of $2,251.78. That works out to an impressive 18.35% return, locking in around $3.66M in profit. What stands out most is the timing. PERFECT: The whale built the position, waited for the move, and then took the money off the table. That’s one hell of a trade.
The whale that sold $ETH near the $4,400 top is buying again. Remember the wallet that managed to take profits around the $4,400 ETH high? It’s back on the buying side. Since yesterday, the wallet has accumulated another 16,699 ETH through CoW Swap, worth more than $35.84M in total. And the latest move added another 3,385.82 ETH to the bag. The average entry is around $2,146.42, with the position currently sitting on roughly $3.34M in unrealized profit. The really interesting part is where the funds reportedly came from ... a mixer. If this actually turns out to be a hacker-linked wallet, then whoever is behind it might genuinely have some serious trading skills.
This trader is fighting for survival on a 40x BTC short😬. Yesterday, he got liquidated on 240 BTC, taking a loss of around $1.11M. Then this morning, he cut another 350 $BTC , realizing another $2.58M loss. That helped bring his margin usage down to around 101%, but he’s still far from safe. He’s currently holding 488 BTC in the remaining 40x short, worth roughly $36.31M, with another $3.68M in unrealized losses. And somehow, there’s another side to this trade. He’s also long 5,000 $ETH , worth around $11.73M, entered at $2,356.14 with a liquidation price of $1,976.08. That’s a lot of leverage sitting on the table. Sometimes “I’ll stop-loss” and actually stopping are two very different things.
RALLY OF ETH is OVER? Because big ETH holders are cashing out now. Two whale moves just caught my attention. 7 Siblings sold 14,000 $ETH , worth around $32.85M, at an average price of roughly $2,346. At the same time, whale 0xFD10 swapped 11,252 stETH worth about $26.5M, plus another 1,824 ETH worth around $4.26M, receiving a total of $30.78M USDT. That’s more than $63M in ETH-related assets being turned into stablecoins. With #ETH moving higher, looks like some whales are taking the opportunity to lock in liquidity.

SharpLink is putting another $91M of ETH to work . They staked another 39,319 $ETH , worth around $91M, about 5 hours ago. That’s a pretty serious amount of ETH being moved into staking instead of sitting idle. Big players keep finding ways to put their ETH to work, and SharpLink is clearly not slowing down. OUR QUESTION: how much more ETH will they stake if this trend continues?
Still ETH whales are slowly grabbing while everyone watches the chart . Something interesting is happening on-chain. Three wallets have been making some serious ETH moves in the last couple of hours, with purchases and withdrawals worth millions. Wallet 1: Pulled 3,092 ETH from Binance, worth around $7.05M. Wallet 2: Appears to have picked up more than 4,092 ETH from Galaxy Digital through a suspected OTC deal, worth over $16M. Wallet 3: Bought another 1,044 ETH directly on-chain through CoW Swap, worth about $2.39M. That’s a pretty strong sign of whale activity. While traders are busy watching short-term price moves, these wallets seem to be quietly building their $ETH positions.

