A seasoned holder recently completed a large-scale liquidation. Data shows that this whale transferred 26,000 ETH to an exchange for sale, and after the entire liquidation cycle, realized a profit of $269 million.

In terms of holding period, this trade's time cost was quite lengthy. The holder accumulated 101,000 ETH around 2020 at an average price of $660, and gradually reduced the position to zero at an average price of $3,313 this year. In other words, through five years of patient holding, he witnessed ETH's journey from a low point to a relatively high level.

This liquidation event also coincided with the release of US economic data. When non-farm employment data falls below market expectations, large transactions often cause additional market shocks, triggering further price fluctuations and changes in investor sentiment.

With the perspective from 5 years ago, now receiving $269 million, I am impressed.

I'm also a top trader, but while others made 269 million in 5 years, I'm still losing... --- Looking at the liquidation data, I feel like I’ve wasted my life --- Non-farm payrolls are coming, and they’re still dumping. Bro, are you trying to die? --- Bought at 660, sold at 3313, is this what you call a professional... I feel like I make more money playing games --- Another top seller, sigh, why don’t I have that awareness --- Time to run when the time comes, this guy has it all figured out --- 269 million... I can’t even make 2.69 dollars in a month

5 years from 660 to 3313, the timing is just too perfect, huh

Damn, earning 269 million in five years? That's the power of holding coins. 660 to 3313, a different level. The clear-out point was chosen so decisively, you must have known it was going to drop. I still bought at 1500, and I have to keep holding.
