Кит делает ставку на рост биткоина, Ethereum и Solana на $749 млн, несмотря на неудачные позиции Translation: Headline: Whale bets $749 million on the rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana despite losing positions

An investor with assets totaling $11 billion has taken long positions on the three leading cryptocurrencies, according to Lookonchain. In October, this player accurately predicted the market crash.

The total amount of long positions is estimated at $749 million, with the largest stake in Ethereum amounting to $598 million at a price of around $3,147. The liquidation level is set at $2,143.

For Bitcoin’s rise to $91,506, the whale invested $87.2 million, while for Solana’s rally to $130.1, the bet was $63.2 million.

The unrealized loss for the investor stands at about $49 million.

Analysts first took notice of this participant in August, when they sold Bitcoin worth $2.59 billion and purchased Ethereum in the spot market for $2.2 billion. The whale later opened a long position on the largest altcoin, betting $577 million on its growth.

Just days before the market crash on October 10-11, the player established several short positions in the two main cryptocurrencies.

Other significant players are also accumulating the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. According to an analyst known as Milk Road, since December 26, Ethereum holders have added 120,000 ETH ($350 million) to their balances.

*“Addresses holding more than 1,000 ETH now control approximately 70% of the supply, a share that has been growing since the end of 2024,”* the expert noted.

According to Nansen, over the past week, whales have increased their rate of altcoin acquisitions by more than 50%. In total, 19 wallets purchased coins worth $7.43 million.

Garrett Jin, the former CEO of defunct exchange BitForex, believes that Bitcoin and Ethereum will soon experience a significant influx of capital, attributing it to the end of the rally in the precious metals market.

*“The short squeeze in the metals sector has concluded as expected. Capital is beginning to flow into cryptocurrencies,”* he wrote.

Meanwhile, the most successful traders on Hyperliquid continue to bet on the decline of the two largest digital assets. The total volume of open shorts on Ethereum is estimated by Nansen analysts at $121 million, while for Bitcoin, it stands at $192 million.

According to CoinGecko, at the time of writing, digital gold is trading at around $87,900, while the leading altcoin is close to $2,900.

It is worth noting that in December, the volume of leveraged positions increased by $2.4 billion, despite a 40% decrease in trading activity.
