[BlockBeats] In the past 8 hours, the mysterious address marked as “BTC OG Insider Whale” (starting with 0xb31) has made new moves—directly dumping $50 million into Hyperliquid and conveniently adding 895 ETH long positions worth about $3.25 million. Interestingly, after this money arrived, it hardly moved, as if plotting a big move.
Looking at the current holdings: the total scale has soared to $267 million, with an unrealized profit of $15.97 million (a 30% return). The average holding price of ETH has quietly increased from $3,068 yesterday to $3,108. This round of operations is clearly bottom-fishing, and the technique is very skillful.
Looking back at earlier records is even more exciting—on the night of December 7 to the morning of December 8, this guy transferred $70 million from a top exchange into Hyperliquid, directly opened a 5x leveraged ETH long position, and the position size once surged to $160 million, making it the most aggressive opening in the past month. The average entry price then was $3,048, and looking at it now, the timing was spot on.
The background of this address is even more legendary: in the early days, he held over 50,000 BTC and remained dormant for 8 years, later gradually converting some BTC into ETH. What’s most surprising is his timing—he has repeatedly synchronized his moves with major events and policy shifts. For example, before the big drop on “10.11,” he positioned a $500 million BTC short a few hours in advance, ultimately earning nearly $100 million. This precise strike made the market explode. Some exchange executives once revealed this address is connected to their major clients, but the true identity remains a mystery.
Now this whale is making a heavy bet on ETH. Will the market follow his rhythm next? It’s definitely worth keeping a close watch.

This whale is really incredible. 50 million says and it's gone, still holding back a big move? Why do I feel like it's paving the way...
The average price keeps rising, offering a 30% return, truly the move of an old hand, holding back a laugh.
Looking at this trading frequency, when will it be our retail investors' turn to enjoy some soup...
Big players add to their positions, just add, don't manipulate the market, it's annoying to watch.
With an unrealized profit of 267 million, if this guy liquidates, it’s definitely going to smash through the floor, feeling a bit anxious.
I've seen this routine of buying on dips countless times, but the question is, how do we judge when it will exit?
5x leverage and still so stable, is it really confident or just a big gamble? I bet this guy’s sleep quality is terrible.

This whale is really incredible. They can splash 50 million just like that. As a small retail investor, it pains me to see the money... I just wish I could catch a little of the gravy.

Data shows that this guy is just buying the dip, but still... If a 267 million position really gets dumped, how many miners would get wiped out by gas fees? Let's wait and see, the historical low hasn't been reached yet.

This whale is really buying the dip, just threw in $50 million like that, incredibly bold.
Not cashing out even with a 30% unrealized profit—this person is truly bullish on what's coming next.
Daring to use 5x leverage, this guy is a real veteran. As a small retail investor, I can only watch from the sidelines.
Feels like they're holding back for a big move, and might even add more to their position.
This time, if we wait for the news, we'll already be taking the hit.

nah wait, 50m dump in 8 hours but the wallet just sits there? that's not even aggression anymore, that's just psychological warfare tbh. the cost basis creep from 3068 to 3108 tho... *statistical anomaly detected* 🚩 either this whale knows something we don't or they're just flexing at this point. based on historical patterns, this silence usually precedes something messy lol

Another 50 million dumped... I was still taking a nap here, and this guy has already started arbitraging. 267 million in holdings, 30% unrealized profit—what happened to buying the dip? I’m getting a whiff of leverage here.
Is this really a big move or is he going to get trapped again? I’ll check the gas fees after I’m fully awake to see if it’s worth following.

This whale is really ruthless, just dumped $50 million without hesitation, not even pumping the price, just holding back for a big move? Honestly, I can't understand this kind of trading logic.
---
Not taking profit at 30% unrealized gains basically means betting that prices will go higher, right? The psychological resilience needed for this move must be insane.
---
Wait, dumping so much money continuously without worrying about slippage? Or do they just not care about this amount of money at all?
---
I just want to know if this guy is an institution or a real individual. Moving $267 million so casually is just unbelievable.
---
Buying the dips sounds easy, but the key is to get the timing right. This whale is clearly very experienced.
---
5x leverage on ETH longs, that's either a pure gamble or genuine bullish conviction for the future market. I just don't have the guts for that.
---
Over 890 ETH, just this position alone can move the market, no wonder they operate so aggressively.
---
What does "holding back for a big move" mean? Are they planning to add more, or just leave it there and watch the market?
---
$267 million with $15.97 million in unrealized profit, this return is probably just a drop in the bucket for a whale like this. Really envy people with that kind of scale.

This guy is really holding back a big move. He just threw in 50 million like that and didn’t even flinch... An old whale is truly an old whale.
Mysterious whale dumps another $50 million! ETH holdings reach $267 million with a 30% unrealized gain. Will they continue to add more this round?
