Alright, buckle up ā this oneās WILD.
Remember the wallet 0x9ee...1daAb? Yeah, that one.
The same mysterious player whoās been quietly betting against $ASTER for weeks.
Well, heās now sitting on a $53 MILLION SHORT POSITION over on Hyperliquid.
Thatās right ā 42.96 MILLION ASTER shorted at 3x LEVERAGE.
AVERAGE ENTRY PRICE: $1.20
CURRENT FLOATING LOSS: ~$159K
Barely a scratch for someone playing at this scale.
š£ WHEN DID HE DOUBLE DOWN?
Hereās where it gets crazy...
Just hours after CZās tweet lit up the entire timeline, this whale didnāt back down āHe DOUBLED DOWN.
He topped up $12 MILLION in USDC margin,
then dropped $24.5 MILLION worth of LIMIT SELL ORDERS between $1.34ā$1.39.

Itās like heās saying:
> āLet it pump. Iāll short it all the way up.ā
Genius hedging move? Or RECKLESS OVERCONFIDENCE?
Hard to say. But one thingās for sure ā THE CONVICTION IS UNDENIABLE.
āļø WHY IT MATTERS
This isnāt just another trader betting big.
Itās A WAR OF BELIEF AND TIMING.
On one side ā retail hype, CZās bullish tweet, and the sudden flood of long positions.
On the other ā a single whale with $53 MILLION saying,
> āI donāt care about the noise ā Iām here to fade the frenzy.ā
If $ASTER keeps pumping, liquidation levels could get hit ā
and thatās when things could turn NUCLEAR š„
But if the market cools down?
This whale might walk away with ONE OF THE CLEANEST SHORT WINS OF 2025.
Whether heās a MASTER STRATEGIST or just DEEP IN DENIAL,
the message is loud and clear:
> THE GAME IS PERSONAL NOW.
Whale vs. $ASTER ā
THE SHORT WAR EVERYONEāS WATCHING.
