BlockBeats News, January 27th, according to Coinbob Popular Address Monitor, in the past 8 hours, the "BTC OG Insider Whale" address has reduced its long positions, with a total reduction of about 30,580 ETH longs and 427.3 BTC longs, worth approximately $126 million. This partial sell-off has resulted in a realized loss of about $9.7 million.
Subsequently, the address withdrew about $20 million as collateral and deposited it into the Binance platform. Currently, its overall position size has decreased to $679 million, with a total unrealized loss of about $49 million, and it remains the largest long position holder of on-chain ETH and SOL.

The whale's on-chain address (0xcA0) continued to borrow stablecoins on the AAVE platform today, borrowing a total of $240 million so far, accumulating a total of 148,000 ETH on the platform, with a total value of up to $433 million. This operation is a sell-off of Hyperliquid contracts, with a significant increase in spot positions.
The "BTC OG Insider Whale" is an OG address that once held over 50,000 BTC dormant for 8 years and has since gradually switched some BTC to ETH.

BitForex CEO Garrett Jin has stated that this address is associated with some of their clients.
