Whale significantly reduces position by $4 million! Multiple cryptocurrencies such as SOL, ZEC, PUMP, and others face selling pressure simultaneously.

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】On January 9th, a well-known on-chain whale address (0x94d) began heavily reducing its long positions. Several popular cryptocurrencies such as SOL, ZEC, PUMP, and HYPE were all included in the liquidation.

Data shows that this whale has already liquidated approximately $4 million worth of assets. Its total holdings have dropped from a peak of about $352 million and are still being sold off. Especially with HYPE, all long positions have been cleared.

The origin of this address is quite interesting. It only started building its position in December last year, with an initial account balance of around $20 million. But afterward, it kept increasing its short positions on mainstream coins like BTC and ETH—meaning it was betting against them.

Interestingly, its trading direction is exactly opposite to that of MicroStrategy, a listed company that continuously buys BTC. So the market has nicknamed it the “On-Chain Counterparty.” Now that this counterparty is significantly reducing its holdings, could it be signaling something to the market?

SOL0.09%
ZEC-0.12%
PUMP4.52%
HYPE-0.69%

This move by the whale is really aggressive, throwing out 4 million in one go, it feels like they're dumping the market.

Whale reducing holdings by 4 million isn't a big deal; the problem is that this incentive mechanism itself has flaws. Who will balance short-term arbitrage and long-term value?

4 million USD is just a drop in the bucket. This whale is really timid; the coins they were confident in turned around and dumped. All the HYPE is gone... This pace is indeed a bit awkward.

4 million USD is not a lot or too little, but this wave of forced liquidations is indeed interesting, feels like testing the bottom?

4 million dollars just wiped out instantly, this whale is really ruthless. HYPE was completely cleared... Seems like there's not much optimism for the future market.

Whales are starting to dump again? $4 million is a small amount; it seems they don't have much confidence in the market outlook.

$4 million spent and this is the reaction? I think this guy might also be panicking. HYPE is completely genuine, it seems the high-level bagholders are about to vomit blood. MicroStrategy is buying BTC while this guy is shorting, the contrast is indeed outrageous. Who's right or wrong, we'll see at the end of the year. SOL has been really unstable recently, even whales can't sit still. What's the story behind this address? They only started playing in December and already reached this scale.

Whales are rushing to run away... Could there be some movement we haven't noticed yet?
