ETH Whale Flips $1B 25x Short to 7,355.32 ETH Long in 5 Minutes — Entry $3,784.96 (On-Chain Report)

COINOTAG News (October 17) reported that, according to on-chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa), an identified whale executed a roughly $1 billion short on ETH using 25x leverage, then closed that position and opened a long within about five minutes. The subsequent long was reported as approximately 7,355.32 ETH (circa $27.79 million) at an entry near $3,784.96, per the on-chain report.

Such rapid, high-leverage activity is notable for risk managers and market participants monitoring on-chain derivatives flows; concentrated positions with 25x leverage can heighten short-term liquidation risk and stress exchange margin systems. Market actors should verify the on-chain data across relevant venues and incorporate position size and leverage metrics into their risk assessments rather than relying on isolated transaction reports.
