【Crypto World】A data point monitored on-chain has sparked attention: On December 19, a recognized early Bitcoin holder (nicknamed “BTC OG Insider Whale”) transferred a total of 5,152 BTC to a major exchange, worth over $440 million at the time.

Interestingly, behind this large inflow, the whale’s current long positions are actually underwater. Data shows that his leveraged long positions on ETH, BTC, and SOL have a combined unrealized loss of over $76 million — it’s like betting on a rebound.

Specifically, ETH is the worst: a 5x leveraged long position worth $574 million, opened at $3,147.39, now losing $65.35 million. The 5x leveraged long on BTC, though smaller in scale ($85.44 million), opened at $91,506.7, is also down $6.04 million. SOL’s situation is slightly better, with a $36 million 5x leveraged long losing $4.7 million, opened at $135.2032.

From on-chain activity, this inflow may be preparing for the next move — whether to add to the position to lower the average cost or for other purposes, the market is still waiting for his next move.
