Whale trading activity has drawn attention as the BTC OG whale "BTC OG 内幕巨鲸" faces a $103 million floating loss. The whale's total position is now at $680 million, with all profits from a $1 billion BTC short wiped out following the crash on October 11. The whale also holds large ETH and SOL longs on AAVE, along with 148,000 ETH in reserves. A stop-loss strategy may be critical as ongoing market volatility continues to erode gains.

"The BTC OG insider whale" refers to an OG address that once held over 50,000 BTC and remained dormant for 8 years, later gradually transferring part of the BTC to ETH. Its operations have repeatedly aligned closely with Trump's statements and U.S. policy shifts. Hours before the "October 11" crash, it positioned $500 million in BTC short positions, earning nearly $100 million and drawing market attention. BitForex CEO Garrett Jin once stated that this address is associated with some of his company's clients.
