An interesting phenomenon: a large wallet just withdrew 162.69 WBTC from Aave 10 minutes ago, worth approximately $15.07 million. Even more interesting, it immediately used Cowswap to sell 27.1 WBTC and exchange it for 770.6 WETH, a transaction scale of $2.5 million. Based on the data, this doesn't seem like a simple rebalancing—there appears to be more actions brewing. Does this BTC to ETH conversion hint at market participants' optimism about Ethereum's recent performance? Or is it purely a risk hedging strategy? It's worth continuing to observe this wallet's subsequent movements.

WBTC-0,67%

BTC-0,67%

ETH-0,89%

Wow, such a move, $15.07 million just like that. I, a small retail investor, can only dream about it.

Sharpening the blade, what is the big player hinting at? Is ETH showing some action recently? Or are they trying to cut the leeks again? Waiting to see the follow-up, feels like something big is coming Something's off, this move is too rushed BTC to ETH? Looks like they’re not optimistic about Bitcoin

Here we go again, this kind of on-chain detective story... a big whale spent 2.7 million to buy ETH? Well, ETH is about to be hyped up again.

The big whale is causing trouble again, this rhythm... it's quite intriguing. --- 27 WBTC for 770 ETH? This ratio... is it a bet that Ethereum is about to take off? --- Something's off. This guy must know some inside information, otherwise why rush to withdraw from lending? --- A typical whale move, adjusting positions first and then waiting for the wind, there will definitely be follow-up later. --- Emm, dumping BTC for ETH, is it a sign of bearishness on Bitcoin or a strong confidence in Layer 2? Need to keep an eye on it. --- A scale of 15.07 million just casually operated? Luckily it's a top wallet; retail investors would have been liquidated already. --- A bit of anticipation. Wallets of this level usually have a story behind their moves. --- Such a big bet... if it's a reverse operation, it would be awkward, haha.

The Werewolf Game is back, and big players are starting to change chips. This pace is quite interesting.

Big whale causing trouble again, withdrawing 162 WBTC in one go, then immediately swapping out 27 for ETH. The pace... feels like they're strategizing.

The big players are at it again, dumping BTC into ETH... Are they trying to bottom out or do they have other plans?

Damn, 15 million USD just like that—this pace is a bit fierce. Clearly, someone is holding back a big move.

Big whale's move, I can't tell if it's bottoming out ETH or the last struggle before fleeing...
