BTC Dominance Rises by 4.4% in a Month, Whale with 13.5M Position Bets on BTC to Continue Outperforming Altcoins
May 8th — Per HyperInsight monitoring, a whale on Hyperliquid opened a 22x leveraged long position on BTC yesterday, with a position size of $6.37 million. The whale also simultaneously held short positions across multiple altcoins totaling roughly $7.14 million; their combined position size across both sides amounts to approximately $13.5 million. This suggests a potential long bet on BTC.D (BTC dominance), signaling confidence BTC will continue outperforming altcoins.
Notably, BTC dominance has climbed steadily over the past month, posting a nearly 4.4% gain. After breaching the 61% level for the third time the day prior, it hit a new high not seen since last November—before edging lower to 60.85% as of now.

Preview: US April Non-Farm Payrolls data will be released tonight at 8:30 PM, with the probability of a rate cut in June currently standing at 5.2%.
**US April Non-Farm Payrolls Data Release Tonight**
May 8 – The U.S. April non-farm payrolls report is set to hit at 20:30 UTC+8 tonight.
Economists forecast a 62,000 job gain—well below historical growth rates, but enough to keep the unemployment rate at a relatively low 4.3%. Year-over-year wage inflation is expected to rise from 3.5% to 3.8%.
Historically, monthly non-farm payroll gains below 100,000 have often signaled a weakening labor market and an economy on the brink of recession. That dynamic has shifted now: Federal Reserve official Lorie Logan stated publicly, “Currently, the labor market can reach supply-demand balance with roughly 30,000 monthly job additions.”
Per CME FedWatch data (ahead of tonight’s release), the probability the Fed holds rates steady through year-end is 72.6%. The chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed’s next meeting (June) stands at 5.2%.

Largest On-Chain ETH Long Position of 224 million Reaches Breakeven Point, Realizes $12.9 million Profit
May 8th
Per monitoring data from HyperInsight, on-chain metrics show the largest whale holding ETH long positions—affiliated with digital financial services firm BIT (formerly Matrixport)—with a $224.7 million holding, has returned near its cost basis.
The whale strategically allocated its position across four addresses on the Hyperliquid platform, holding a total of 99,000 ETH in long positions. These positions were significantly expanded on April 30, with roughly 18x leverage overall.
Using a fund-weighted average across the four addresses, the whale’s average entry price is approximately $2,270. Following a retracement in ETH prices, the whale saw roughly $12.9 million in unrealized gains erased over two days, and incurred a total funding fee loss of $350,000.
The addresses belong to BIT, which has repeatedly received transfers from within its ecosystem. Previously, the addresses held multi-million-dollar ETH long positions that generated over $50 million in profits.
