A prominent BTC OG whale significantly reduced leveraged long positions totaling approximately $126 million over the past eight hours, incurring a realized loss of around $9.7 million, according to Coinbob's address tracking reported by BlockBeats on January 27. The whale, identified by the 0xcA0 address, withdrew $20 million in margin to Binance, bringing total open positions to $679 million with an unrealized loss of $49 million. Concurrently, on-chain data indicates the address borrowed $240 million in stablecoins on AAVE, accumulating 148,000 ETH, valued at $433 million, by aggressively adding spot ETH while reducing Hyperliquid perpetual contracts. BlockBeats noted that BitForex CEO Garrett Jin previously linked this address to a client who once held over 50,000 BTC dormant for eight years before diversifying into ETH.
