Whale Jeffrey Huang Opens Massive 25x ETH Long — Bullish but Highly Risky

I note that BAYC whale and Taiwanese singer Jeffrey Huang opened a 25x leveraged ETH long of 11,545 ETH at $4,736.93, and a 5x HYPE long of 10,000 HYPE at $46.58, according to OnChainLens. He previously realized about $33.83M from ETH/HYPE longs.

He reportedly had an ETH short at $4,699.89 yesterday, so it looks like he took profit on a dip and rotated into aggressive long exposure.

I view this as a strong bullish conviction from an experienced whale, but the extreme leverage makes the positions highly risky and prone to rapid liquidation if volatility spikes.
