Summary

An on-chain analyst identified that a whale who entered a 25x leveraged long position on Ethereum (ETH) on October 12 has accrued $9.94 million in unrealized profit, doubling an initial margin of $9.5 million. The whale continues to hold an 18,960 ETH position for nearly three days without taking profits. This follows earlier activity where the same address moved large ETH amounts to Binance amid significant gains, signaling sustained high-risk trading behavior.
