【Chain News】An interesting on-chain movement has occurred. A large holder with a position worth $471 million has recently been adjusting their holdings.

Specifically, they increased their long positions in the three mainstream cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, and SOL. It seems this big investor still has quite a bit of confidence in the main assets.

But what’s interesting is that they are also cutting losses. Their FARTCOIN position was liquidated, resulting in a loss of $85,000. Immediately after, they opened a position in PUMP, but it didn’t last long and was also closed, incurring a loss of $138,000.

After two small altcoin trades, although there were some losses, the overall strategy of this big holder is quite clear — maintaining core positions in BTC/ETH/SOL while being more flexible with small altcoins for testing and adjustments. This risk management approach is worth pondering.

Big players' moves are really ruthless this time. Small coins were directly stopped out for over 200,000, replaced with stable allocations in mainstream coins... This is the right way to play with money, right?

Wow, this big player strategy is incredible. Losing over 200,000 on small coins without blinking, just to protect the core mainstream holdings. This is true risk management.

This move by the big players is actually telling us that mainstream coins are the way to go. Playing with small tokens is fine, but don't get too caught up.

Core deadlock of the mainstream three musketeers, small currencies acting as ATMs for trial and error, this is true risk management

This move by the big players is very clear-headed. They hold onto mainstream coins, treat small tokens as a casino, and consider losing over 200,000 as tuition. Honestly, there's no one else with this mindset.
