A big whale's recent moves are quite interesting. In just one day, they first dumped 70 million USDT into a major exchange, then quickly swept in 24,555 ETH, equivalent to $75.54 million, and then withdrew everything back on-chain for self-custody.
The strategy behind this operation is very clear—gradually increasing their position to lower their average cost. Currently, this individual holds 651,300 ETH, worth $1.92 billion. However, the average cost basis after averaging down is about $3,180, and at the current price, the entire position is floating at a loss of approximately $163 million.
In simple terms, they are adding more ETH at the lows. Based on trading volume and position size, every move by such large players influences the market. Their bottom-fishing rhythm often reflects institutional sentiment about the future market direction.

This guy really dares to play. He directly threw in 70 million USDT in one day. I just want to know when he took profits.

This move by the big players to average down their costs is really aggressive—65 million ETH. How many years would I need to save to accumulate that... But a floating loss of 163 million is really tough to stomach. You must be very optimistic about the market to dare to do this.

This guy is really ruthless, throwing 70 million a day just to break even? I think it's more of a high-stakes gamble on the future rather than bottom fishing. Can you sleep well with 1.92 billion USD pressed on ETH?

Wow, this move is huge. Throwing in 70 million USDT all at once is not something small investors can understand.

This move... truly a big player. Investing 70 million in a day, then sweeping 24,555 ETH, and immediately withdrawing for self-management. This pace is indeed exceptional.

Damn, 70 million a day? This guy really isn't short on money. He's got the strategy of spreading out costs down to a T.
