In the cryptocurrency market, the actions of major players have been making headlines lately, as much as price movements.
Bitcoin climbed back above $82,000 last week, but Friday’s US employment data created significant selling pressure on the market. The data, which came in much higher than expected and showed the unemployment rate remaining stable, strengthened expectations that the Fed might raise interest rates at its September meeting. As a result, US bond yields rose while Bitcoin fell below $80,000.
This situation was also reflected in altcoins, and the resulting volatility reshaped investors’ risk appetite. In this context, transfers made by whale wallets also attracted attention.
According to Lookonchain, a cryptocurrency analysis platform, Chinese crypto whale Garrett Jin holds the largest $ZEC short position on the chain. However, he appears to be giving up.
Jin recently closed a short position of 7,000 $ZEC ($8.16 million), incurring a loss of $4.12 million. Despite this, he still holds a short position of 32,760 $ZEC ($37.83 million), with an outstanding loss of $18.95 million. The liquidation price is stated as $2,857.
Lookonchain also reports that whales are buying Solana. According to them, a whale named “HURDw” purchased a total of 285,503 SOL (worth $28.82 million) on Hyperliquid in the last 3 weeks.
Another whale, who previously spent $4.73 million on $PONS, UNI, AAVE, and CASHCAT, purchased 3.48 million of the altcoin “4Stock” today by spending 163,256 USDT.
In addition, a wallet affiliated with the cryptocurrency trading company Cumberland is accumulating $PONS. According to the data, in the last 4 days, it withdrew 3.5M $PONS ($2.78 million) from Gate at an average price of $0.8.
The trader with the address “0xbebb” turned 4.4K into 780K in just 2 hours. This represents a 177x return.
According to the data, a trader who spent 4.4K USDC to buy 18.6M of the altcoin “4Stock” is now the largest investor in “4Stock,” with a value of 780K.
Lastly, Abraxas Capital bought 13,000 spot ETH ($32.39 million) to hedge its short position in Hyperliquid worth 141,180 <a href="https://xpertsstudio.com/morpho-midnight-launches-on-ethereum-offering-fixed/” title=”Morpho Midnight Launches on Ethereum, Offering Fixed”>Ethereum ($353.27 million).
