On August 20, COINOTAG, citing EmberCN monitoring, reported that a whale initiated a 25x leveraged long for 3,694 ETH (approximately $15.75 million) with an entry near $4,272 and a liquidation level around $4,183. The position was liquid-duration managed, remaining open roughly 26 minutes before being closed for an estimated $100k realized gain, according to on-chain observations.
The trader subsequently withdrew balances from Hyperliquid and moved funds into Aave or temporarily paused activity, a reallocation consistent with short-term capital preservation and liquidity management. These actions reflect active position sizing and risk controls rather than sustained directional exposure, with all figures grounded in monitored on-chain data and platform records.
