Whale Bets $43M on Ethereum recovery with 20x leveraged long!

Whale Bets $43M on Ethereum recovery with 20x leveraged long!

The post Whale Bets $43M on Ethereum recovery with 20x leveraged long! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways How risky is this whale’s ETH position? The whale faces liquidation at $3,311.7 with ETH currently trading around $3,400—just a 3.4% cushion. Why is this trade significant now? The fresh wallet and $43 million leveraged long come as Ethereum dropped 17% this week, and overall open interest declined. A crypto whale opened a massive $42.9 million leveraged long position on Ethereum today.  The trader deposited $2.43 million USDC into Hyperliquid and used 20x leverage to bet on 13,976 ETH, creating nearly $860 million in total exposure. On-chain tracker Lookonchain spotted the bold move. The whale created a fresh wallet specifically for this trade, suggesting high conviction in an ETH price recovery. Razor-thin liquidation margin The position carries extreme risk. ETH trades at approximately $3,429, while the liquidation price sits at $3,311.7. That leaves just a 3.4% cushion before the entire position gets wiped out. If Ethereum drops another $117, the exchange will automatically liquidate the position. The trader would lose the entire $2.43 million collateral in minutes. Betting against recent weakness The timing makes this trade especially notable. Ethereum dropped 17% over the past week, falling from nearly $4,000 to its current levels. Most traders backed away from leverage during the decline. This whale sees opportunity instead. The fresh wallet and immediate deployment of capital suggests the trader believes ETH has bottomed. The 20x leverage amplifies both potential gains and losses dramatically. Ethereum Open Interest shows declining leverage CryptoQuant data reveals that Ethereum’s total open interest across all exchanges is $18.9 billion. That’s down significantly from peaks above $33 billion in September but remains elevated compared to earlier in 2025. Source: CryptoQuant Declining open interest typically indicates traders closing leveraged positions. This whale’s new long position bucks that trend, adding fresh leverage as others retreat. High-stakes gamble At…

Filecoin Suddenly up 65% in Matter of Hours: Two Reasons

Filecoin Suddenly up 65% in Matter of Hours: Two Reasons

The post Filecoin Suddenly up 65% in Matter of Hours: Two Reasons appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Filecoin (FIL) exploded higher, posting massive gains in the last 24 hours. At press time, Filecoin was up 66.33% in the last 24 hours to $2.18, following Thursday’s explosive surge. FIL’s performance coincided with broader strength across the decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) sector, and comes as the broader crypto market largely traded in red.  Filecoin’s shift toward AI-driven storage needs, bolstered by proof-of-replication incentives, has contributed to positive sentiment around Filecoin. The launch of cross-chain data bridges and Proof of Data Possession (PDP) allows verifiable warm storage proofs on Filecoin, and in 2024, Filecoin appeared in FastCompany’s Next Big Things in Tech for improving how AI handles data. The year 2025 saw the Filecoin network expand into a verifiable, programmable, on-chain cloud of services.  .@FilFoundation and GSR Foundation support a cohort of projects that apply decentralized storage for public good. The new infographic outlines how this collaboration funds work in science, art, and human rights through verifiable data infrastructure. pic.twitter.com/ir4COLsnoP — Filecoin (@Filecoin) November 6, 2025 In September, the Filecoin Foundation announced one million cultural artifacts preserved on the Filecoin network, which highlights its growing utility in decentralized physical infrastructure networks. Filecoin secures breakout Filecoin started rising from a low of $1.298 on Nov. 5, following a price consolidation. During the Oct. 10 market flashcrash, Filecoin fell to a low of $0.48 before trading in a range of $1.29 to $1.79.  Filecoin would later exit its range trading in November’s first week as bulls breached above the daily MA 50 (currently at $1.91), which capped its price for a larger part of 2025.  FIL/USD Daily Chart, Courtesy: TradingView  The breakout initiated two days of explosive surging, with Filecoin rising from $1.32 to $2.39 from Nov. 6 to 7 alone.  Filecoin is currently up 40% in the last seven days.

