#鲸鱼再次买入VIRTUAL ### **1. Loss-making whales buy again: high-risk strategies attract attention**
- **Case background**:
A whale address recently bought **5.038 million VIRTUAL** at an average price of **2.76 US dollars**, and then sold at **1.76 US dollars** due to price drops, with a loss of **5.02 million US dollars**.
- **Latest developments**:
The whale spent **419 ETH (about $1.14 million)** again on **February 21, 2025**, and bought **1.049 million VIRTUAL** at an average price of **1.09 US dollars**, suspected of trying to "spread losses" or bet on a rebound at a lower cost.
- **Market Controversy**:
This operation is considered a high-risk strategy because the current price of VIRTUAL has fallen by about **60%** from the time it was first bought, and market sentiment has fluctuated violently due to recent events such as **Bybit Exchange was stolen $1.4 billion**.

### **2. Other whales' profits and airdrop income**
- **Institutional whales made a floating profit of $11.5 million**:
A whale/institution purchased **4.251 million VIRTUAL (average price $2.35)** for **10 million USDC** **19 days ago**, and the current value has risen to **21.5 million USD**, with a floating profit of **11.5 million USD**.
- **Airdrop cash-out strategy**:
The institution received an airdrop of **101,000 VVV tokens (worth $1.68 million)** for holding VIRTUAL, and has sold **50,519 VVV** in exchange for **843,000 USDC**, with the remaining holdings worth approximately **648,000 USD**.
- **Short-term trading profit**:
Other whales made more than **1.2 million USD** in a single transaction through swing trading of tokens such as **JUP** and **WIF**.

### **3. Market risks and potential opportunities**
- **Security incident impact**:
**Bybit theft incident** caused a large loss of assets such as **ETH and stETH**, triggering panic selling in the market, which may further affect the liquidity of VIRTUAL.
- **Price fluctuations and support levels**:
VIRTUAL is currently at a low price, but we need to pay attention to the new cost support range of **$1.09**. If market sentiment is restored, there may be room for rebound; otherwise, it may continue to bottom out.
- **Airdrops and ecological incentives**:
Some whales have obtained high airdrop income by holding VIRTUAL, indicating that the project party may attract large holders through incentives, but we need to be wary of short-term selling pressure of airdrop tokens.
