According to @OnchainLens, the "66,000 Borrowed Whale" bought $162.77M in ETH from Binance and supplied it to Aave V3 (source: @OnchainLens). Five days earlier, the entity deposited 70,000 ETH worth $222.72M into Binance (source: @OnchainLens). The wallet now holds 432,718 ETH valued at $1.23B (source: @OnchainLens). These nine-figure ETH flows highlight significant on-chain liquidity movements across Binance and Aave V3 that traders tracking ETH lending and exchange activity may monitor (source: @OnchainLens for flow data).

According to @OnchainLens, the address labeled as the 66,000 ETH borrowed whale withdrew 199,720 ETH worth about $632.47M from Aave V3, indicating a major position change (source: Onchain Lens). The same source reports the whale transferred 44,000 ETH worth about $140.24M to Binance shortly after (source: Onchain Lens). @OnchainLens adds that the whale appears to be starting to close its ETH long and is currently facing an estimated ~$70M loss (source: Onchain Lens). Traders often monitor large exchange-bound inflows because they can increase near-term sell-side liquidity if sold, a relationship frequently highlighted by on-chain analytics firms such as Glassnode (source: Glassnode).

According to @OnchainLens, a whale withdrew 60,000 ETH valued at $213.73M from Binance and deposited it into Aave V3, and the wallet now holds 326,902 ETH worth $1.16B (source: @OnchainLens; Arkham address 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to Arkham’s transaction explorer, the on-chain path shows funds leaving Binance to the whale address and then moving into Aave V3 (source: Arkham). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham data, this flow shifts 60,000 ETH from a centralized exchange to a DeFi lending protocol for this wallet, a data point traders track when monitoring exchange supply and DeFi collateral flows (source: @OnchainLens; Arkham).

According to @OnchainLens, the whale borrowed an additional $90M USDT and bought 31,131 ETH (~$113M) on Binance, taking totals to 75,418 ETH (~$269.46M) purchased, 109,576 ETH (~$393M) supplied to Aave V3, and $190M USDT borrowed. According to @OnchainLens, these figures imply an on-chain LTV near 48% (190M debt vs 393M collateral) and an average Binance purchase price near $3,573 per ETH (269.46M divided by 75,418). According to @OnchainLens, the activity is tied to Arkham Intelligence explorer address 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, which consolidates the wallet’s transfers. Based on the sequence reported by @OnchainLens, the loop of borrowing USDT, buying ETH, and supplying ETH to Aave V3 indicates a leveraged long structure that traders can monitor for changes in collateral and debt levels via the linked Arkham address.

According to @OnchainLens, the ETH whale who previously borrowed 66K ETH to sell and later bought 257,543 ETH ($896M) during the dip appears to be rebuilding exposure, corroborated by Arkham wallet explorer data for address 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham, recent transactions include depositing 34,156 ETH ($120.3M) into Aave, borrowing $60M USDT and sending it to Binance, buying 23,500 ETH ($82.62M) and supplying it to Aave V3, borrowing $40M USDC and sending it to Binance, and buying 20,787 ETH ($73.81M) and supplying it to Aave V3 (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham, this sequence totals 78,443 ETH supplied as collateral on Aave V3 and $100M in stablecoins moved to Binance, aligning with @OnchainLens’s characterization that the wallet is building its position again (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c). According to @OnchainLens and Arkham, the prior accumulation of 257,543 ETH ($896M) provides scale context for traders assessing order book liquidity and potential flow impact from this ongoing activity (intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c).

According to @OnchainLens, an entity supplied $610.2M USDC on Aave V3 to borrow 66,000 ETH and transferred the ETH to Binance when ETH traded at $4,032 (source: @OnchainLens). According to @OnchainLens, over the past two days the whale repaid 64,043 ETH valued at $231.37M at a price of $3,613 (source: @OnchainLens). According to @OnchainLens, the entity still owes 2,022 ETH worth $7.05M (source: @OnchainLens). According to @OnchainLens, the short position has yielded a realized profit of $26.9M (source: @OnchainLens). According to @OnchainLens, related wallets include 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, 0x85e05C10dB73499fbDeCAb0dfbB794a446feEeC8, and 0x6e9e81EfCC4CBff68eD04c4a90AeA33cB22c8c89 (source: @OnchainLens).

