Ethereum is currently trading up 0.5% in the past 24 hours and 1.2% in the last hour, showing strong market momentum.

A Pattern of High-Stakes Trades

This same trader made headlines just days ago with a highly profitable trade on March 10.

On that day, the whale:

• Sold 947 ETH for $1.95 million USDC and deposited the funds into Hyperliquid.
• Opened a 50x leveraged long position that quickly grew to 25,095 ETH ($53.7 million).
• Closed the position after ETH surged, securing a $2.15 million profit in just 50 minutes.

High risk, high reward!

The whale (likely armed with insider info) made another $2.15M in just 50 minutes!

About 50 minutes ago, the whale sold 947 $ETH for 1.95M $USDC and deposited it into #Hyperliquid to long $ETH with 50x leverage.

This wasn’t the first time the trader executed a high-risk, high-reward strategy. Before President Trump’s executive order on a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the whale went long on Bitcoin and Ethereum with 50x leverage, making $6.8 million in profit.

The rapid success of this whale has led to speculation that they may be trading with insider information. The timing of their trades has consistently aligned with major market-moving events.

With Ethereum’s price rising, all eyes are now on this massive leveraged bet. If ETH continues to climb, this whale could see another multi-million-dollar payday. However, a sudden drop below $1,854.4 could result in a complete liquidation of the position.
