Recently, someone compiled an interesting set of data—the asset allocation movements of a top whale investor over the past two months. This major player's trading strategy is quite representative: around the end of October, he spent $30 million to buy 264.8 WBTC, with an average price of approximately $113,000. Honestly, this trade is a bit painful now, with an unrealized loss of $5.7 million. But from another perspective, he's also playing a different game. Since early October, this guy has been gradually entering the precious metals sector with $12.42 million, acquiring 2,371.4 XAUt and 559.7 PAXG, at an average price of about $4,239. Not bad so far, with an unrealized profit of $410,000. This trading combination actually illustrates a clear point—during the same period, the market performance of mainstream cryptocurrencies and precious metal tokens diverged significantly. When whales do this, it's mostly to hedge risks and also reflects market participants' differing expectations for various sectors.

This move by the whales is indeed clever, using BTC's unrealized losses to secure steady gains in precious metals. This is the true art of asset allocation.

This is what true battlefield discipline looks like—being able to withstand a floating loss of $5.7 million, and still make a profit of $410,000 in precious metals. This is the way of a seasoned veteran. Not everyone is worthy of the word "hedging."

Wow, this whale's hedging strategy is quite something. Losing 5.7 million in BTC and still not panicking—this mindset is unmatched.

Oh no, look at this whale's move. BTC drops 30 million but still has an unrealized loss of 5.7 million. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable... But turning around and buying metal tokens still yields a profit of 410,000. This move is really slick.

Whale's hedging strategy is amazing. Even with a 5.7 million loss in BTC, they remain steady, balancing with a 410,000 profit from precious metals—truly the mindset of a big player. --- What does a floating loss of 5.7 million indicate? Large institutions are not afraid of short-term fluctuations; this is what we retail investors should learn. --- Diversified allocation is this kind of feeling. The stable returns from precious metals bring things back up, much more reliable than going all-in on a single track. --- Wait, the timing of this whale buying WBTC... late October? I feel like they might have missed a lower entry point. --- A floating profit of 410,000 may not seem much, but the hedging logic is the core. The gap in risk management is really significant. --- I've never understood the precious metals token track. If whales are all in, does that mean there's potential? --- Pouring 30 million and still experiencing such a large floating loss, continuing to allocate to precious metals—this psychological resilience is not something ordinary people can match. --- The divergence between mainstream coins and precious metals is so obvious. Will it reverse later? It doesn't seem that simple.

Haha, this whale really knows how to play. Losing big on WBTC while recovering through metal tokens—classic long-short hedging strategy.
