According to on‑chain analytics platform Lookonchain, a major Bitcoin whale known as “BitcoinOG (1011short)” has continued to offload holdings following the October 11 market sell‑off, transferring a total of 5,252 BTC — valued at roughly $588 million USD — to exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, and Hyperliquid.

Data further indicates that the same address has expanded its short positions on the Hyperliquid derivatives platform to 2,100 BTC, worth about $228 million, suggesting a strongly bearish outlook on near‑term Bitcoin prices.

Analysts note that such coordinated sell‑side activity from large holders often adds to short‑term volatility and can trigger follow‑up liquidations in the derivatives market. This month’s decline in Bitcoin’s price from $122,000 to around $110,000 has already intensified market caution.

While the whale’s exact motives remain unclear, observers speculate the strategy could combine profit‑taking from earlier gains with leveraged downside bets. Lookonchain said it will continue to monitor on‑chain movements for further trends affecting BTC liquidity and market sentiment.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
