 <p class="is-style-lead">Whales have allegedly wiped out both long and short positions in TRB, causing the token’s price to plunge from $600 down to $135 in a matter of a few hours.</p>
 <p>On Jan. 1, TRB, the native token of Tellor, suffered a staggering 70% decline from its all-time high of $600 earlier in the day, according to CoinGecko data. The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="market" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/market.html">market</a> turmoil ensued after whales executed substantial <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="liquidations" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/liquidations.html">liquidations</a> of both long and short positions, as reported by crypto tracking service Spot On Chain.</p>

 <p>Notably, HTX (formerly Huobi) emerged as the largest dumper of TRB positions as of Dec. 31, with over $15 million in TRB shorts opened on the exchange. OKX and Binance followed, with $12.1 million and $6.69 million, respectively.
