Large transactions have appeared on the Ethereum chain again. A heavyweight whale has accumulated a total of 50,152 ETH since early December last year, worth approximately $156 million. Recent actions have been more frequent—just transferred 2,836 ETH (about $915,000) into a lending protocol, followed by borrowing out 6.2 million USDT to a major exchange, continuing to increase long positions. The average price of ETH for this whale is about $3,117, with an unrealized profit of $6.207 million at current prices. Judging by these actions, this is not just simple accumulation—first transferring from the exchange to a lending platform to increase leverage, then borrowing stablecoins back to the exchange. This cycle clearly aims to exploit lending interest rate spreads and price expectations to build incremental positions. In the current volatile environment of Ethereum, such moves by large holders often signal their outlook on the market.

This whale's tactics are indeed ruthless, using leverage cycle operations to bet on a future price increase.

ngl, the whole "leverage cycle to signal conviction" playbook is getting predictable at this point... but then again, maybe that's exactly the point—when you're moving that much capital, arguably the real game is about stakeholder alignment and whether the broader market reads it as institutional green light or just another whale trying to move the needle. path dependency matters here.

Laughing and then crying, I finally understand this whale's leverage cycle, but I still don't understand why the coins I hold are still falling.
