Cryptocurrency traders who recently increased their accounts from $125,000 to more than $43 million were nearly liquidated on Wednesday at $6.2 million after a brief drop in ether to the $4,000 level.
The liquidation was carried out with a decentralized exchange lipid, as ether (ETH) immersed in nearly $4,000 amid a wider market correction, highlighting volatility that could even be discouraged by experienced traders.
It reported on Monday that traders increased profits worth around $7 million after turning their $125,000 initial investment to more than $43 million at its peak.
“The legendary trader went to $ETH again for a long time, but was liquidated in a market crash and lost $6.22 million,” said blockchain data platform LookonChain on Wednesday’s X-Post. “Now only $771K remains. In just two days, it almost wiped out four months’ profits.”

Ether whales panic and were sold to market slump
Some whales have paniced and are selling millions of dollars of ETH during the current market slump.
According to LookonChain, three large whales are selling $147 million worth of ether, including $77 million sold for the wallet “0x1D8D,” $57 million sold for the wallet “0x5A8E,” and more than $12 million from the wallet “0x3684.”
Other well-versed traders view market modifications as an opportunity to purchase.
On Wednesday, a wallet labeled “0x159” (the top 100 traders tracked by Nansen) acquired $3.4 million worth of ether. In comparison, the ETH whale “0x929” purchased $3.16 million, while the whale wallet “0x5DC” acquired ETH worth $2.9 million, Nansen data shows.

The market slump has even stimulated the infamous radio-capital Expolotars Wallet to acquire $16.6 million worth of ether.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrency investors are drawing attention to the monetary policy speech of US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole held on Friday in Jackson Hole, according to Iliya Kalchev, a temporary analyst for digital asset platform Nexo.
“The next move from Crypto could be more central bank signals than charts,” an analyst told Cointelegraph.
