#数字资产生态回暖 A large position liquidation event has once again played out on the chain, and interestingly, it exposes underlying risk management issues.

According to on-chain data, a major account's 3,875 ETH long position was forcibly liquidated—entry price $3,191, liquidation price $3,053, with a single loss exceeding $300,000. This is not an isolated incident. The same account's past performance is even more alarming: a weekly loss of $1.55 million, a monthly plunge of $6.31 million, and a cumulative loss of $20.62 million since October.

Rumors suggest this account used leverage of over 30x—such a configuration is indeed dangerous during periods of increased market volatility. High leverage can amplify gains in one-directional trends, but in volatile markets, it becomes a ticking time bomb. A drop of $138 is enough to trigger liquidation.

This phenomenon warrants deep reflection. Many traders focus on predicting market moves but neglect more fundamental aspects—position management. Large on-chain positions are easily tracked, which also means small retail investors may unknowingly become victims of "contagious explosions."

Regarding the current market situation, a few things are certain: leverage trading requires restraint, especially during high volatility; survival is more important than accurate prediction; on-chain data monitoring can help you detect risks in time.

It's the end of 2025, and some see this wave of liquidations as the final panic sell-off, while others see it as a signal that the bear market is beginning. Are you going to buy the dip or keep watching? It depends on your rational understanding of your own risk tolerance.

Playing with 30x leverage and getting liquidated, this guy directly gave us a real-life lesson... --- Losing over 20 million in a total wipeout and still going all-in, truly a gambler's mentality --- So, once the positions of on-chain whales are exposed, retail investors suffer too... This is what it feels like to be collectively liquidated --- Surviving is more important than making money, that hits hard --- 30x leverage is definitely a money printer in a bull market, but in a volatile market... that's playing with fire --- I just want to know if this guy is still adding to his position for the bottom or has completely given up --- Whether it's a fire sale or a bear market signal, I don't dare to hold heavy positions now... Risk awareness must be at its maximum --- Every time I see liquidation data like this, I get scared. Why do some people only learn to cut losses after being liquidated? --- The essence of leveraged trading is gambling; some people just get numb because they win the bet

30x leverage is really playing with fire, this guy lost 6.31 million in a month... can't keep a stable mindset --- Another high leverage position was liquidated, retail investors are still buying the dip, this story on the chain happens every week --- Position management is the key to survival, even if your prediction is right, a sudden plunge can wipe you out --- Loss of 20.62 million... this is the true picture of 30x leverage, it's still more reliable to stick to 1-3x --- Looking at this big investor's track record, I believe one thing — surviving is more important than making money

30x leverage... This guy is really risking his life, I feel sorry for those over 20 million USD. --- Position management is really underestimated, unfortunately 99% of people only think about getting rich overnight. --- Wait, is this guy still operating? Feels like he's about to pay school fees. --- The phrase "It's important to stay alive" hits the heart... but very few people can truly do it. --- On-chain data is so transparent, no wonder small investors get caught following the crowd. --- I just want to know how they dare to use 30x leverage, really brave. --- Instead of predicting ups and downs, it's better to carefully calculate how much you could lose—that's the right way. --- Another chosen one explodes... The market always cycles like this. --- Bottom-fishing or observing, honestly, who dares to be sure now. --- Leverage is like poison, you brag when you make money, and vanish into thin air when you lose.

Is 30x leverage a blowout? Deserved. This is the fun of on-chain tracking of big players... --- Over 20 million in losses, this is truly gambling, not trading. --- Small retail investors, wake up, don’t follow the positions of big players, you’ll easily be led astray. --- Leverage is just poison; so many people have fallen victim to it... --- $138 can be liquidated? This risk management is truly outrageous. --- Who understands the feeling of a cascade explosion? I am that retail investor who got trapped. --- Instead of trying to predict rises and falls, it’s better to learn how to survive, that’s not wrong. --- Bottom fishing or waiting and seeing? I choose to wait and see, anyway it’s not my money that’s lost. --- Using 30x leverage in a volatile market is basically courting death, an inevitable outcome.

30x leverage? What was this guy thinking, playing with fire ends like this --- Another liquidation news, can we get something different --- Over 20 million in losses, I'm done... Better to just stick to spot trading honestly --- Surviving is more important than making money, this is truly not a joke --- Small retail investors fear being dragged down by big players the most, so true --- $138 can trigger liquidation? That big brother sure has guts --- Leveraged trading is gambling, don't fool yourself --- Tracking on-chain data to monitor risk, this trick is indeed useful --- Bottom fishing or watching from the sidelines... I choose to do nothing --- Playing with 30x leverage, liquidation is just a matter of time
