One Whale Lost Nearly $70M in ETH – Another Got Wrecked Long and Short
A whale’s 28,716-ETH long was liquidated for about $69.69 million, while a separate large ETH long remained open at roughly $196 million. Another writeup puts the remaining position at 78,955 ETH, and one later item says the whale kept adding after the liquidation. A broader market note says bitcoin fell from $87,000 to below $81,000 over a few days and altcoins moved with it.
Key claims & sources
What it means
ETH traders watching large leveraged positions notice that one whale’s long was liquidated while a sizable remaining long stayed open. That leaves the market with a very large ETH position still in play, alongside a liquidation event already recorded.
