#BinanceABCs $ETH's market has a new story. A crypto whale used 15x leverage to short Ethereum, establishing a $105 million short position. The result? The account's unrealized loss has already accumulated to $12.55 million.
What does this transaction reveal? Why would large funds leverage up to bet on a downturn at this point? Is it a pessimistic outlook on the subsequent market trend, or is there a deeper hedging strategy? The actions of whales often reflect subtle market changes. When such a large short position starts flashing red, it indicates either a misjudgment or that they are under pressure. The future direction of Ethereum's price movement is worth close attention.

Still daring to play with 15x leverage, is this guy really ruthless or just a pure gambler? On-chain data looks clear, but who can predict the next second?

Haha, this is the cost of 15x leverage. Losing 12.55 million directly evaporates, even the whales have a bad day.

Oh no, another whale is trapped. How can they sleep with a floating loss of 12.55 million... Playing short with 15x leverage, this guy really dares to do it.
