Kit bets $748 million on the rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana - ForkLog: cryptocurrencies, AI, singularity, future
An investor with assets worth $11 billion has opened long positions on the three leading cryptocurrencies, according to Lookonchain. In October, this player accurately predicted the market crash.
The total amount of longs is estimated at $749 million. The largest position is in Ethereum — $598 million at a price of around $3147. The liquidation level is at $2143.
For the rise of Bitcoin to $91 506, the whale bet $87.2 million, and for Solana rallying to $130.1 — $63.2 million.
The unrealized loss for the investor is about $49 million.
Analysts first noticed this participant in August when he sold Bitcoin for $2.59 billion and bought $2.2 billion worth of spot Ethereum. Then, the whale opened a long position on the largest altcoin, betting on its growth of $577 million.
A few days before the market crash on October 10-11, the player opened a series of short positions on the two main cryptocurrencies.
Accumulation
Other major players are also buying the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. According to an analyst with the nickname Milk Road, Ethereum holders have increased their balances by 120,000 ETH ($350 million) since December 26.
According to Nansen, over the past week, whales accelerated their acquisitions of altcoins by more than 50%. A total of 19 wallets bought coins worth $7.43 million.
Gareth Jin, the former CEO of the now-defunct BitForex exchange, believes that Bitcoin and Ethereum will soon receive a huge influx of capital. He linked this to the end of the rally in the precious metals market.
Meanwhile, the most profitable traders on Hyperliquid continue to bet on the decline of the two largest digital assets. The total open short volume for Ethereum is estimated by Nansen analysts at $121 million, and for Bitcoin — $192 million.
According to CoinGecko, at the time of writing, digital gold is trading around $87 900, and the leading altcoin — close to $2900 .
Recall that in December, the volume of leveraged positions increased by $2.4 billion, despite a 40% decrease in trading activity.
