On the Hyperliquid platform, a large ETH long position holder opened a $127 million long position as the market declined, bringing the total position to $449 million. Although the unrealized loss reached $3.39 million, this move demonstrates confidence in the rebound of Ethereum and Bitcoin, which is worth ongoing attention.

【ChainNews】The recent actions of the ETH long whale on the Hyperliquid platform are quite interesting. According to on-chain data monitoring, this TOP2 level address took advantage of the recent decline last night and opened a $127 million long position in one go. Now, the total position of this address has expanded to $449 million.

The downward trend last night directly triggered all their limit buy orders, purchasing a total of 9890.76 ETH and 1018.97 BTC. However, the cost was significant, with unrealized losses expanding to $3.39 million. It’s clear that this whale is betting on a rebound for Ethereum and Bitcoin later on.

Such large-scale position building usually reflects institutional or experienced traders’ optimism about the market’s future, but short-term unrealized losses also indicate ongoing market volatility. It’s worth continuing to observe this address’s next moves.

Big Whale really dares to do this. With a floating loss of over 3 million, he's still adding to his position? I think he's truly convinced or truly crazy.
