An on-chain account made a profit of $730,000 USD by closing an ETH long position, then quickly used 3x leverage to establish a long position of 1,000 BTC, indicating an institutional bullish outlook on BTC's future. This large-scale operation reflects the true intentions of market participants.

【Chain News】A certain on-chain data tracking account has recently made some big moves again. First, it successfully closed a long ETH position with a profit of over $730,000. But that’s not all — the account then used 3x leverage to establish a long position in BTC, increasing the scale to 1,000 BTC, with a market value approaching $95 million.

From taking profits on ETH to leveraging up to go long on BTC, the underlying logic is clear: institutional big players are adjusting their market outlook. Currently, BTC is trading at high levels, and such position adjustments reveal that the holders maintain a continued bullish attitude for the future market. A 1,000 BTC leveraged long position will generate significant profit or loss regardless of price movements, and such large-scale operations often reflect the true intentions of market participants.

Wow, this whale is at it again. Getting 730,000 directly isn't enough... Really daring, adding 3x leverage at a high position on BTC. 1000 coins, this guts is truly unmatched. But to be honest, this move looks a bit aggressive. What if it reverses... Retail investors can only buy the dip and follow the trend; they can't learn this kind of strategy.

Damn, it's this guy again. Taking profit of over 700,000 in ETH is one thing, but then immediately going for 1,000 BTC with three times leverage? That's definitely not retail investor thinking.

Bro, this move is incredible. A profit of $730,000 directly going all-in with 1000 BTC leverage... Are you really confident about the market or just gambling?

Oops, I was educated by a big player again. I should learn from them and improve my take-profit awareness.

Damn, this guy really dares to play. He’s stacking 100 million with 3x leverage. Is he confident about the future market or just gambling with his life? Really fierce, ETH is completely wiped out and then he turns to BTC. Institutions are just institutions—decisive to the point of being outrageous. Wait, a fluctuation of a few percent in a BTC position of 95 million is an astronomical number. How big is that? Is he doing this to create some kind of impact? Feels like the market is about to be stirred up again. Crazy to the point of madness. We’ll just watch. Either make a huge profit or get liquidated—there’s no middle ground.

Here we go again. This whale really can't stay still. After cashing out 730,000, they immediately went all-in with 1,000 Bitcoin. How bold do you have to be?
