[Blockchain Rhythm] Gold prices have been soaring recently, breaking the all-time high of $4,890 per ounce today. This rally has made many whales trading PAXG (on-chain gold) on Hyperliquid extremely profitable.

Among them, the “largest on-chain gold bull” has recently closed a PAXG long position with 5x leverage within a few hours, earning a solid $330,000. However, this whale’s moves are quite shrewd — closing the position only took some unrealized gains, without fully exiting.

After taking profits, the PAXG long position of this address shrank from $7.3 million to $3.58 million. Although the position size decreased, at an average price of $4,415, it still has an unrealized profit of $350,000, with a return of 36%. A steady and profitable operation. This address still firmly holds the position as the largest on-chain PAXG long.

In addition to PAXG, this whale has also heavily invested in other assets: a 10x leveraged XYZ100 (Nasdaq 100 mapping contract) position worth $14.8 million, currently with an unrealized loss of $290,000; a 10x leveraged COPPER (copper futures mapping contract) position worth $5.84 million, with a loss of $46,000. It seems this whale is not only eyeing gold but also has strong interest in commodities and stock indices.

PAXG-1,36%

Hmm... 3.58 million with an unrealized profit of 350,000. This guy really knows how to do the math. The key is that he hasn't fully withdrawn, so I need to keep an eye on this address for future actions. If there's a reverse dump, it could be interesting.

$330,000 just like that, collected on demand. This move is incredible. Still holding positions to keep earning... Now that's real skill.

This whale is really ruthless, easily scooped up $330,000, and importantly, didn't be greedy and fully sold off... This is the mindset of a top-tier player.

This whale is really cunning. They got $330,000 and didn't run, just betting on the gold price to keep soaring.

This guy really knows how to play; taking a profit of 330,000 and still continuing to earn 36% passively. Why don't I have the guts to do that?

This guy is really bold. He settled for $330,000 instantly and still managed to keep the 7.3 million position steady to continue betting. His guts are unmatched.

$330,000 just like that, this technique is really clever. Half-position exit to keep eating more, I was wondering why it hasn't crashed yet.
