On January 6th, a large whale was frequently active on the HyperLiquid platform, first depositing 12.5 million USDC and purchasing 10,152.8 HYPE, then staking it and posting a long position of 3,500 Ethereum, demonstrating a strong bullish outlook on the market.

【Blockchain Rhythm】On January 6th, on-chain monitoring data showed a large whale activity on the HyperLiquid platform.

First, it quickly deposited 12.5 million USDC, then swept up 10,152.8 HYPE tokens, roughly equivalent to $270,000. After acquiring HYPE, the whale immediately sent it to the staking contract—seems like a long-term hold.

What’s even more interesting is the subsequent operation. This whale placed a long position of 3,500 Ethereum within the price range of $3,190 to $3,215, with a total value of over $11 million. From deposit to deployment, the actions were swift and coordinated, clearly optimistic about the market. Such a large order is obviously the work of a professional institution.

HYPE3,39%

ETH0,48%

It's another whale accumulating, and every time this happens, I start to panic.

Institutions are moving, will you follow or not... --- 11 million USD worth of ETH longs, their courage is really big --- Whales are playing chess again, and we are still watching the game --- Staking HYPE with large longs, this is truly bullish --- Such seamless operations definitely have the flavor of institutions --- Charging 12.5 million USDC just to dump? No, looking at this rhythm, they want to pump the market --- Gambler's psychology vs. institutional moves, the difference is so big --- ETH keeps rising, I actually feel a bit anxious... --- HyperLiquid is about to stir again, right? --- Really daring to operate, I don't have that kind of courage

This wave of whale activity is indeed a bit crazy, throwing 11 million USD into ETH longs. This guy is really bullish.

Uh, this whale is really ruthless. The $11 million ETH long position was just wiped out like that.

12.5 million USDC entered the market all at once; this move's rhythm is incredible, clearly an institutional tactic. 3,500 ETH placed on the order book—how much confidence does that show... I can't quite grasp this level of resolve. Staking HYPE and then heavily investing in ETH; the asset allocation is interesting, but is the private key management handled properly? That's the key point.

ngl this whale's playbook reeks of serious institutional conviction... staking HYPE while running that eth long? that's not retail desperation, that's calculated network effect positioning. most people don't understand the protocol sustainability angle here

ngl this whale probably got liquidated hard last cycle and came back angrier... respect the conviction tho, 11m eth long is either genius or copium on steroids lmao

With this move from the institution, throwing over a billion just like that, it feels like another price rally is coming.

Whales are at it again, with $11 million worth of ETH longs... Are they betting on a dip tomorrow?
