Whale closes position on BTC at $228,000, shifting focus, betting on HYPE leverage long positions with floating profits

2026-01-12 08:26:09

【Blockchain Rhythm】Interesting trading movements. A top whale decisively closed a long position of 275 BTC around 4:00 PM on January 12, earning a profit of $228,000—no small amount. But the story isn’t over; this whale clearly remains optimistic about the future market and has turned around to go long on 75,927.87 HYPE with 10x leverage, with an average entry price of $24.54. Currently, this HYPE position is slightly in profit. Judging from the quick switch from selling BTC to betting on HYPE, the enthusiasm for new tokens among large investors is indeed increasing.

This is the true mindset of a big player: taking profits in time and shifting to new tracks. I have already said that we must not miss this opportunity with HYPE.

Really a trend-chasing whale, cutting losses on BTC and switching to HYPE. The timing is perfect. Just not sure if this time can be fully copied to the end.

Whale's move is amazing, jumping directly from BTC to HYPE. It seems like new coins are really taking off.
