According to @OnchainLens, the '255 BTC Sold' whale fully closed prior ETH, BTC, and SOL long positions, flipped to short, and realized a $16.14M loss (source: @OnchainLens).

Based on @lookonchain figures, the implied entry is roughly $205 per SOL and the current value is about $138 per SOL, resulting in an unrealized loss of roughly $1.27M (source: @lookonchain). Using the reported rewards over five months, the implied staking yield is approximately 2.33% over the period, or about 5.6% annualized from the same data (source: @lookonchain).
