On October 7 (UTC+8), whale activity saw a significant move as mtAAVEbank.ETH sold 138,000 LINK tokens for $1.9 million, according to Arkham. The whale is likely using these funds to cover an 8x leveraged CRCL position on Hyperliquid, which had a $1.25 million unrealized loss. The address holds over $21 million in crypto, primarily stablecoins, with more than 10% borrowed from Aave. This trade underscores a high-risk strategy with a questionable risk-to-reward profile.
