【Blockchain Rhythm】On January 15th, a whale wallet (0x8aae8) showed notable activity—this major holder initiated a large bullish position today, with total exposure surpassing $5.5 million.

Careful examination of this operation’s configuration: using 40x leverage, they aggressively bought 37.69 BTC, entry average price set at $96,189, currently showing an unrealized loss of $4,400; simultaneously, with 25x leverage, they purchased 481.77 ETH at an approximate entry price of $3,311.99, with a loss of $7,500; they also added to ZEC holdings, using 10x leverage to acquire 740.16 ZEC at an average price of $443.07, with an unrealized loss of $14,000.

This portfolio is interesting—ranging from BTC to ETH to ZEC, mixing mainstream coins and smaller tokens, with leverage ratios varying. Although there are short-term unrealized losses, this whale clearly remains optimistic about the future market, which is why they are willing to hold such a heavy position.

BTC-2.58%

ETH-5.16%

ZEC-0.57%

40x leverage? This guy really isn't afraid of death. A temporary loss of over 20,000 yuan didn't even make him blink...

Actually, 40x leverage on BTC? that's... not exactly what i'd call "mathematical elegance" in risk management, ngl. the trust assumptions here are absolutely wild.

Playing BTC with 40x leverage? This guy is really ruthless, losing over 20,000 in one go and still adding more. Either he's a genius or he's really willing to gamble.

40x leverage? This guy really dares to play... And the unrealized loss number is still increasing, right?

40x leverage? This guy really isn't afraid of death, gambling so aggressively... This unrealized loss is just the beginning, there's more drama to come. ZEC? Who still plays this? I thought it was already out of the game. All in with 5.5 million dollars on this setup—either the chosen one or a direct liquidation, no middle ground. But the whales daring to do this truly believe in the future, though the risk is outrageously high.

Going all-in with 40x leverage—this guy isn't just gambling, he's truly got a clear view of the subsequent trend.

Wow, 40x leverage. This guy really isn't afraid of liquidation... Even with unrealized losses like this, he's still adding to his ZEC position. Either he's a genius or a fool.