Downtrends in BTC, ETH and SOL as risk returns to market

Downtrends in BTC, ETH and SOL as risk returns to market

The post Downtrends in BTC, ETH and SOL as risk returns to market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Happy Friday. It was another rough week for crypto markets, with nearly every sector registering negative returns and a handful of long-tail “stablecoins” losing their peg. Weakness prevails across the board, with all of our tracked indices posting negative returns over the past week, except for DePIN. This weakness comes as the majors BTC, ETH and SOL have established a daily and weekly downtrend, while equity indices have reversed ~3%-5% off their highs, adding risk back to the market. The selloff in equities has elevated the VIX to a level of 20. Within crypto, DePIN was the one sector of strength, up 2% on the week, while the Launchpad and Solana Ecosystem sectors were the hardest hit, down 15% and 27.6%, respectively.    Looking at the top winners within DePIN, AR and FIL account for a majority of the sector’s strength, trading up 60% and 31%, respectively.  The Solana Ecosystem names are among the hardest hit, with MPLX (-24%), RAY (-21%), and JTO (-19%) making the largest downside moves. JTO’s underperformance comes amid a recent $6 million Paradigm-led seed round for Harmonic, a team building a new block-building engine on Solana which may seek to compete with Jito’s established integrations. Interestingly, KMNO is the one name in the sector to hold positive, albeit slightly, at only +0.24% on the week.  In a bearish trend, it will be increasingly important to focus on the sectors of relative strength, or hold patient for oversold and discounted levels on fundamentally strong names with a clear growth path.

Grayscale’s Filecoin Bet Grows as FIL Price Rebounds

Grayscale’s Filecoin Bet Grows as FIL Price Rebounds

The post Grayscale’s Filecoin Bet Grows as FIL Price Rebounds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Filecoin (FIL), a leading cryptocurrency in the decentralized storage sector, is showing strong signs of recovery in November 2025. Although the price remains far below the peak of its previous cycle, market sentiment has clearly shifted. Investors are now focusing more on projects with real-world applications. What’s driving investors’ optimism about FIL’s future? Here are some notable points. Sponsored Sponsored Filecoin Trading Demand Surges in November Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized blockchain project designed to create an open data storage marketplace. It enables users to rent or lease storage capacity globally, eliminating the need for centralized providers like Google Drive, Amazon S3, or Dropbox. According to BeInCrypto data, Filecoin’s price surged nearly 60% during the first week of November, with 24-hour trading volume exceeding $1.4 billion. Filecoin Price & Volume. Source: Coinglass Historically, such high trading volumes have only occurred a few times in the past two years. Each time the volume exceeded $1 billion, it was followed by a strong price rally, as seen in February 2024 and December 2024. The return of billion-dollar daily trading volume in November reflects rising market activity and renewed investor interest. Market sentiment has also shifted dramatically. Investors are increasingly favoring projects with practical use cases that have survived multiple cycles. This trend explains the recent gains in altcoins such as Zcash (ZEC), Dash (DASH), and Internet Computer (ICP). “Look, Filecoin woke up after months of silence. Up more than fifty percent in twenty-four hours as DePIN and AI storage narratives collide. For years people dismissed it as outdated infrastructure, but the truth is AI needs storage that’s massive, decentralized, and fast. FIL was built for that before it was cool,” investor Justin Wu said.

While XRP Investors Wait for $5, Ozak AI Buyers Could See 800× Growth by 2028—Why the Flip Makes Sense

While XRP Investors Wait for $5, Ozak AI Buyers Could See 800× Growth by 2028—Why the Flip Makes Sense

The post While XRP Investors Wait for $5, Ozak AI Buyers Could See 800× Growth by 2028—Why the Flip Makes Sense appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Investors may consider flipping their XRP investments into Ozak AI because $OZ has a broader potential of generating a higher ROI. This stems from a projection that the utility token of Ozak AI could yield around 800x growth in the next 3 years, that is, by 2028. If flipped, investors could have a larger profit margin in their portfolios. The AI-powered crypto project is expected to double down on its developments. Current developments include implementing an integrated mechanism of AI & decentralization, practical utility of $OZ, and strategic alliances. Such a line-up has fetched 12x ROI and is all poised for the next jump of 1,000x – both from the initial value. Flipping into $OZ for Possible 800x Growth by 2028 The Ozak AI token started from $0.001 in presale phase 1, and has fetched 12x ROI to early investors. Those who are accumulating $OZ in Phase 7 at $0.014 are aiming for the potential return of 83x. This is considering the target price, set publicly, is $1. Following that, analysts expect $OZ to ride the 2026 crypto bull cycle, and then craft a path of its own for the projected 800x growth. For reference, this translates to $9.6 from the Phase 7 offer value. Ozak AI token growth is imminent for now. $OZ has been revised upwards 6 times, and will next be revised to $1 when presale ends. To put the flipping gains into perspective, consider an investment of $500. It accumulates 35,714.29 OZ tokens right now at $0.014. These will be worth $35,714 when the offer value reaches $1, and they will be worth $400,000 when it yields an ROI of 800x. For XRP, the base investment accumulates 190 tokens at $2.63 each. Their value will be around $950 when, if, XRP reaches $5. A jump from…