This trader just opened an $81M+ bet against $BTC and $ETH . While the market is moving up, trader 0x004e is taking the opposite side. He just opened roughly $81.6M worth of shorts across BTC and ETH: 20,000 ETH = about $45.69M, 500 BTC = about $35.93M. And there’s not much room for error. His liquidation levels are around $2,327 for #ETH and $72,755 for #BTC . That’s a massive bearish bet sitting right in the middle of a strong market move. Now it’s basically a battle between the pump and this $81M short.
Pump.fun keeps selling SOL into the rally. As $SOL pushed higher, Pump.fun once again took some money off the table. This time, it sold 143,524 SOL, worth around $12.52M. And this is just the latest sale. So far, Pump.fun has sold a total of 4.98M SOL, worth roughly $820.55M, at an average price of about $164.80. That’s a pretty serious amount of #sol being sold over time. SOL rallies, Pump.fun sells. I’ll be watching to see how much more they have left.
The short sellers just got absolutely crushed 💀. The market didn’t give these traders much time to react. Here are the 3 biggest short liquidations: 0x8c96 .... 1,829 $BTC , worth around $120M, liquidated. pension-usdt.eth , 49,808 $ETH , worth about $111.34M, liquidated. 0x8eff ..... 1,343 BTC, worth roughly $92.56M, liquidated. That’s more than $323M wiped out across just three positions😳. When the market starts moving hard in one direction, high-leverage shorts can disappear ridiculously fast. And these three just learned that lesson the expensive way.
One whale, two massive bets… and neither is going smoothly 😬. This trader is currently sitting on a 40x $BTC short worth 960 BTC, entered at $66,891.7. The position is already showing an unrealized loss of around $4.80M. He also had a huge 25x $ETH long ... 18,688.3 ETH, worth about $42.45M, with an entry around $2,270.43. But that ETH trade is now over. Just an hour ago, he closed the long and walked away with a $106.8K loss. So right now, the BTC short is the big one to watch. If BTC keeps pushing higher, that 40x short could get very painful very quickly.
This guy is basically saying: “Let $BTC go higher, I’ll short it.” 😱 The long-short battle is getting wild. One whale is already sitting on a 20x short of 650 BTC, worth around $46.73M, with an entry at $71,154.5. But that’s not all. He’s also placed another $10.95M worth of limit sell orders , about 150 BTC --- between $72,610 and $73,200. So if #BTC keeps climbing into that zone, he’s ready to keep adding to the short. That’s a $50M+ bearish bet while the market is pushing higher. High conviction… or a very dangerous game of trying to catch the top?
Whales Are Doing Two Very Different Things Right Now . The market is going up, but not every whale is chasing the pump. Some are still buying, while others are using the strength to cash out. Just 6 hours ago, whale 0x4cee sold 5,250 $ETH , worth around $11.76M, locking in a profit of roughly $1.76M. Then, only 54 minutes ago, another whale, bc1qqt, sold 550 $BTC worth about $39.43M --- taking home an estimated $4.5M profit. That’s over $51M worth of ETH + BTC sold into the rally.
While some whales are taking money off the table, others are still aggressively accumulating. The whale game is definitely getting interesting right now.
Anyways here are those two addresses: 0x4cee611502f378300981807d506629DA35cee4a7 bc1qqtw0u93lca4c38jv53a8g7ryhykvy9vsssnvtz
ETH Is Pumping… But This Whale Is Betting the Other Way The market is moving up, but whale 0x2E88 seems to be expecting a reversal. He’s currently short 9,346 $ETH , worth around $21.43M, on Aster dex The trade isn’t looking great so far either. He’s already sitting on an unrealized loss of about $1.49M, down roughly 56.25%😬. #ETH keeps climbing, and this short is getting squeezed harder.
HYPE Has Been Absolutely Brutal for This Trader 😭... Somehow, this trader keeps picking the wrong side. and has now lost more than $60M trading HYPE. Back in June, he took a massive $46M loss on shorts. Then he switched sides and went long… only to lose another $2.33M. And now he’s back to shorting #hype with another $13.32M in losses. Long? Losing. Short? Also losing. 😭 At this point, $HYPE seems to have one rule for him: wrong side, every time. Address: 0x8def9f50456c6c4e37fa5d3d57f108ed23992dae
ETH Whales Aren’t Waiting for the Dip . While the market is busy watching the charts, some seriously big wallets are quietly grabbing ETH continuously . One whale just pulled another 30,000 $ETH , worth around $67.42M, from Binance about an hour ago. And this wallet isn’t new to the game. Over the past three weeks, it has withdrawn a massive 120,000 ETH, worth roughly $237.7M. But it doesn’t stop there. Abraxas Capital withdrew another 18,000 ETH ($39.56M) from Binance today, while a newly created wallet also grabbed 6,704 ETH, worth around $14M. That’s a lot of ETH leaving the exchange in a short period. WE THINK: some big players are still pretty confident about where #ETH is heading.

$45M+ Just Got Wiped Out 😬. Crypto markets can turn brutal in minutes. Two wallets were just liquidated for a combined $45.77M. One wallet, 0x50b3, lost 281 $BTC , worth about $20.12M. The other, 0x66f8, took an even bigger hit ... 240 BTC ($17.15M) plus 3,738 ETH ($8.5M). That’s 521 BTC and 3,738 $ETH gone in one nasty round of liquidations. REMEMBER: Leverage really doesn’t give you much room to breathe when the market suddenly moves against you.

BTC going up but this whale is still selling. As the market bounced back, whale bc1qsy sold another 2,000 $BTC , worth around $136.48M, just 12 hours ago. And this isn’t a one-off. Over the past month, this whale has sold a total of 9,513 BTC, worth roughly $623.43M. address: bc1qsylwjhesm58uw9vsp7vwgadq5fqna4e3e8qnpd That’s some serious selling pressure. The big question now: how much #BTC does this whale still have left to sell?
Something weird is happening with $BTW . Five wallets just pulled around $51.4M worth of BTW from Bitget within about 9 hours. The withdrawals happened between 01:36 and 03:07, right when #BTW was getting absolutely hammered .... falling from around $0.67 to $0.31, a drop of roughly 53%. And here’s the part that caught our eye: those wallets are still holding the 150M BTW they withdrew. So was this just a move off the exchange, or are these wallets expecting something? Definitely one to keep watching.
Unknown Hacker is buying ETH too😳. As ETH started moving up, this guy reportedly dropped around $38.53M to buy 18,272 $ETH with an average entry of about $2,109. That’s a LOT of ETH to be buying while the price is pumping. Now we are wondering… is this just a hedge, or does the hacker actually expect #ETH to go even higher? Either way, these wallet moves are definitely worth watching.
A couple of whales are quietly adding to their $ETH bags. One wallet pulled 6,704 $ETH (~$14M) from Binance about 8 hours ago, with an average price of $2,087. Another wallet bought 1,910 ETH (~$4.31M) on-chain over the last 2 hours, averaging around $2,259. That’s more than $18.3M in #ETH picked up between the two wallets.
