BlockBeats News, February 11, according to Coinbob Hot Address Monitoring Show, the largest short whale of on-chain gold, "On-chain Investor" (0xfc66...), recently held various on-chain stock and commodity short positions worth about $80 million, and also deployed about $40 million in crypto-related positions such as ETH and SOL. The address has currently realized profits of about $12.7 million this month.


Over the past few days, the address has continuously added short positions in PAXG (on-chain gold), increasing its position size from $24.9 million to $30.3 million; its short position size in GOLD (gold-mapped contract) has also remained around $10.5 million. Notably, the whale has also established a total of approximately $36 million in "ETH/SOL exchange rate" short positions by shorting ETH while simultaneously going long on SOL, and this position has now generated significant floating profits. Its main position status is as follows:
