Fact Check
The claim's core details are consistent across two fetched reports: PANews and Bitget News both state that a new wallet beginning with 0x01f sold 242 ETH and opened a 3,286.46 ETH short using 20x leverage, worth about $7 million. PANews explicitly cites an OnchainLens X post as the original link. However, because the OnchainLens post itself could not be fetched in this run, the evidence is corroborated but not fully verified from the primary source. No conflicting evidence was found in the gathered sources.
