Whale Trader Borrowing ETH for Short Selling Starts Taking Profits, Repays 7,000 ETH and Makes Around $190,000
June 10 — On-chain analyst ai_9684xtpa reports a whale that previously shorted Ethereum (ETH) via borrowing is taking partial profits, according to monitoring. Between June 8 and 9, the wallet address in question amassed approximately $132 million in stablecoins on Aave, borrowed 35,000 ETH, and sold it at an average price of $1,672.
Two hours ago, the whale withdrew 7,000 ETH from Binance to repay its Aave loan. Using the earlier average selling price, this partial position has locked in around $190,000 in profits.
Currently, the address still holds roughly 28,000 ETH in outstanding borrowed funds left to repay, which forms its remaining short position. On-chain data shows the peak size of this borrowing-and-shorting cycle was about $58.5 million.

June 10 — The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing Tuesday focused on digital asset taxation, during which seven cryptocurrency tax bills introduced by Republican lawmakers were reviewed. Committee Chair Jason Smith argued that cryptocurrency is no longer a fleeting trend, stressing the need for Congress to establish a clear tax framework for the sector.
The bills up for discussion include implementing a tax exemption threshold for small crypto payments, deferring taxation on mining and staking rewards until the assets are sold, and applying the federal Wash Sale Rule to cryptocurrency transactions.
Some Democratic lawmakers at the hearing, however, were reluctant to advance the legislation quickly.

trade.xyz Responds to SPCX Pre-IPO Contract Pricing Mechanism: Not Dependent on Market Cap or Total Share Data
