“100% Win-Rate Whale” Faces $22.7M Loss After SOL Sell-Off
- The “100% win-rate whale” suffered $22.7M in unrealized losses after the latest sell-off.
- On-chain tracker ai 9684xtpa reported shrinking liquidation buffers in ETH and SOL.
- Institutional Solana firms like SOL Strategies remain active despite whale market losses.
After weeks of success, the so-called “100% win-rate whale” has finally taken a heavy blow due to market pressure. On November 3, 2025, on-chain tracker ai 9684xtpa revealed that the trader sold 30,678 SOL worth around $4.79 million, ending up with a $1.26 million loss.
Despite the setback, the whale still holds 358,602 SOL, 21,500 ETH, and 161,961 HYPE in leveraged positions, but the total unrealized losses have now grown to more than $22.74 million.
Whale’s Record Streak Dips Due to Market Volatility
The trader had previously built a perfect 14-trade winning streak, earning about $15.83 million in profits within just 20 days. However, the recent market swings have clearly shaken that record. However, as the broader crypto market declined, their leveraged positions began to come to light.
A larger liquidation had occurred hours earlier involving BTC, ETH, and SOL positions totaling $258 million, resulting in an additional $15.65 million realized loss. This reversal comes after weeks of high-margin trading. The whale still holds about $148 million in open trades, currently showing an $18.86 million loss, highlighting how unstable such strategies can be.
Liquidation Data
ai 9684xtpa reported that the whale’s safety margin has become dangerously thin. The tracker showed that the ETH position is only $161 away from being liquidated, while SOL has just $9 left before hitting that point. Even with this risk, the trader added another 78,724 SOL and 2,598 ETH after partially closing earlier trades, bringing the total exposure to almost $160 million.
This bold and risky move has drawn close attention from market trackers watching major whale wallets. The trader’s ongoing exposure includes ETH long positions totaling 39,000 ETH, 1,210 BTC, and 600,839 SOL, collectively valued at around $406 million before the latest dip. However, with entry prices at increased levels, including $3,845.33 for ETH and $197.47 for SOL, losses quickly mounted as prices fell.
The whale’s earlier BTC position of 1,210.02 BTC, worth about $133 million, was fully liquidated seven hours before the update, locking in an estimated $5.29 million loss. Following this move, ai 9684xtpa noted that another major investor reportedly opened new long positions, appearing to capitalize on the whale’s exit.

Solana Institutions Are Active
Despite the whale’s losses, institutional activity around Solana continues to grow. SOL Strategies recently disclosed in its October 2025 update that it deployed funds from a CAD $30 million raise to expand its validator network and treasury. The firm now holds 526,513 SOL worth about CAD $137 million, earning an annual yield of 6.68%, slightly higher than the network average of 6.45%.
SOL Global Investments Corp. announced in its third-quarter report that it is restructuring to focus solely on blockchain development on the Solana network. The company cleared non-Solana assets, cleaned up some debt with equity, and raised $3.6 million in a private sale to increase its blockchain operations.
It demonstrates that major investors continue to support Solana’s ecosystem despite steep market drops faced by short-term traders, and that staking rewards and activities by validators also remain steady on Solana.
Recent events have also highlighted that leveraged trading carries high risk. Analysts mentioned that using heavy margin, like the whale’s 10x SOL long positions, can easily turn profits into losses when markets swing.
The $22.7 million unrealized loss of the whale shows how even advanced traders have the possibility of huge setbacks within unstable markets. Although part of the SOL position was sold and BTC longs were closed, large leveraged bets are still open across ETH, SOL, and HYPE.
Meanwhile, institutional players like SOL Strategies and SOL Global keep increasing their Solana investments, showing a clear difference between retail speculation and structured, long-term blockchain investment.
