Ethereum Whale Liquidated for 106 Million as ETH Crashes 10%

by

  • An Ethereum whale’s 67,570 ETH were liquidated for $106 million on Maker as ETH fell 10%, dropping from $1,800 to $1,500 in hours.
  • Despite the downturn, whales like “7 Siblings” took advantage of the dip, purchasing 24,817 ETH, raising their holdings to $1.9 billion.
  • While retail investors panicked, whales accumulated 130,000 ETH, signaling a strategic approach amid the volatility.

An Ethereum whale suffered a staggering $106 million liquidation on Maker over the weekend as ETH prices sharply corrected by over 10%, plunging from above $1,800 to around $1,500 in a matter of hours. The liquidation, which involved 67,570 ETH, was reported by on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain.

The sudden downturn caught many investors off guard and triggered widespread panic selling across the market. According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin fell below the $78,000 mark, breaking a key psychological support level. The dip was largely attributed to renewed macroeconomic concerns, including fresh trade tensions following aggressive tariff announcements from former President Trump an unexpected geopolitical move that rattled both traditional and crypto markets.

The ripple effect extended beyond Ethereum and Bitcoin, dragging down the broader crypto market. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization shrank by approximately 8%, falling to $2.6 trillion. Leading altcoins mirrored the downturn:

XRP plunged 10%, slipping below $1.90; BNB declined by 5%, now hovering around $562; and Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano each shed about 11%. Even TRON, which was relatively more resilient, still dipped by 2%, underscoring the widespread nature of the correction.

As the selloff intensified, the ETH/BTC pair dropped to 0.021, hitting its lowest level since March 2020. The decoupling from Bitcoin performance raised concerns about Ethereum’s relative strength in a bear-driven market.

7 Siblings Whale Down 64M on Ethereum

On-chain activity reflected the stress among investors. In a separate instance, Lookonchain also reported another investor who panic-sold 14,014 ETH worth roughly $22 million in a single evening.

Lookonchain reported not all whales are retreating. Some are using the market dip as a buying opportunity. A prominent whale wallet known as “7 Siblings” made headlines after purchasing 24,817 ETH (valued at around $42 million) during the sell-off, increasing their total Ethereum holdings to over 1.2 million ETH a stash currently worth approximately $1.9 billion.

The wallet has been consistently accumulating ETH since early February, having spent around $230 million to purchase 103,543 ETH in that time. However, based on current market prices, their position is sitting at a paper loss of $64 million a testament to the high-stakes strategies whales employ in volatile conditions.

Whales Accumulate 130,000 Ethereum as Price Drops

Data from blockchain intelligence firm IntoTheBlock showed that whales collectively accumulated 130,000 ETH last Thursday alone, when ETH first dropped below $1,800 in reaction to the tariff news. This suggests that while retail investors may be spooked by short-term price action, larger players are positioning themselves for longer-term gains.

While the latest correction has rattled markets and liquidated even some of the largest players, it has also reinforced a fundamental truth of the crypto landscape: volatility cuts both ways. As fear grips the market, savvy investors especially whales often seize the moment to double down.

Whether this strategy pays off remains to be seen, but for now, Ethereum continues to ride the turbulence, navigating one of its sharpest drawdowns of 2025.

Robert Kiyosaki Drops Bombshell Bitcoin Insight in Market Turmoil

by

  • Robert Kiyosaki warns that the market crash has arrived, confirming his earlier prediction of a massive financial collapse with a recession.
  • Kiyosaki advises shifting away from Wall Street investments like stocks and bonds and instead focusing on real assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin to protect wealth.
  • He highlights that the dollar is losing value, causing inflation, and urges people to prepare for rising costs by investing in assets that can’t be printed by governments, such as Bitcoin and precious metals.

As Wall Street reels from one of the biggest market crashes in recent history, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has stepped forward with a bold message: “I told you so.”

In a candid and urgent statement, Kiyosaki pointed to a prediction he made in his book Rich Dad’s Prophecy — warning of a massive stock market crash that would hit millions of investors, particularly Baby Boomers. That moment, he says, has now arrived.

Robert Kiyosaki Weighs in on the Bitcoin and Real Assets Case

For years, Kiyosaki has urged people to look beyond Wall Street and focus on real, tangible assets. Recently on X, he doubled down on that message , recommending gold, silver, and Bitcoin as safer stores of value.

“After this paper market crash wipes out millions of fake paper assets… the Fed and Treasury will likely turn the printing presses on full speed,” he warned, predicting a flood of newly printed dollars and rising inflation.

Like a fulfilling prophecy, early April came with a crash in Wall Street’s stock market prices, with the S&P 500 losing $5.4 trillion in just two days. The Magnificent 7, the seven biggest tech stocks (like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon), dropped 29% from their highest point, reaching their lowest level since a big market collapse in 2022.

As traditional markets tremble, Kiyosaki’s message is clear: look to assets the government can’t print and protect yourself from what he believes is a long-overdue financial reckoning. According to Kiyosaki, it’s not that gold, silver, or Bitcoin are rising in value — it’s that the dollar is losing value, making everything else more expensive, including food, housing, and energy.

He emphasized that Baby Boomers who are nearing or in retirement  are especially vulnerable, noting that they “are out of time” to invest long-term in traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and ETFs.
