An early Bitcoin investor nicknamed “1011short” has expanded an Ethereum long position to 120,094 ETH, valued at $392.5 million, on Hyperliquid, according to data tracked by Lookonchain.
The position faces liquidation at $2,234 per ETH. The trader has been actively trading Ethereum in recent months and recently bet on renewed upward momentum.
Ethereum was trading at around $3,260 at press time, down from its daily high of $3,400, per CoinGecko. The decline extended following the Fed’s decision to lower interest rates by 25 basis points.
Analysts suggest, however, that the pullback may reflect a sell-the-news reaction, given that markets had widely anticipated the rate cut.
