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.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
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.

Every piece in order, with the time its news medium declares — if it is not believable we use ours and say so — and what it added to what was already known at that point. Arriving first is not the same as adding something.
