【Block Rhythm】According to on-chain monitoring data, a well-known short address has been making quite a splash in the Solana ecosystem recently.

This address has recently increased its short positions on PUMP and also opened a new short on MET (Meteora, a Solana ecosystem project). Currently, it holds a 10x leveraged short on PUMP, with a scale of about $4.01 million, an average price of $0.00238; additionally, there is a 3x leveraged short on MET, with a scale of about $300,000, an average price of $0.31. As of the latest news, this address continues to add to its short positions on these two tokens.

Moreover, it has also established a broad short position on Meme coins on the Solana chain. Tokens like PEPE and Fartcoin, which have recently experienced significant gains, have been shorted by this address, with a total scale of about $1.2 million.

What’s more interesting is that despite the recent upward trend from last night to this morning, this address has actually increased its LIT short position against the trend. Its LIT holdings have now reached $14.2 million, with an average price of $2.70, and an unrealized loss of $1.74 million, making it the largest short position on LIT on the Hyperliquid platform.

Overall, since November, this address has held short positions on over 20 altcoins. The total position size has grown from about $20 million at that time to now $46.7 million. Although the recent market rally has reduced its unrealized gains by about $3 million, it is still in a small profit overall. Even more astonishing, this address has accumulated profits of $80 million year-to-date.

PUMP-5,19%

MET6,23%

PEPE-0,51%

FARTCOIN-7,16%

This whale is really bold, still adding to a 46 million short position? Not afraid of being blown up at all. --- PUMP has risen to this level, yet he's still daring to 10x short. This guy's mentality is really tough. --- The shorting strength on Solana this time is outrageous; meme coins have no chance left. --- Waiting to see when this address gets liquidated in a reverse margin call; that will be interesting. --- Continuously increasing holdings? Just bottom fishing for shorts, betting the entire ecosystem will collapse. --- 120,000 meme coins shorted; he's targeting all the hot spots. --- LIT is still rising while he's shorting; this player is truly a contrarian. --- 46 million in volume, so solid? I feel like I'll end up losing sooner or later. --- The Solana ecosystem has been heavily shorted recently; no wonder the coin price is so weak.

This whale is really ruthless, directly investing 46 million into the SOL ecosystem. It seems determined to short.

This whale is really ruthless, directly throwing in 46 million to short, with such a high risk, who can withstand it?

Damn, this guy is aggressively shorting in the SOL ecosystem, breaking through 46 million... I wonder if he's trying to go head-to-head with the king of gains? With PUMP and MET both being bearish, how much more bearish do you have to be to stack like this?

Bro, this whale is really brave. With 46 million in shorts, aren't they afraid of a reverse move? --- Solana's short position is really fierce this time, with a PUMP directly at 10x leverage. Are they planning to go all in? --- Shorts are so scattered? Not sparing PEPE and Fartcoin, it feels like betting on the entire ecosystem collapsing. --- MET only has 300,000 in short orders, but they seem quite confident in this project. --- If you ask me, with so many shorts pressed together, I'm just worried that a sudden rebound might cause a liquidation. --- 4.01 million PUMP short orders—who's the big shot looking down on PUMP? --- Even LIT is being shorted. The Solana ecosystem has really been thoroughly shorted this year. --- Leverage shorting—what kind of heart do you need to play this way? --- What is this address trying to prove? Is the entire Solana ecosystem a bubble? --- Only 10x leverage. I thought it would be more aggressive. Looks like the shorts are also scared.

Bro, this whale is really ruthless. A 46 million short position is a bit outrageous. --- PUMP is only a little over two cents, and yet they dare to short 10x? This guy's guts are really big. --- All meme coins are being shorted across the board. Is this a sign of the entire ecosystem being pessimistic? --- With such aggressive whale shorts, could they be privy to some insider information? --- A 4.01 million PUMP short position. If they miss this move, how much would they lose? --- Meme coins on Solana are being targeted so aggressively; it feels like they're about to cool off. --- This address is probably a professional short seller, with such a systematic layout.

This whale is serious, smashing a 46 million short position... The Sol ecosystem should be panicking now, right?

Bro, I would call this whale's operation the "Lettuce Harvesting Machine 3000." 46 million just to short? With my current assets, I can only watch the live stream. This guy, like me, is also playing "Guess You Like," but he's earning from shorting fees, while I earn from the laughs. PUMP and MET have both been targeted, indicating that this brother's understanding of the Solana ecosystem is more serious than my reading of whitepapers. It's hilarious. I was buying at the bottom, and he's targeting the top—it's almost a mutually beneficial relationship. If this move makes a profit, I’ll bow to him. If he loses... then we are in the same boat, brothers in hardship.
