Anonymous Crypto Whale Exits Bitcoin, Doubles Down on AAVE

Anonymous Crypto Whale Exits Bitcoin, Doubles Down on AAVE

An anonymous high-stakes crypto investor has caught the attention of on-chain analysts with a bold portfolio reshuffle—exiting a sizable Bitcoin position and doubling down on AAVE.

The activity, flagged by blockchain researcher Yu Jin, appears to reflect a long-term strategy centered on DeFi exposure.

The latest move saw the investor transferring $15 million in USDC to algorithmic market maker Wintermute, where they proceeded to buy 57,715 AAVE tokens at an average price of around $259.90.

This comes just one day after the same wallet sold 184.4 wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) for approximately $20.4 million via Wintermute’s over-the-counter (OTC) service.

According to data from DeBank, the wallet, which prefers to remain veiled, appears to be a long-term holder of AAVE, having previously bought 146,295 tokens at an average price of $137.50—suggesting an entry point sometime in March 2023.

Today’s purchase brings the whale’s total AAVE holdings to 224,010 tokens, currently valued at over $59 million.

At today’s price of $265 per AAVE, the investor is sitting on an unrealized profit of more than $26 million on their AAVE investment alone.

The wallet, which holds more than $59 million in total assets, shows a clear preference for AAVE and possibly decentralized finance as a whole.

The identity of the investor remains unknown, but the scale and strategy of the trades suggest an institutional player or veteran whale repositioning for long-term gains in the DeFi space.

With AAVE showing renewed strength and trading volumes climbing, market watchers are now closely tracking whether this whale continues to accumulate—or signals a larger trend among major players rotating into next-generation finance tokens.
