Ethereum (ETH) Whale Moves 135,283 ETH to Gemini; 9-Year Holder Could Realize $384M Profit From 2017 Accumulation
According to @ai_9684xtpa, a whale or institution controlling a 13-address cluster withdrew 353,483.67 ETH in 2017 and has moved 135,283.67 ETH in batches to Gemini deposit addresses over the past two days, citing an Arkham Intelligence entity page as evidence. According to @ai_9684xtpa, part of the stash hit exchanges nine years ago, and if the newly transferred ETH is sold around the referenced level near $2,908.2 with a stated cost basis of $68.32, the profit would be about $384 million with a return exceeding 4,156%. According to @ai_9684xtpa, the fresh deposits to Gemini from a long-term holder flag potential near-term exchange-side supply if executed. (Source) More from Ai 姨 01-27-2026 02:35 |

ETH Whale Moves From Hyperliquid to Aave: 148,000 ETH Deposited, $240M Borrowed, Health 1.49 and Liquidation at $1,954
According to @lookonchain, the wallet known as BitcoinOG (1011short) closed massive longs on Hyperliquid after roughly 50 days, incurring over $100M in losses and paying more than $8.2M in funding fees, then shifted to Aave to loop ETH longs.

2026 Year of the Vault: DeFi TVL to $15B+, RWA Vaults on Regulated Rails, Real BTC Yields
According to @julian2kwan, RWA vaults are set to surpass DeFi vault volumes as the Year of the Vault narrative accelerates in 2026, with DeFi vault TVL expanding from $6B to $15B+ and fintech frontends merging with DeFi backends to deliver 3-7% APY mainly in altcoins. Source: @julian2kwan. @julian2kwan separates two tracks: crypto-native DeFi vaults paying in crypto versus RWA vaults that bring tokenized fixed income on-chain for USD yields, noting the RWA addressable market is orders of magnitude larger. Source: @julian2kwan. @julian2kwan emphasizes institutions require regulated venues for RWAs, citing IxsFinance’s licenses and distribution integration with LINE as compliant rails that enable tokenized RWAs to power vaults with real BTC yields and bridge TradFi and crypto.

RWA Vaults to Overtake DeFi in 2026: Julian Kwan Cites TVL Surge, Tokenized Fixed Income, BTC Yields, and Regulated Rails
According to @julian2kwan on X, 2026 is shaping up as the Year of the Vault, with DeFi vaults referenced as expanding from roughly $6B to $15B+ in TVL and delivering about 3 to 7 percent APY in altcoins, citing an Empire Podcast shared by @JasonYanowitz on X. According to @julian2kwan on X, there are two parallel tracks: DeFi vaults that run on-chain strategies for crypto-native assets with crypto-denominated yields, and RWA vaults that bring USD yields from tokenized fixed income on-chain, with the RWA addressable market described as orders of magnitude larger. According to @julian2kwan on X, institutional RWA flows require regulated venues rather than unregulated DeFi, and he cites IxsFinance licensing and integration with LINE for compliant distribution rails. According to @julian2kwan on X, tokenized RWAs can power vaults with real BTC yields, bridging traditional finance and crypto. According to @julian2kwan on X, traders should watch for RWA vault volumes to surpass DeFi vaults, implying a shift toward regulated RWA rails, USD yield products, and BTC-linked on-chain yield strategies if this thesis plays out.
