According to @PeckShieldAlert, July 2025 saw approximately 17 major crypto hacks, leading to total losses of $142 million—a 27.2% increase from June’s $111.6 million. Notably, the GMX exploiter returned around $40.5 million in crypto assets, including 10,000 ETH and 10.5 million FRAX. These developments signal heightened security risks and volatility, directly impacting trader sentiment and the market value of assets like ETH and FRAX (Source: @PeckShieldAlert).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a prominent smart money address, which previously generated significant profits from 14.81 million USDe with $2.82 million in capital, is now facing a $12.48 million unrealized loss. The source indicates these losses stem from short-selling a basket of altcoins. This situation serves as a stark warning for traders, demonstrating that even a previously successful strategy like shorting can lead to substantial losses when met with a sharp market rally, quickly erasing prior gains. The trader reportedly employed a strategy of taking larger short positions on high-market-cap assets and smaller positions on lower-cap ones, which proved ineffective against the recent broad-based uptrend.

According to Lookonchain, AguilaTrades (@AguilaTrades) has nearly closed out all of his BTC long positions, incurring an additional $2.95 million loss, bringing his total losses to over $15.4 million in less than 10 days (source: x.com/lookonchain). This large-scale liquidation signals increased bearish pressure from major traders, which may influence short-term Bitcoin (BTC) price volatility and could trigger further risk-off sentiment among leveraged crypto traders.

According to Michael Saylor on Twitter, no one has ever lost money buying Bitcoin (source: @saylor, May 21, 2025). However, historical Bitcoin price data shows that short-term traders have experienced losses during high volatility periods, especially those who bought near all-time highs before downturns (source: CoinMarketCap historical data). For traders, it is crucial to recognize that while Bitcoin has appreciated significantly over the long term, timing and strategy remain essential to avoid realized losses. Monitoring entry points, market cycles, and risk management is vital for profitable trading, as proven by past bear markets impacting leveraged and short-term positions.

According to Lookonchain, two major whales collectively sold 765,128 TRUMP tokens, valued at $8.58 million, incurring a combined loss of $2.34 million just 5 hours ago. Wallet 3kjP9L, which previously gained $196,000 from TRUMP trades, sold 337,560 tokens for $3.81 million with a realized loss of $1.38 million. Similarly, wallet 7X6Vun, with a prior profit of $732,000 on TRUMP, sold 427,568 tokens for $4.77 million, taking a $961,000 loss. This significant sell-off by experienced traders signals increased bearish sentiment and could add downward pressure on $TRUMP price in the short term. Traders should closely monitor TRUMP volatility and whale movement for further trading opportunities. (Source: Lookonchain, Twitter, May 4, 2025)

According to Lookonchain, a whale has sold 274,188 SOL, valued at $29.64 million, over the past three days, averaging a sell price of $108 per SOL. This comes after the whale withdrew SOL from OKX seven months ago at $148 each, resulting in a significant loss of nearly $11 million. These large-scale transactions could influence the Solana market, prompting traders to closely monitor further whale activities and market responses.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a PEPE whale, known for a 100% success rate in swing trading, has increased their holdings despite incurring significant losses. Since initiating their position in June 2024, the whale has experienced a paper loss of $10.1 million, with their position size shrinking by 55.6%. Recently, they withdrew 4.64 billion PEPE tokens from Binance, increasing their total holdings to 1.134 trillion PEPE tokens, valued at approximately $8.8 million. The majority of these tokens, 1.048 trillion, were acquired since June last year at an average price of $0.00001735, according to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa).
