BlockBeats News, February 3rd, according to Coinbob Popular Address Monitor, the former largest long whale on XPL on Hyperliquid (0x152) ambushed ASTER in the spot market 5 days ago and added to the position last night to go leveraged long. Its current 2x leveraged ASTER long position has increased to $5.55 million with an average price of $0.65, unrealized loss of $630,000 (-22%), liquidation price of $0.29, now the largest long on ASTER on Hyperliquid.

According to Arkham on-chain monitoring, the whale's on-chain domain is "neoyokio.eth", and its associated sub-address (0xfb5...) also synchronized to add to the position today, currently holding a 3x leveraged ASTER long position of approximately $1.85 million, with an average price of $0.56, liquidation price of $0.361, and the position has realized a slight floating profit. This sub-address has close fund flows with the main address, frequently engaging in swing trading on XPL and HYPE, with a historical win rate of over 80%.

The whale entered the scene on September 24th, averaging a 1x leveraged long position on XPL at $0.69 before a significant surge, with holdings reaching $20 million at one point, becoming the largest long on-chain during the main XPL uptrend, and later took profit by closing the position near $1.3, realizing a profit of approximately $16 million, at one time suspected of possessing insider XPL information. In addition, this address is also active in the Polymarket prediction market, currently holding positions in three markets.