According to Onchain Lens, an entity supplied $610.2M USDC to Aave V3, borrowed 66,000 ETH, and sent the ETH to Binance, citing Nansen data. According to Onchain Lens, the same entity has now withdrawn 20,021 ETH (about $78.15M) back to wallet 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, with related activity tied to 0x85e05C10dB73499fbDeCAb0dfbB794a446feEeC8 and 0x6e9e81EfCC4CBff68eD04c4a90AeA33cB22c8c89, based on Nansen-tracked flows. According to Onchain Lens, ETH was around $4,032 when the 66,000 ETH was borrowed and is about $3,841 now, implying roughly a $12.6M mark-to-market difference on that notional. According to Onchain Lens, the 20,021 ETH withdrawal equals about 30.3% of the 66,000 ETH borrowed. According to Onchain Lens, the borrowed ETH notional at borrow time was approximately $266.1M, implying an initial collateral-to-debt ratio near 2.3x based on the $610.2M USDC supplied. According to Onchain Lens, traders can monitor addresses 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, 0x85e05C10dB73499fbDeCAb0dfbB794a446feEeC8, and 0x6e9e81EfCC4CBff68eD04c4a90AeA33cB22c8c89 for subsequent exchange inflows or outflows to assess liquidity shifts, with movements sourced from Nansen data cited by Onchain Lens.

According to @OnchainLens, three wallets attributed to a single unknown whale withdrew $610.2 million USDC from Binance about a week ago (source: @OnchainLens). The same source reports the USDC was supplied to Aave V3 to borrow 66,000 ETH valued at $266.09 million (source: @OnchainLens). According to @OnchainLens, the 66,000 ETH was then deposited back into Binance within the past 4 hours, increasing exchange-available ETH by that amount in a short window (source: @OnchainLens). Based on figures reported by @OnchainLens, the implied loan-to-value is approximately 43.6% ($266.09M of ETH against $610.2M of USDC) (source: @OnchainLens). Wallet addresses cited are 0x85e05C10dB73499fbDeCAb0dfbB794a446feEeC8, 0xE5C248D8d3F3871bD0f68E9C4743459C43BB4e4c, and 0x6e9e81EfCC4CBff68eD04c4a90AeA33cB22c8c89 (source: @OnchainLens).

According to @OnchainLens, a whale deposited 33 million USD into HyperLiquid, bought 7,311 ETH at 4,514 USD, and supplied the ETH to Aave V3 for lending, source: Onchain Lens on X. According to @OnchainLens, the entity now holds 38,275 ETH valued at 172.9 million USD and 35.18 WBTC valued at 4.34 million USD across multiple wallets, corroborated by the referenced addresses on hypurrscan.io and Arkham Intelligence, source: Onchain Lens on X; hypurrscan.io address 0xC7880fC94d88476c0df9272928645834E6F39854; Arkham address 0xd65FDb5EB1efD6A8859e619793d25C9357948568. According to @OnchainLens, the purchase size and price imply approximately 33.0 million USD deployed (7,311 x 4,514), aligning with the reported deposit size and confirming net long ETH exposure of 7,311 ETH, source: calculation based on figures reported by Onchain Lens on X. Adding 7,311 ETH to Aave V3 increases ETH reserve liquidity, which mechanically reduces utilization and can lower variable borrow APRs and supply APYs if utilization declines under Aave’s interest rate model, source: Aave Protocol documentation docs.aave.com. Traders can monitor Aave V3 ETH reserve utilization and rate changes to assess funding conditions after this inflow, and verify positions via the cited hypurrscan.io and Arkham addresses, source: Aave app reserve overview app.aave.com; hypurrscan.io; Arkham Intelligence.

According to @AveryChing, Aave v3 has launched on the Aptos blockchain, marking its first non-EVM integration. This deployment leverages the Move programming language, offering traders faster transaction speeds, enhanced security, and real-time performance compared to traditional EVM-based networks. The Aptos integration could drive increased liquidity and trading activity on the Aave protocol, while also positioning Aptos as a key player in the DeFi ecosystem. Traders are encouraged to test the platform to experience the performance improvements and potential yield opportunities. Source: @AveryChing via Twitter, May 19, 2025.
