Large crypto traders continue opening sizable leveraged bets on Bitcoin and Ethereum, while Lookonchain reports a separate wallet initiating a $31 million ETH long position funded by recent USDC transfers and later partially liquidated.
On March 3, on-chain analyst Yu Jin opened a 550 BTC long position worth about $37.45 million and holds 120,000 ETH in long positions valued at roughly $240 million on Hyperliquid, bringing total exposure to around $277 million. The move reflects continued large-scale speculative trading by crypto whales. Separately, Lookonchain reported that trader 0xA5e4 opened a long position of 15,457 ETH valued at about $31 million. The wallet received 1.7 million USDC roughly 19 hours earlier and now holds 171,000 USDC after a partial liquidation, indicating active leveraged trading and risk management among large market participants.
