<p class="is-style-lead">A whale with a history of profiting from previous crypto market movements has stocked up on 8.5 million USDT on Binance, intending to go long on ether (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>).</p>



<p>According to the on-chain expert investment analysis platform Lookonchain, a whale, who previously made more than $2.5 million from the depegging of the USDC stablecoin, exchanged 7,169 ETH valued at about $13 million for a similar amount of staked ether (stETH), which they deposited into Aave.</p>

<p>Per the transaction records, the whale then used the staked ether on <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/aave-v2-users-temporarily-unable-065639873.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aave</a> to borrow 8.45 million USDT, which they then proceeded to <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-ethereum-on-centralized-exchanges-at-multi-year-lows/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deposit</a> into Binance, a move Lookonchain posited would end in the whale buying ETH.</p>



<p>Lookonchain claims that, in total, the whale ended up depositing 28,755 stETH on Aave worth approximately $52 million and, in turn, borrowing 36 million USDT from the DeFi protocol.</p>

<p>The whale’s roundabout process ensures they can trade and go long on ETH using the Aave loan rather than their funds.</p>



<p>Coming from such a seasoned player in the crypto market, the move could be interpreted as the belief that the price of ETH is due for a lift in the coming days.</p>



<p>At the time of writing, ETH was changing hands at $1,816, with a 24-hour trading volume of about $6.5 billion, per <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CoinGecko</a>. While it represents a 2.15% drop from the previous day’s price, it’s a 0.52% bump across the last seven days.</p>

<p>ETH has largely demonstrated stability in its price movements in the last week, suggesting confidence and investor trust despite overall <a href="https://crypto.news/ethereum-dips-as-pepe-whales-take-profits/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market fluctuations</a>.</p>



<p>Many analysts still <a href="https://finbold.com/machine-learning-algorithm-sets-ethereum-price-for-june-1-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">predict</a> that ETH will hit the $2,000 mark soon. However, it must turn the $1,900 level into a support floor and avoid any <a href="https://crypto.news/ethereum-holders-are-at-loss-despite-the-bullish-spur/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">severe decline</a> in value.</p>



<p>Lookonchain is forecasting that the whale will liquidate their stETH deposits when the price of ETH may have dropped by at least 20% to $1,511. If that happens, it will result in about $9 million in losses for the whale.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
