A major investor, after losing $13.73 million in ETH trading last month due to a buy low, sell high strategy, has recently resumed trading. Unlike the previous bet on Ethereum, this time the focus has shifted to gold-like assets.

Half an hour ago, this large sum was used to purchase 2,251 XAUt (gold tokens) at an average price of $4,420, totaling $9.95 million. The shift from the crypto market to gold asset allocation reflects this player's risk-adjusted strategy.

Compared to their loss-making operation in November, this move appears more cautious—shifting from highly volatile mainstream coins to relatively stable physical asset-backed products. To some extent, this also mirrors a change in asset allocation mindset under the current market environment. Whether for risk avoidance or arbitrage strategies, every step taken by this major player is worth the attention of market participants.

Lost 13.73 million and still dare to sweep XAUt? This guy is really anti-fragile. I just like this kind of spirit that wants to prove oneself even more the more they lose.

Lost 13.73 million and still dare to keep playing? This guy really has a big heart... --- Switching from ETH to XAUt, he's definitely giving up --- Major investors cutting losses and moving to gold indicates that the market trend has really changed --- A 9.95 million sweep, such a big move... retail investors like us can only watch --- Another gold token? Is the physical asset backing reliable, or is it just another way to cut leeks? --- Adjusting strategy after losses shows some rationality, smarter than those who go all in --- How is the liquidity of XAUt? Is this guy not afraid of being unable to sell?

Still daring to come back after losing over 10 million, their mental resilience is really strong. But this time, switching to gold tokens, probably to be more cautious.

Still risking 13.73 million and still playing, this mindset is really incredible... Can I make it back by switching to gold? I don't think so.
