At midnight today, this address partially closed about $14.06 million in ETH long positions. Previously, from the night of December 7 to the morning of December 8, the BTC OG insider whale transferred $70 million from an exchange wallet to Hyperliquid and then opened a 5x leveraged ETH long position, marking the largest position opening in the past 30 days. Additionally, monitoring shows that on December 1, addresses associated with the BTC OG insider whale (0xf6f), (0xF74), and (0x411) cumulatively borrowed $220 million USDT from Aave and sent it to an exchange wallet, with the 0xf6f address having staked over 126,000 ETH in total. On that day, ETH hit a 10-day low of around $2,718 before continuing to rise. The BTC OG insider whale is a BTC OG address that had been dormant for 8 years and once held over 50,000 BTC. Its operations have repeatedly coincided with Trump’s statements and US policy trends. For example, hours before the sharp drop on October 11, it set up a $500 million BTC short position, earning nearly $100 million and attracting market attention. An exchange CEO, Garrett Jin, stated that this address is associated with some of their clients.

Jinse Finance reported that Bankr co-founder deployer posted on X, stating, "There is an issue of duplicate event data statistics on external data panels, while there is no fundamental error in Polymarket's trading volume data itself. Paradigm is actually using this as an excuse to deliberately smear a competitor—ultimately because Paradigm is an investor in Kalshi. In my view, this behavior is truly despicable and vile."
