Ethereum Whale Loses $4 Million Amid Market Downturn
An Ethereum whale recently experienced a significant loss of nearly $4 million after purchasing 8,825 ETH shortly before the market took a downturn, according to data from the crypto tracking platform Lookonchain.
The whale acquired the Ethereum stash for $27.96 million, averaging $3,169 per ETH, between July 27th and August 3rd through Binance. However, following a market drop on August 4th, the value of Ethereum declined sharply.
On Monday, the whale transferred the entire holding back to Binance, receiving $24 million, resulting in a loss of $3.96 million.
Lookonchain also observed that institutions seemed to be offloading Ethereum on the same day.

How will Besant "buy back US Treasuries"? The first clues may emerge tonight
At 11 p.m. Beijing time tonight, the U.S. Treasury will announce the size of its long-term bond repurchase operations. This is the first disclosure since the August 19 announcement that repurchases would “at least double.” The market expects the size to exceed $4 billion, with Morgan Stanley estimating an upper limit of around $10 billion, and Wrightson ICAP considering $5–6 billion as a reasonable starting point. The announcement will be made several hours before the 10-year Treasury auction, and a scale above or below expectations could trigger market volatility.
