On February 17, data from blockchain analytics platform OnchainLens revealed that a crypto whale with the address '0x15a4' had fully exited its short positions on Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), securing a profit of $1.575 million.

Despite this impressive gain, the whale had incurred significant losses from earlier trading activities, resulting in a net profit of only $85,272.

This development has once again drawn market attention to large-scale trading movements, highlighting the agility and impact that whale-level investors can have in the cryptocurrency space.
