「BTC OG Insider Whale」 Takes Profit on ETH Long Position, Locking in 9% Gain, with Peak Profit reduced by nearly $3 million

2025.12.09 09:36:33

**December 9 — Per Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring (via the Telegram channel Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring), the "BTC OG Insider Whale" (address 0xb31) partially closed its ETH long positions over the past 9 hours as ETH posted a minor dip. The whale cut its position by $14.06 million, locking in ~$304,000 in profits. Its current position size stands at ~$155 million, with unrealized gains shrinking from $6 million at yesterday’s high to $3.3 million. The average entry price is $3,048, and the liquidation price is $1,678.** **Earlier, between December 7 night and December 8 early morning, the whale transferred $70 million from a Binance wallet to Hyperliquid and opened a 5x-leveraged ETH long position — its biggest such position in nearly 30 days.** **On December 1, three associated addresses of the whale (0xf6f, 0xF74, 0x411) collectively borrowed $220 million in USDT from Aave and sent the funds to a Binance wallet. The 0xf6f address collateralized over 126,000 ETH that day, when ETH hit a 10-day low of ~$2,718 before rallying steadily.** **The "BTC OG Insider Whale" is a dormant address linked to early Bitcoin participants (OGs) that once held more than 50,000 BTC. Its trades have closely aligned with Trump’s statements and U.S. policy trends: just hours before the October 11 crash, it opened a $500 million BTC short position, raking in nearly $1 billion in profits — grabbing widespread market attention. BitForex CEO Garrett Jin noted the address is tied to some of the exchange’s clients.**

Drift Protocol: No Evidence of Mnemonic Theft, Highly Sophisticated Attack, Weeks-Long Preparation

April 2: Drift Protocol announced via Twitter that a threat actor executed a novel attack leveraging a durable nonce to gain unauthorized access, quickly seizing control of the Drift Security Council. The attack was highly sophisticated, prepared over several weeks, and involved pre-signed transactions for durable nonce accounts to delay execution. Ongoing investigation findings indicate the incident did not stem from vulnerabilities in Drift Protocol or its smart contracts; there is no evidence of mnemonic phrase theft. Instead, the attacker gained access through unauthorized or forged transaction approvals—potentially involving social engineering. The attack drained approximately $280 million in protocol funds. Affected assets include all borrowing, vault deposits, and trading funds. DSOL (assets not deposited in Drift, including those staked to Drift validators) and the insurance fund remain unaffected, with the latter tapped to provide protection. As a precaution, all rema
