Ai Yi says Binance account "Jason leo133" may belong to whale trader holding a $180 million BTC short

On July 22, BlockBeats reported that on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa) had flagged a Binance live futures account, “Jason leo133,” as a possible match for the well-known derivatives whale “Set 10 Big Goals First.” The assessment was based on the fact that the account’s recent profit-and-loss figures broadly matched trading information the whale had posted on social media. The latest data cited by Ai Yi shows the account is holding a short position of 2,741.71 BTC, with a position value of about $180 million. The reported average entry price stands at $65,970.9, and the account is currently showing an unrealized profit of roughly $1.155 million. The whale had previously said the account was originally set up as a unified margin account and that, after switching back to a classic account, some trading records showed discrepancies. According to that explanation, the inconsistencies may affect cumulative return figures as well as profit-and-loss statistics. Even so, the account’s profitability still ranks near the top of Binance’s live futures leaderboards over the past 7, 30, and 90 days.

Bubblemaps says SHIB whale has held 103 trillion tokens since 2020, position still worth over $2.5 billion

Blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps says a mysterious wallet cluster in the Shiba Inu ecosystem has held roughly 103 trillion SHIB since 2020 after building the position with 38 ETH, worth about $10,000 at the time. The firm said the stake once reached about $5 billion in value and is still worth more than $2.5 billion, with returns topping 21,000x. According to Bubblemaps, the whale first bought the tokens through wallet address 0x1406, accounting for about 10% of SHIB’s circulating supply at the time. The holdings were split across 14 addresses in November 2021, then spread across more wallets in later moves that the firm described as efforts to reduce on-chain visibility. Bubblemaps first disclosed the cluster in January 2023, later tracked a broader spread to new addresses in September 2023, and said the wallet count expanded to more than 170 addresses during SHIB’s rise in early 2024. The cluster still controls about 8.51% of SHIB’s circulating supply, and Bubblemaps said it has not seen signs of large-scale selling.
