Ethereum News Update: Anti-CZ Whale’s ETH Long Position Surpasses CZ’s Optimistic ASTER Move, Securing $100M in Profits
- Anti-CZ Whale shifts ETH position to long (32,802 ETH, $109M) after previously shorting ASTER/kPEPE tokens. - Whale's $100M gains stem from shorting ASTER ($21M profit) amid CZ's bullish ASTER purchases causing 20% price swings. - Strategy contrasts with CZ's long-term ASTER investment, highlighting crypto market fragmentation and volatility. - Whale's $109M ETH bet defies broader market decline (3.75%) while analysts praise its macroeconomic navigation skills.
A well-known crypto trader, referred to as the "Anti-CZ Whale," has recently changed its stance on
The Anti-CZ Whale’s ETH investment is part of a larger portfolio, which also includes short positions on 58.27 million ASTER (valued at $59.7 million) and 1.99 billion kPEPE (worth $11.3 million), as well as a long position in 130,566
The market’s response to CZ’s ASTER acquisition underscored the extreme price swings typical of crypto assets. Although ASTER initially soared to $1.26, it later slid to $0.84, wiping out gains for those holding long positions. The Anti-CZ Whale profited from this downturn, earning $21 million from ASTER shorts on Hyperliquid, as detailed in the Live Bitcoin News article. Crypto experts have commended the trader’s tactics, noting their effectiveness in managing both broad economic challenges and major incidents like the $120 million Balancer hack.
CZ explained that his ASTER purchase was motivated by a long-term investment perspective rather than short-term speculation, which differs from the whale’s assertive short-selling strategy. This contrast highlights the diverse and sometimes conflicting approaches within the crypto market, where individual traders may act independently of institutional or influencer trends. Despite a 3.75% market drop and rising fear levels reported by Live Bitcoin News, the Anti-CZ Whale’s $109 million ETH long position signals a strong belief in Ethereum’s future potential.
