According to ChainCatcher, on-chain analyst Ai Yi has flagged an Ethereum address that shorted ETH 20 times since July 27. Each of those trades carried 10x leverage, and the win rate came in at 80%. Over a 10-day stretch, the address booked $600,000 in profit. Half of its positions were held for only about one hour. The latest update shows that 10 minutes before the data was released, the same address opened a new short on 14,519.62 ETH. On the latest order, the notional value was computed at 14,519.62 ETH multiplied by the entry price of $1,874.2. That comes to roughly $27.21 million, matching the reported $27,210,000. The address has never opened a position below $3,000,000, and its largest trade reached $70,130,000. ChainCatcher said the monitoring data came from Ai Yi.
