Following the intense market volatility experienced on September 7th, a large cryptocurrency holder known as a 'whale' took action and sold approximately 28,554 Ethereum (ETH) worth about $64.4 million. This move was aimed at fully settling their debt on the decentralized lending protocol Aave. However, due to unfavorable timing of the sale, the whale incurred losses exceeding $17 million. It is noteworthy that between December 18, 2023, and July 31, 2024, this whale had accumulated around 30,500 ETH, valued at approximately $28.5 million at that time. This incident once again reminds market participants that risks from market volatility always exist, and investors need to prudently manage their asset portfolios and financial decisions.
