Crypto Whale Risks $17M in BTC and SOL High-Leverage Bet
The on-chain statistics disclose that the crypto whale, “0xdf1…6f0b0,” set maximum leverage on the Bitcoin ($BTC) and Solana ($SOL) long positions. Specifically, the trader used all the 100,000 $SOL ($8.56M) and 1,000 $BTC ($8.56M) present in holdings to place high-leverage bets.
