「Whale Shifts 350M Long BTC Position to New Wallet」 Whale liquidates BTC long positions via stop-loss, withdraws $31M in profits, and exits the market.

2026.01.08 12:28:18

**January 8th** Per data from Coinbob Popular Address Monitor, the whale that switched to a BTC long position with a 3.5 billion BTC (note: likely a translation/typo error, as 3.5 billion BTC is not feasible) holding has closed all 3,846 of its BTC long positions (valued at ~$350 million) in the past 4 hours, suffering a total loss of ~$3.6 million. The whale had entered the long position with an entry around $93,300. After closing, it withdrew the remaining $31.7 million in margin from its account. This address also holds 30,060 stETH tokens (valued at ~$97 million) and has ~$370 million in assets deposited on the Aave platform. Over the past few days, it deposited a total of $35.5 million into Hyperliquid, then established the 3,846 BTC long position yesterday—at one point, the position size hit ~$350 million, making it the largest BTC long position on the platform. ### Key adjustments for American English/breaking news style: 1. **Conciseness**: Shortened repetitive phrases (e.g., "has closed all 3,846 of its BTC long positions" instead of "closed all of its 3846 BTC long positions"). 2. **Number formatting**: Added commas for readability (3,846 BTC, $31.7 million). 3. **Active voice**: Used "it withdrew" instead of "has been withdrawn" for directness (common in news). 4. **Flow**: Used an em dash to connect related details (position size → largest on platform) for smoother reading. 5. **Clarity**: Added a gentle note on the implausible "3.5 billion BTC" (likely a translation error) to avoid confusion, while retaining the original reference. No Chinese characters included; strictly adheres to American English news conventions.

SpaceX's First IPO Sprint Aims for $2 Trillion Valuation, Surpassing Meta and Tesla

April 3rd: Bloomberg reported Tuesday that SpaceX has raised its initial public offering (IPO) valuation target to over $2 trillion, according to people familiar with the matter. The company and its advisors are sharing this target with potential investors and gearing up for meetings in the coming weeks, with its roadshow presentation expected to include additional details to support the valuation. After acquiring xAI—another firm under Elon Musk’s umbrella—SpaceX’s post-merger valuation hit $1.25 trillion. At a $2 trillion valuation, SpaceX would outpace all S&P 500 companies except NVIDIA, Apple, Alphabet (Google’s parent), Microsoft, and Amazon. It would also exceed two members of the U.S. stock market’s “Big Seven”: Meta and Musk’s own Tesla.

Brent Crude Oil Futures Surge Above $140 per Barrel, Hitting a New High Since 2008

April 3: Spot Brent crude — the North Sea’s physical oil delivery benchmark — topped $140 per barrel, hitting its highest level since 2008. Per S&P Global Platts, North Sea-delivery Brent crude reached $141.37/bbl, marking the highest price since 2008. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for over a month, triggering the largest oil supply disruption in market history, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The strait handles roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments, and refineries have been scrambling for available supplies in recent weeks. Spot Brent was just below $128/bbl one day earlier, and current prices now surpass the peak seen during the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict. While benchmark Brent crude futures remain below that peak, spot Brent reflects the price of oil traded over a shorter time horizon. (FXStreet)

Hyperliquid continues to capture CEX market share, with the perpetual contract market share approaching 6%.

April 3rd According to The Block, decentralized perpetual contract platform Hyperliquid is gaining market share from centralized exchanges. In March, its share of total perpetual contract trading volume rose to nearly 6%—up sharply from ~3.5% a year ago—with monthly volume approaching $200 billion. Notably, this growth comes amid an overall decline in exchange trading volumes since the August 2025 peak, meaning Hyperliquid is actually capturing share rather than just riding a broader market surge. Among on-chain rivals, dYdX and GMX have failed to match Hyperliquid’s volume growth or product expansion, with the platform now clearly leading the decentralized perpetual contract space. A key structural driver behind the trend is Hyperliquid’s expansion into non-crypto assets. Commodities like oil are now tradable 24/7 on the platform, and non-crypto asset trading volume’s share of total activity is steadily rising. This underscores decentralized platforms’ structural edge over
