The crypto whale that made $200 million from the US-China tariff-led crypto crash last month is now betting $55 million that Bitcoin and Ethereum will rise again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crypto analytics platform Arkham was one of the first to identify<\/a> the whale\u2019s new long positions in an X post on Monday, which comprise a $37 million Bitcoin long position and an $18 million Ether long position on the decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid.<\/p>\n

Referred to as the \u201cHyperunit whale,\u201d the trader recently became famous for making $200 million by successfully predicting the US-China tariff market crash<\/a> on Oct. 10. <\/p>\n

HyperUnit has also executed two more profitable shorts since then, which has prompted Arkham to ask whether they will \u201cGet it right for the FOURTH time in a row?\u201d<\/p>\n

The whale has been in the market for at least seven years, purchasing $850 million of Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) during the 2018 bear market and holding onto it until its value reached $10 billion. And they could be onto something. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin is currently trading at $106,598, while Ether is trading at $3,602. Bitcoin is down 15.5% from its all-time high, while Ether is down 27.3% from its record high.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently<\/a> in the \u201cFear\u201d zone with a score of 42 out of 100.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin OGs can\u2019t hodl forever; they have a \u201clife to live\u201d<\/h2>\n

Crypto asset manager Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said<\/a> OG whales have largely contributed to the recent market correction, explaining on Saturday that it can be \u201cemotionally taxing\u201d for these investors to stay in the market<\/a> after making a 100x or 1000x return.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve got life to live \/ it can be emotionally taxing to see $100M or 1\/3 of their wealth gone in a bear market, even if temporary. They plan to keep holding much \/ most.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
