The crypto world is reeling after on-chain data confirmed that veteran investor Yi Lihua has officially "emptied his pockets." Once holding over 600,000 ETH, Lihua’s Trend Research fund was caught in a passive death spiral due to high-leverage "looping" on Aave. The Breakdown: The Mistake: Using ETH as collateral to borrow stablecoins and buy more ETH. When ETH dropped from its highs, his "health factor" collapsed. The Exit: Over the last week, he liquidated his final 400,000 ETH to repay debts, realizing a staggering $700 million loss. Market Impact: While the selling pressure was heavy, many believe this "whale washout" is the final capitulation needed for a true market bottom. Leverage is a double-edged sword. Even the OGs aren't immune to the cycle. 🛡️ #ETH #CryptoNews #Ethereum #YiLihua
