Recently, players paying attention to on-chain data should have noticed that Hyperinsight detected an interesting move. A whale address on January 1st deposited 8 million USDC as margin into Hyperliquid, then opened long positions in a bunch of emerging tokens including IP, XPL, STBL, MON, PUMP, GRIFFAIN, VVV, AIXBT, HEMI, MAVIA, and STABLE. By January 8th, as the market continued to decline, this big holder's unrealized gains also took a hit — from over $3.3 million down to $1.75 million.

Looking at specific positions: the BTC long is holding up pretty well, with an unrealized profit of $360,000, maintaining the maximum profit level; on the other hand, the HMSTR position is a bit tragic, with a loss of $23,000, making it the largest loss order. But this guy hasn't been idle; recently, he added more positions in BTC, STBL, FARTCOIN, HYPE, TRUMP, and LIT. It seems he's trying to lower his average cost during the pullback or has some outlook on the market. The market is still volatile, and whether this situation can reverse in the short term depends on the upcoming few days'行情.

IP-0,11%

XPL-2,91%

STBL-5,76%

8 million USDC invested and cut in half to 1.75 million in just seven days... This move is really either a genius or a big fool. I'm more concerned about the additional action—adding positions in BTC, STBL, FARTCOIN, HYPE, TRUMP, LIT all at once. This doesn't seem like lowering the cost; it looks more like... a signal?

Is this whale trying to gamble on a rebound or genuinely optimistic about the market? Let's wait and see. Cut from 3.3 million to 1.75 million, the guts are really big. HMSTR directly爆雷, this is the cost of new coins. Adding more BTC I can still understand, FARTCOIN? Bro, are you just throwing a tantrum or do you really have a plan?

This whale is really ruthless, unafraid of slashing positions in half, and immediately adds to their holdings—this is exactly how I got wiped out back in the day.

8 million USDC entered the market and was cut in half in just one week. This guy is really ruthless, still daring to add positions to average down. I'm convinced.

8 million USDC halved in value in just one week. This guy really dares to play... But he's still adding more BTC and those small coins. Is he betting on a rebound or genuinely optimistic about the market? Hmm, I'm a bit unsure.

8 million USDC entered the market and was halved in value within a week. Does this whale still dare to add positions? Either a gambler or truly optimistic about the future market. Adding coins like FARTCOIN and TRUMP, I don't have the courage for that haha. BTC can still hold up, but the $23,000 loss on HMSTR is a bit tragic. If I had known earlier, I would have gone long on the left side. Who can accurately time the top in this wave of market? Anyway, I'm just lying flat and watching the show. Emerging coins like this, making quick money means accepting retracements. This guy's mentality is commendable.

8 million entered the market and was cut in half. How strong must this big investor's mentality be to dare to add more? I really don't dare to gamble.
