【Chain News】A whale wallet starting with 0xfc66 has been very active recently, establishing 18 stock positions on-chain in succession. Among them, the most noteworthy are the large-scale short positions—Tesla(TSLA), MicroStrategy(MSTR), and Micron Technology(MU)—all shorted by this whale.

But the real main course is in the crypto assets. The core holdings of this whale are 20x leveraged short positions in ETH, BTC, and SOL, with a total size of approximately $45.64 million. Even more interesting is that this position has already floated a profit of $1.3 million, indicating that this large holder’s recent downward prediction has been quite accurate. According to on-chain data, the whale’s position strategy shows a clear risk hedging intention—both deploying in traditional stock markets and maintaining high-leverage shorts in the crypto market. This cross-market combination operation is worth close attention from traders.

ETH-0,32%

BTC-0,04%

SOL0,24%

Wow, this whale's short position setup is so aggressive, they've already made a floating profit of 1.3 million? I feel like I'm going to get beaten up in the second half of the year.

20x leverage short position has already unrealized profits of 1.3 million? This guy really knows how to be bearish. How much does BTC need to drop to break even?

This move by the whales is truly brilliant—cross-market shorting combo. The 45.64 million short position has already unrealized gains of 1.3 million. The accuracy of this prediction is a bit unbelievable.

According to the database, this whale's extension notification has been updated to the 18th entry. How many days have passed since the last commitment to fully build the position? Feel free to add more data.

This whale is really ruthless, daring to play with 20x leverage short positions. A floating profit of 1.3 million, are you afraid or not?

Wow, this whale is really ruthless. Dare to play with 20x leverage short positions, and a floating profit of 1.3 million is just outrageous. This guy's cross-market hedging strategy is pretty clever, but isn't it risky to do it this way? Shorting TSLA, MSTR, and MU together, it seems they are really bearish. A position of $45.64 million—what kind of bet is that... feels like betting on a crash. Damn, if such high-leverage short positions are hit with a reverse dump, they'll be liquidated immediately. Just want to know what this whale will do next—continue adding to the position or run away.
