On December 22, the on-chain whale address 0xb31, known as “BTC OG,” reduced unrealized losses on long positions to about $26.6 million from a peak of $76.15 million, according to BlockBeats citing Coinbob. The address controls roughly $744 million in Hyperliquid positions backed by $56.46 million in margin, including a $617 million 5x ETH long, after transferring $230 million from Binance in early December.
