Major ETH Whale Takes New $7M+ Short Position via Aave

  • Ethereum whale shorts 4,000 ETH after losing $14.23M on earlier trades between April 22 and 25.

  • ETH price rises 1.85% to $1,806.26, showing resilience despite heavy whale shorting activity.

  • Exchange flows and active addresses show a balanced but uncertain outlook for Ethereum’s recovery.

A well-known Ethereum whale is betting against the recent ETH price recovery. On-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa reported via X that this whale borrowed 4,000 ETH (worth about $7.25 million) from the DeFi lending platform Aave. The analyst noted the whale borrowed this ETH specifically to open a new short position, signaling a cautious or bearish outlook.

「04.13 以来 $ETH 波段获利 102.9 万美元巨鲸」也是头很铁啊,再空一次 ETH!这次能拿回属于他的一切吗🤣

04.22-04.25 借币做空 ETH 亏损 38.2 万美元后,11 小时前他再次从 Aave 借出 4000 枚 ETH 并以 $1,808.62 卖空,价值 725 万美元
