Crypto Whales Are Dumping! LDO, AAVE, UNI & FXS Take a Hit

Since last week, Bitcoin has been trying to recover after dipping to $58,562. Although it nearly reached $63,976 on July 1, increased selling pressure and continued selling of Bitcoin by the German government forced its price back down to $60,490, reflecting a 3.6% drop.

On Wednesday, a prominent crypto whale or institutional investor sold millions of dollars worth of LDO, AAVE, UNI, and FXS at a loss, causing significant declines in the prices of these major tokens.

Whales Sell at a Loss, Market Feels the Chill

According to a report by the leading blockchain analytical platform Lookonchain, this whale or institution offloaded 3.13 million LDO tokens worth $5.77 million, 49,771 AAVE tokens worth $4.54 million, 269,177 UNI tokens worth $2.41 million, and 250,969 FXS tokens worth $708,000.

Despite these sales being made at a loss, the whale had previously spent over $73 million to buy Ethereum (ETH) and various tokens within the Ethereum ecosystem after the SEC approved form 19b-4 for an ETH ETF at the end of May. Even with the recent significant sell-off, the whale still holds 3.33 million LDO tokens worth $5.83 million and 31,191 AAVE tokens worth $2.8 million.

Profit and Loss Analysis

Despite the recent losses, the whale’s overall trading activities have yielded a total profit of $2.87 million. The breakdown of these figures shows a profit of $7.29 million on ETH, offset by losses of $3.23 million on LDO and $1.1 million on AAVE.

Token Prices Drop

As of now, the price of the Lido coin has seen a massive 12.4% drop & trading at $1.77. Along with this, the price of FXS tokens even saw a dip to $2.65 refelting a drop of 8.24%. 

Meanwhile, the Aave coin has seen a drop of 2.5% & currently hovering at $27.60 and the UNI token is trading at $8.82, reflecting a drop of 2% seen in the last 24 hours.
