BTC Whale ‘kyoyo’ Nets $5.17M Profit from 40x Leveraged Short as Trader AguilaTrades Faces $12.48M Loss

According to data from EmberCN highlighted by COINOTAG, on June 13, prominent trader AguilaTrades incurred a substantial loss of $12.48 million due to a long position in Bitcoin (BTC). This significant downturn contrasts sharply with the gains of their largest counterparty, a BTC whale known as “kyoyo,” who currently holds an unrealized profit of $5.17 million from a short position. Kyoyo’s short trade involves 1,268 BTC leveraged at 40x, representing a colossal position valued at approximately $132 million. This event underscores the high-risk, high-reward nature of leveraged trading in the cryptocurrency market and highlights the volatility inherent in BTC positions. Market participants should remain vigilant about leverage exposure as it can amplify both gains and losses substantially.
