A piece of on-chain data has attracted attention— that whale/institution that made $96.67 million from ETH swing trading has recently become more aggressive.
No longer satisfied with stable gains from spot trading, this individual started exploring derivatives yesterday. In just over a day, they gradually transferred 15.5 million USDC into Hyperliquid, then made a bold move—going long 980 BTC with 20x leverage. The nominal value of this order reaches $90.87 million.
The entry price was set at $92,885, and so far, it has an unrealized loss of $150,000. It seems the timing of this entry was a bit off.
Interestingly, this whale also holds a spot position of 30,000 ETH, valued at $97.7 million. The dual strategy of spot and derivatives clearly indicates a bet that this market will show significant movement.
Shifting from conservative swing trading to high-leverage derivatives is quite eye-catching in the current market environment. Whether it’s full of confidence or an upgraded risk appetite, the future will tell.

Wow, this guy really dares to do it. From a steady swing trader to a gambler... Using 20x leverage to trade BTC, it's either a huge profit or a liquidation explosion.

Raging to turn leverage, this guy really isn't afraid. Entered with 20x leverage violently, with a floating loss of 150,000 without blinking, using both spot and futures contracts... Is this confidence or a desperate gamble? I really can't tell.

Damn, going from stable range trading straight to 20x leverage—is this guy really getting overconfident or did he spot some opportunity?

Playing contracts is all about mindset. This guy is probably having so much fun that he's starting to get carried away.
