According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a high-profile crypto whale who deposited $2.96 million USDC on May 17 and engaged in aggressive 25x leveraged short positions on Ethereum (ETH) has incurred realized losses of $2.46 million after closing a 41,927 ETH short. Additionally, the trader suffered a $175,000 loss within an hour on a 40x leveraged long of 166 BTC. The whale then reopened a 25x short on 83,638 ETH, currently showing an unrealized profit of $144,000. These rapid liquidation events reflect the high risk of leveraged crypto trading and the immediate volatility impact on ETH and BTC markets, providing a critical cautionary signal for traders monitoring whale activity.

According to Lookonchain, a trader bought 45 million LAUNCHCOIN near its peak for approximately $828,000 three months ago. When LAUNCHCOIN's price crashed over 90%, the trader sold all holdings for just $29,000, realizing an $800,000 loss. However, had the trader held, the same 45 million LAUNCHCOIN would now be worth $8.2 million, reflecting a potential $7.3 million gain. This incident highlights the risks of panic selling and underscores the importance of patience and timing in crypto trading, relevant for those tracking high-volatility altcoins and meme tokens (Source: Lookonchain, May 13, 2025).

According to @ai_analysis, a major ETH whale who opened a 4,000 ETH short position on April 25 has just bought back 3,851 ETH at an average price of $1,816.4 within the past 15 minutes, totaling $7 million. The whale then closed 3,800 ETH of shorts, incurring a $29,500 loss. Only 200 ETH shorts remain, and since April 22, cumulative shorting losses have reached $413,000. This trend indicates rising risk for aggressive short positions as prior profits are nearly erased, signaling increased volatility and potential short squeezes for ETH traders (Source: @ai_analysis).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a cryptocurrency whale who invested $16.41 million in $PNUT, $ai16z, and $arc has incurred a loss of $9.98 million, with assets depreciating over 60%. This highlights significant market volatility and potential trading risks.
