1. Market suddenly plummets.
Last week, Bitcoin suddenly crashed, evaporating nearly 700 million USD in just a few minutes, with over 160,000 people liquidated, and the largest single liquidation loss reaching 12 million USD.
This extreme market condition is referred to in the industry as 'pinning'—essentially a sudden sell-off by large holders triggering a chain reaction.
2. Trigger of the crash: Ancient large holders collectively offloading.
The 'ancient whale of 14 years' has awakened.
At the end of July, a BTC wallet that had been dormant for 14 years suddenly moved, selling off 80,000 bitcoins (about 9 billion USD) in one go.
The cost of this batch of chips was only 400,000 USD, and now it has realized a return of 220,000 times. Equivalent to buying a house in Beijing back then, now able to buy the entire CBD.
👉 Opinion: If this were in the past, such selling pressure would be enough to trigger a total collapse. But now the market only dropped 3%, indicating that institutional capital support is much stronger than before. Large holders are 'changing tracks'.
Not only this ancient whale, but several large whales have also reduced their BTC holdings in the past week:
Someone sold 20,000 BTC (2.2 billion USD) and turned around to buy 450,000 ETH.
Large holders with more than 10,000 BTC sold a total of 30,000 BTC (3.45 billion USD) in 6 days, with funds flowing into the Ethereum ecosystem.
👉 Fuqi's summary: BTC is like 'digital gold', stable but lacks explosive power; ETH is more like 'blockchain Apple', with ecology and applications, more volatile but with stronger growth potential. The strength of ETH in 2025 is essentially a vote of capital for practicality.
3. Response strategies for ordinary people.
Stay away from high leverage.
Those who suffered from the crash were almost all high-leverage players. On August 24 alone, 88,000 people were liquidated for 160 million USD.
The first lesson for survival in the crypto circle: Don't borrow money to trade coins.
Keep a close eye on the movements of large funds.
Bitcoin: Track ETF holdings like BlackRock and Fidelity;
Ethereum: Pay attention to staking volume and Layer 2 progress (such as Coinbase staking business).
Case: After a giant whale lost 14 million USD in PEPE, it directly shifted to BTC and MKR, indicating that even veterans will gradually shrink to more stable assets.
Long-term layout logic.
Key point for BTC: If it stabilizes above 115,000 USD for over 3 days, it means that the selling pressure from large whales is reducing;
Key point for ETH: Breaking through 5000 USD may trigger an accelerated rise.
Wall Street predicts: BTC may hit 150,000-200,000 USD next year, while ETH is expected to reach as high as 8,000 USD.
4. Summary from the president.
Every crash is a process of capital blood transfusion.
Old players cashing out after 14 years; whales earning 220,000 times;
New institutions are rushing in; ETFs have swallowed 800,000 BTC.
Ordinary people only have two paths:
Persist in holding mainstream assets;
Dollar-cost averaging to dilute risk.
⚠️ Remember, do not be cannon fodder in the game of capital.
