Since yesterday, it has accumulated 148,000 ETH from exchanges, with a total value of US$427 million. As of now, it has borrowed US$240 million in stablecoins from Aave for cyclical long positions, with a health score of 1.49 and a liquidation price of US$1953.09.

Furthermore, this whale appears to be gradually reducing its long positions and converting them into spot trading.
