Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】On January 15th, on-chain data shows that well-known investor Huang Licheng recently adjusted his main positions. His actions on ETH are the most critical—currently holding 9,320.13 ETH with 25x leverage, with a total value of approximately $31.4 million, an average entry price around $3,220.71, and an unrealized profit of $1.39 million.

Meanwhile, his layout on HYPE has shown a different trend. He is long 325,000 HYPE with 10x leverage, with an average entry price of $25.6, currently facing an unrealized loss of $95,000.

From the operational details, this round of adjustment reflects his optimism about ETH’s medium-term trend, but the loss-making position in HYPE exposes the risks of coin selection. High-leverage operations are often a double-edged sword in market volatility—profitable when gains are substantial, but the risk of liquidation increases once the market moves against the position. Such large position adjustments often become market focal points and serve as a reminder for individual investors to exercise extra caution when allocating leverage products.

ETH-0.65%

HYPE-1.18%

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this guy is really a gambler. One liquidation and it's gone. HYPE this time really underperformed; his coin selection still needs improvement. The higher the leverage, the greater the risk. It's already good if he can walk away unscathed this time. I'm optimistic about ETH, but losing $95,000 in unrealized losses must be really painful. That's why I never touch leverage above 10x; I can't afford to play. If I had known earlier, I would have followed his ETH position. HYPE, maybe not. High leverage ultimately just gives money to the exchanges, really. One unrealized profit of 1.39 million and one unrealized loss of 95,000—this market is just so surreal.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, are you really brave? One correction and you'll be eating dirt HYPE's unrealized loss of $95,000 is hilarious, this is the consequence of chasing hot topics High leverage makes profits feel amazing, but when you lose, you realize what despair truly is ETH is okay, but I'm just worried it might get liquidated in a sudden move Why do you keep chasing these air coins? Following the trend always ends in ashes By the way, this guy's coin selection and aesthetic are pretty average, HYPE is obviously a trap Leverage is truly a double-edged sword; when making money, you're invincible, but when losing, you vanish into thin air ETH position is somewhat acceptable, but the key is not to get flash-crashed This is probably the daily routine of big players; a $95,000 loss might just be a drop in the bucket for them If you keep this trading style, you'll eventually suffer a major loss sooner or later

Still daring to play with 25x leverage? All the small profits earned from ETH would be wiped out in a single correction. HYPE, this wave is completely the fate of choosing coins.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this courage is really unmatched. One reverse move and it’s all over. That $95,000 loss on HYPE... this is the true picture of high leverage. Choosing coins definitely carries high risk, but what’s even more frightening is the backlash from leverage. Being bullish on ETH is correct, but this bet is a bit aggressive.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this guy is really bold. One dip and he's liquidated. HYPE this trade was a bit of a loss, how did he choose the coin... Following big whales to copy trades doesn't always guarantee profit, everyone.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this guy is really daring. A single correction and he's wiped out... The unrealized loss of 95,000 on HYPE is even more incredible. --- Another one relying on leverage for speculation, you'll pay the tuition sooner or later. Just watch. --- Why is HYPE still going long? I've never seen this coin look good. --- While ETH is still making money, HYPE is crashing hard. This is what you call earning but actually earning nothing, brother. --- 25x? Crazy. One big bearish candle and it's time to go home for dinner. --- The coin selection skill is average. As for HYPE... I already sold out long ago. --- Contract trading expert crash site, HYPE is truly incredible.

25x leverage on ETH while sitting on HYPE bags underwater—empirically speaking, this is exactly the kind of asymmetric risk-taking that inevitably separates signal from noise. dude's basically printing money on one side and hemorrhaging on the other, classic whale behavior tbh
