- Historical setup saw altcoins rally 10x, rewarding early participants.
A large crypto whale has shifted millions into decentralized trading platforms, drawing attention from analysts and traders. The move highlights rising confidence in altcoins as major wallets deploy capital across multiple tokens.
Whale Opens Leveraged Positions Across Assets
Wallet 0x4174 transferred $5.45 million in USDC into Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals exchange. According to blockchain data, the wallet quickly opened aggressive long positions.
The largest allocation went to Ethereum, where $14.28 million was placed at 20x leverage. Bitcoin followed with a $2.86 million long at 40x leverage.
Smaller positions were spread across altcoins. The whale committed $657,000 to HYPE at 10x leverage, $497,000 to Chainlink at 10x, and $486,000 to Aave at 10x. Maker also received a $185,000 allocation at 10x leverage.
Analyst Sees Liquidity Shift from Stablecoins
Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader highlighted a technical signal on the USDT dominance chart. He pointed to a clear double-top formation, with USDT.D now rolling over toward key support. Merlijn stated that once this level breaks, capital typically exits stablecoins and rotates into risk assets.
He referenced the last similar setup, during which altcoins delivered 10x returns for early participants. According to his analysis, a comparable phase may now be starting.
Merlijn described early market entrants as “legends,” while he suggested that latecomers or “tourists” tend to join after large gains are already made.
The analyst’s remarks align with the whale’s positioning, which indicates expectations for rising altcoin valuations. With both Ethereum and Bitcoin heavily backed, and mid-cap allocations established, the market is watching for confirmation of an upcoming altcoin season.
