Bitcoin tanked from $87,000 to under $81,000 in just a few days and dragged almost all altcoins with it. As typically happens, those with over-leveraged positions got the worst of it, as the excessive open interest was attributed to the quick price moves.<\/p>\n
Lookonchain highlighted several large positions caught in the volatility, including an Ethereum whale that lost almost $70 million and AguilaTrades, whose trading return ended with losses on both sides.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin with the biggest whale caught in the net of the market crash. An anonymous trader with a massive long position of 28,716 ETH was wiped out during the crash, with the greenback equivalent of $69.69 million. What’s even more impressive is that the whale has not abandoned the bullish bet.<\/p>\n
According<\/a> to the on-chain resource, the trader subsequently opened another ETH long and now holds 78,955 ETH (worth over $195 million) in a fresh leveraged position. The new liquidation levels sit at just under $2,300. It’s worth noting that the altcoin tanked from over $2,700 to $2,400 before it rebounded by around a grand and now sits at around $2,500.<\/p>\n Machi (Machi Big Brother) has lost<\/a> $8.44 million over the past week, pushing his account value to under $1 million. As of press time, he still holds a 9,950 ETH long position worth over $24.6 million, with the liquidation price sitting at $2,431.<\/p>\n Lookonchain further updated on the return of AguilaTrades. After more than six months on the sidelines, the trader opened a BTC long. However, he was caught by the market crash<\/a> as well and closed the position at a $331,000 loss. He changed his mind and opened a 40x short on 200 BTC worth roughly $16.35 million.<\/p>\n The market, though, flipped the script. Shortly after he turned bearish, the short position was wrecked<\/a>, leaving him caught on the wrong side of both market moves. The latest update from the analytics resource indicated that his total losses for the day stand at $545,000.<\/p>\n AguilaTrades(@AguilaTrades) returned to trading after more than 6 months of inactivity, only to get liquidated and lose $545K in just one day.<\/p>\n Poor guy! \u2014 Lookonchain (@lookonchain) October 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post One Whale Lost Nearly $70M in ETH – Another Got Wrecked Long and Short<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\nAguilaTrades’ Unsuccessful Return<\/h2>\n
