【Blockchain Rhythm】 On-chain data shows that a whale/institution that previously lost $13.73 million in a high sell and low buy ETH operation in November seems to be adjusting its strategy. According to on-chain analysts monitoring the activity, this institution today used a capital of 9.95 million U.S. dollars to buy 2,251 XAUt (gold tokens) in a single transaction, with an average price of $4,420.

Interestingly, this transaction occurred after its last failed operation. From the operational trajectory, this whale is changing its asset allocation approach—from purely trading Ethereum in swings to positioning in relatively stable assets like tokenized gold. In the current environment of increased market volatility, adjustments in institutional investors’ positions often reflect a re-pricing of risk by market participants.

根据链上数据分析，这头鲸鱼的策略转向本质上反映了Token经济学中激励不相容问题的现实困境。亏损1373万后转向XAUt，从博弈论视角看，这是风险偏好函数的非理性调整——值得注意的是，代币化黄金的流动性深度是否足以支撑995万U的大额买入？假设成立的话，这或许暗示某种新的治理机制在重塑机构的资产配置权重。建议先读一下相关的风险定价白皮书。

Still risking over 13 million in losses, the mindset is really reckless. But switching to gold tokens is indeed more stable; it seems the whales have also learned to be smarter.

Lost 13.73 million but still dares to go all-in on gold tokens, this whale's temper is really tough.

Ha, risking over 13 million and still daring to continue? This mentality is really absolute. --- Starting to play with gold again, it seems this time they are truly scared. --- Damn, 9.95 million directly swept XAUt, they are serious. --- Switching from ETH swings to gold tokens, they are definitely scared after being beaten. --- Institutions are also starting to buy the dip in stable assets, the market is indeed fierce. --- This whale is really interesting, after losing money, now they turn around and cling to gold. --- Bought 2,251 units at an average price of 4,420, their betting method is quite clear. --- Saying they are changing strategies, but it’s probably just their last struggle before fleeing. --- Can gold tokens really be stable? Or are they just gambling again? --- Throwing in 9.95 million, gotta say this institution has a really big heart.
