a year ago


A large cryptocurrency investor, known as a 'whale', incurred substantial losses on most of his trades. This resulted from an unsuccessful strategy in trading altcoins.

Funds Withdrawal and Trading Strategy

According to Lookononchain's report, a whale withdrew 4,248 Solana worth $1.06 million from exchanges to trade altcoins. Over the past two days, the whale traded 13 different altcoins.

Altcoins and Trading Results

The investor gained a profit of only $231 in just one transaction — with the altcoin Ainti, while the rest of the trades ended in losses. The total loss was $892 thousand. The whale lost $456.4 thousand on ALON and $254.5 thousand on VINE. The portfolio includes altcoins ALON, VINE, YZİ, PASTERNAK, CAINAM, Napster, Test, Ainti, KENVA, AITRUTH, TMC, Listen, and Project89.

Overall Conclusion and Investor Implications

Despite large investments and active trading, the whale barely achieved any profit, highlighting the risks associated with investing in altcoins. This investment strategy required careful evaluation, and this case could serve as a lesson for other traders.

This investor's case demonstrates the importance of a cautious and informed approach to investing in cryptocurrencies, especially when trading less stable altcoins.
