The trader boosted his Ethereum long positions this morning and was reportedly holding 203,341 ETH, 1,000 BTC, and 250,000 Solana ahead of the US market open. The total position was valued at around $695 million at the time.
Crypto markets briefly rallied as US inflation cooled in November, pushing Bitcoin above $89,000 and Ethereum near $3,000, with other assets also posting strong gains.
However, the rally quickly lost momentum as traders turned cautious. Bitcoin was trading at around $85,166 at press time, per CoinGecko.
The sell-off has erased more than $100 million from the crypto market in the past ten hours. The total market capitalization has dropped below $3 trillion.
