According to @EmberCN, despite recent losses from leveraged ETH trading during its price drop, whales are once again entering leveraged positions as ETH shows slight recovery. A significant whale has reportedly converted BTC into ETH and leveraged 25,400 ETH (approximately $52.45 million) for a long position. This highlights recurring high-risk behavior in the market.

According to Santiment, Cardano (ADA) key investors, including whales and sharks holding between 100K to 100M ADA, have increased their holdings by 819.4 million ADA over the past six months. Despite a significant 71% price drop from $0.90 to $0.26 during this period, these wallets have added approximately $213.9 million worth of ADA, accounting for an additional 1.6% of the total supply. This accumulation trend highlights confidence among large holders and suggests potential future market movements.

According to @OnchainLens, the whale wallet 'pension-usdt.eth' has reopened leveraged long positions on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with 3x leverage for BTC and 5x for ETH. The size of these positions is reportedly still increasing, indicating potential bullish sentiment.

According to Santiment, Bitcoin wallets holding 10-10K BTC have reduced their holdings by 0.8% since the October 2025 peak, indicating a sell-off among whales and sharks. In contrast, wallets with less than 0.1 BTC have increased their holdings by 2.5% during the same period, showing accumulation among retail investors. Santiment notes that a rally may face limitations without the support of larger stakeholders.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, two large Ethereum (ETH) traders have significantly increased their long positions over the past 50 minutes, raising their collective holdings from 100,000 ETH to 105,000 ETH. Despite a total unrealized loss exceeding $10 million, these addresses continue to bet on ETH price recovery. One address holds 60,000 ETH worth $117 million, while another holds 45,000 ETH valued at $87.82 million. Both positions are currently under water, with opening prices at $2,059.8 and $2,029.38, respectively. The two addresses are speculated to belong to the same entity, potentially a whale investor.

According to @lookonchain, three significant Ethereum (ETH) liquidation zones have been identified on-chain. Trend Research holds 356,150 ETH, with liquidation prices ranging from $1,562 to $1,698. Joseph Lubin and two unidentified whales collectively hold 293,302 ETH, with liquidation levels between $1,329 and $1,368. Additionally, an entity called 7 Siblings possesses 286,733 ETH, with liquidation prices at $1,075 and $1,029. These zones could impact market dynamics if triggered.

According to @santimentfeed, Bitcoin (BTC) fell to as low as $60,001 for the first time since October 2024 as whale and shark wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC reduced their share of the supply to 68.04%, a nine-month low. According to @santimentfeed, these large holders dumped 81,068 BTC over a recent period, and the diminished share is cited as a driver of the current BTC selloff.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the wallet 0x8fdc74bad4aa20904a362d4b69434a0cf4d97f43 linked to Yi boss is only 86 dollars from liquidation as ETH fell below 1900, and Trend Research indicates six leveraged addresses with current liquidation bands between 1,574.23 and 1,681.20. According to @ai_9684xtpa, the wallet has not sold additional ETH, withdrew 7.989 million USDT from Binance about two hours earlier, then re-deposited the funds, and the address is visible on Arkham Intel.

According to @lookonchain, ETH (ETH) dropped below $2,000 while Tom Lee’s Bitmine holds 4,285,125 ETH, which @lookonchain estimates translates into over $8B in unrealized losses at current levels. According to @lookonchain, Bitmine bought another 41,788 ETH last week and currently holds 4.285M ETH, citing a Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) press release on PR Newswire that reports ETH holdings of 4.285 million tokens and total crypto and cash of $10.7 billion. According to @lookonchain, traders can monitor the whale-sized Bitmine wallets highlighted in its post and track related exchange inflows for on-chain signals that often precede shifts in ETH liquidity and volatility.

According to @EmberCN, the entity dubbed Xiao V accelerated ETH selling, unloading 1,470 ETH in the past hour, with the author noting the pace increases as price declines. According to @EmberCN, the sale began on the 3rd using a TWAP approach with a planned total of 16,384 ETH earmarked for project funding. According to @EmberCN, roughly three days into the plan, cumulative sales reached 4,531.6 ETH, indicating ongoing incremental sell pressure tied to the TWAP execution.

According to @lookonchain, Bitcoin has fallen below the Strategy account's cost basis, leaving an estimated 1.5B unrealized loss. The source adds that during 2022–2023 the account's BTC position remained underwater for over 500 days. The source reports they sold 704 BTC only once on Dec 22, 2022, and quickly repurchased 810 BTC, describing an otherwise strictly buy and hold approach. Based on @lookonchain's history, this pattern signals limited historical distribution from this large holder during deep drawdowns, and traders may monitor on chain flows for any deviation as a potential liquidity signal, according to the source.

According to @EmberCN, multiple leveraged Ethereum (ETH) whale or institutional borrowers are being stopped out at the current price zone. According to @EmberCN, one identified address cluster executed stop-loss exits totaling about 36.9K ETH on Hyperliquid over four days and withdrew roughly 82.36M USDC to repay debt. The source adds that the deleveraging is ongoing, with about 56K ETH still being reduced, according to @EmberCN.

According to @EmberCN, the address now holds approximately 173,000 ETH valued around $406 million and 1,500 cbBTC valued around $113 million.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, an on-chain whale address (0x9D26...01BfF) accumulated over $31.62 million of HYPE around ~$33 and capitulated near ~$30 at the recent low, realizing a loss; this positioning and exit are verified via the referenced HyperBot wallet page. The source adds that if the position had been held until today, the potential profit would have exceeded $4.23 million, highlighting the challenge of timing mean reversion moves. Based on the same source data, traders should monitor potential supply near the whale’s cost basis around $33, track whale flows and on-chain liquidity, and use disciplined risk management on any rallies.
