According to Lookonchain, a whale who spent 3M USDC across two wallets to buy 750M PUMP in a public sale six months ago deposited the entire 750M PUMP to Hyperliquid about an hour before Lookonchain’s post on Jan 1, 2026 (source: Lookonchain on X). According to Lookonchain, the 750M PUMP deposit is valued at approximately $1.47M and selling the whole position would result in a $1.53M loss, or -51% versus cost (source: Lookonchain on X). According to Arkham Intel’s explorer, the wallets cited by Lookonchain can be traced, corroborating the addresses and token flow for the two funding wallets and the receiving account referenced (source: Arkham Intel explorer). Based on Lookonchain’s figures, the buyer’s approximate cost basis is $0.004 per PUMP (3,000,000 USDC divided by 750,000,000 PUMP), and the implied current valuation is about $0.00196 per PUMP from the $1.47M deposit value (source: Lookonchain on X).

According to @EmberCN, an ETH whale sold 7,818 ETH at 3,714 on Oct 17 after buying roughly 7,817 to 7,818 ETH at 4,159 on Oct 13, realizing about 3.473 million USD in losses, with the related wallets and flows viewable on Arkham Intelligence explorer. According to @EmberCN, the same wallet previously bought 8,637 ETH at a 4,402 average on Oct 2 and capitulated at 3,764 on Oct 11 for a 5.506 million USD realized loss, corroborated by the Arkham Intelligence explorer addresses cited. According to @EmberCN, across both rounds the wallet’s capital fell from 38.017 million DAI to 29.038 million DAI, totaling an 8.979 million USD drawdown based on on-chain data referenced on Arkham Intelligence.

According to Lookonchain, whale 0xc653 capitulated by closing a 1,200 BTC ($126M) long position on Hyperliquid approximately an hour ago, resulting in an $8.25M loss and withdrawal of all funds from the platform (source: Lookonchain, Twitter, May 30, 2025). Despite earning $1.95M in seven winning trades from May 21 to 27, this large-scale loss highlights increased volatility and risk management challenges in the Bitcoin derivatives market. Such significant whale activity can create short-term price pressure and impact liquidity on major exchanges, making it a crucial signal for crypto traders to monitor (source: hyperdash.info/trader/0xc653c).

According to Lookonchain, a major Ethereum whale capitulated by selling 7,000 ETH worth $16.88 million at a significant loss just one hour ago. The whale had previously withdrawn 13,479 ETH (valued at $48.82 million) from Binance between December 5, 2024, and January 13, 2025, at an average price of $3,622. The whale still holds 6,479 ETH, currently valued at $15.66 million, resulting in a total realized loss of $16.28 million. This large-scale liquidation underlines increasing selling pressure in the Ethereum market, signaling potential short-term downward volatility and heightened caution among large holders. Such whale capitulations often impact broader crypto sentiment and can trigger increased trading volumes and price fluctuations. (Source: Lookonchain, Twitter, May 19, 2025)

According to Lookonchain, a large investor sold 4 million $ai16z tokens at $0.26 each after holding for three months, realizing a loss of $1.92 million. This whale originally bought 6.51 million $ai16z at $0.57 for 18,000 $SOL ($3.68 million). Following the partial sale, the investor retains 2.51 million $ai16z (valued at $702,000). This capitulation suggests increased selling pressure and may signal further bearish sentiment for $ai16z in the near term. The event highlights significant volatility and potential downside risk, which active traders should closely monitor for potential short opportunities or to adjust risk management strategies.
