A mysterious whale just took a major portfolio hit—down $18.8M on ETH holdings over two weeks. Instead of doubling down, the whale has made a striking move: pivoting hard into gold exposure through tokenized assets.
In just the past 7 hours, the whale deployed $14.58M to accumulate 3,299 XAUT tokens at an average price of $4,421 per unit. This isn't casual trading. The size and speed suggest a deliberate rebalancing away from volatile crypto positions into more stable, commodity-backed alternatives.
It's a telling shift. Whether this represents a hedge against crypto volatility or a broader risk-off sentiment, large holders moving into gold proxies often signals changing market temperament. Worth watching how this trend develops.

Big whales lost 18.8 million but still dare to switch tracks—are they being timid or smart? I really can't figure it out.

18.8M loss and still not running, instead going all in on gold... Is this big player's move a sign of backing down or playing 4D chess?

18.8M loss didn't scare it, so it bought gold with 14M? I can't quite understand this logic...

The big whale lost nearly 20 million but didn't dump, instead pushing XAUT... This guy has truly awakened. It seems that crypto players will ultimately have to face reality.

The big whale has run away... This is the true way of smart money. Losing 18.8 million and not adding to the position, but instead switching to gold—what does that indicate? The bottom hasn't arrived yet.
