A Bitcoin whale shorts Bitcoin hours before Trump's decision and the big liquidation!
One of the Bitcoin (Bitcoin) whales from the Satoshi Nakamoto era opened positions worth over $1.1 billion betting on the decline of the price of Bitcoin (Bitcoin) and Ethereum (Ethereum), just before U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, resulting in unrealized profits estimated at about $27 million following the market downturn.
Blockchain tracking company Lookonchain reported that the trader - known as 'one of the first investors in Bitcoin (Bitcoin)' and holding 86,000 of them since 2011 - began depositing his funds on the Hyperliquid platform starting October 9 to execute high-leverage bets against the two largest digital assets in the market.$BTC
