#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围【After losing 3.8 million, he surprisingly bought Ethereum with heavy funds】

A trading story has been trending this week. A top wallet address sold off its BTC long positions on the exchange this morning, incurring a stop-loss and shrinking the account by about $3.8 million.

But the plot quickly reversed.

Just after the loss was finalized, this address turned around and poured the remaining 31.7 million USDC into Ethereum. The method was quite professional—directly buying 10,000 ETH through OTC channels, completely avoiding the impact costs on the secondary market.

Now his holdings look like this:
- Total ETH: 40,000
- Current market value: approximately $127 million
- Average cost: $3,241 per ETH

What does this operation reveal?

**Stop-loss does not equal giving up**. Many see closing a position as bearish on Bitcoin, but it’s more likely a reallocation of assets. This guy’s conviction is still there; he just moved his chips from BTC to ETH.

**Institutional-level execution logic**. Why not buy on the spot market? OTC trading might have higher fees, but it avoids large buy orders crashing the market—this is standard for professional funds.

**Immediate position building shows firm judgment**. After the $31.7 million USDC stop-loss, he immediately invested it all, indicating his bullish outlook hasn’t changed—only the way he allocates his bets.

Top traders in the market are never error-free. Their real skill lies in—adjusting immediately after mistakes. Stopping losses corrects previous biases, but their confidence in the future market remains unshaken.

Still risking 3.8 million despite losing, is this guy truly steadfast in his faith or just a gambler's mentality? I can't tell the difference.

31.7 million USDC directly invested, now that's true confidence. Much more solid than those who just talk big and call for a drop every day.

Lost is lost, and I immediately bought ETH. Now that's professionalism. After stopping the loss, I directly invested 31.7 million. My faith hasn't changed, and that's tough.

Oh really, this is what I understand as "stop loss"—it's not about giving up, but switching to a different track and continuing to play.

Lost 3.8 million and turned around to invest in ETH. Now that's what you call a professional player. Most people would have already lost their composure.

Lost 3.8 million and then turned around to buy ETH. This mindset is incredible; it's really about stopping losses, not faith.

That's the difference between a gambler and a trader... risking 31.7 million even after losing, you must be very bullish on ETH.

This guy lost 3.8 million but still dares to invest over 30 million in ETH. His mental resilience is truly exceptional. If it were me, I would have run away long ago.
