【Blockchain Rhythms】That big whale known for shorting ZEC has recently taken new actions. On January 13, it continued to add to its short positions while betting on the decline of two popular cryptocurrencies.

Specifically, this short-selling expert used 10x leverage to short 52,919 UNI tokens, which at the current price amounts to an exposure of approximately $280,000. At the same time, it also shorted over 12.34 million WLFI tokens with 10x leverage, reaching a scale of $2.07 million. Currently, the account’s unrealized profit has exceeded $6.9 million.

This whale’s trading style has always been aggressive. Do you remember the recent ZEC rally? It started shorting at $184, with unrealized losses reaching as high as $21 million at one point, but it held on and eventually turned profitable. The UNI and WLFI short positions this time seem to be another big gamble.

The current market sentiment around such large short positions is worth paying attention to, as actions by whales often reflect certain market signals. Whether bullish or bearish, investors should review their own position strategies.

UNI4,55%

WLFI5,49%

ZEC-4,39%

On-chain data shows this guy is playing with fire again, going from a floating loss of 21 million ZEC to still being alive... Not easy. --- It’s worth noting that WLFI’s 12.34 million tokens are a bit outrageous. Based on contract changes, this brother is definitely betting on a system-wide collapse. --- Hmm... 6.9 million floating profit. My observation is that this aggressive style will eventually blow up. The wave of ZEC with a 21 million floating loss has already reached the limit. --- Shorting UNI and WLFI simultaneously? From the code, it looks like betting on the entire ecosystem’s decline. It’s a bit crazy. --- Late-night monitoring shows that this guy’s psychological resilience is truly top-tier. If it were me, I’d have run away long ago with a 21 million floating loss. --- Based on past experience, once such a large short position is triggered in the opposite direction, it’s a bloodbath. No surprises there. --- The interesting part is, why did he have to add to his position on January 13? Is there some market signal I missed? --- $280,000 UNI short + $2.07 million WLFI, this combo... What kind of drop are they betting on?

Laughing and then crying, this whale has started again, with a floating profit of 6.9 million, but I still can't understand where his courage comes from. ZEC held onto a floating loss of 21 million without fleeing, this guy is really not an ordinary person. Why have UNI and WLFI become his prey again? The entire market is tangled. A person's confidence is daring to gamble. I can only admire his mental toughness; if it were me, I would have surrendered long ago. This operation looks like gambling, but the data is right here—6.9 million floating profit is real. The meme king can only say one thing: it's absolutely incredible.

ngl, 10x leverage shorts right now? back in my mining days we'd call that "asking to get liquidated at 3am" lol. dude held through $21M underwater on ZEC tho... that's either genius or complete insanity, no middle ground. gas fees on that leverage though, ROI calculations show you're bleeding fees faster than network congestion during bull runs. scalability trilemma strikes again 💀
