The whale who previously took advantage of XPL's major uptrend to earn over 16 million is once again accumulating, holding a total of 7.3 million dollars worth of ASTER in two addresses.

February 3, per data from Coinbob Popular Address Monitor: The former top long whale on Hyperliquid (address 0x152) ambushed ASTER in the spot market 5 days ago and re-leveraged into a long position last night. Its current 2x leveraged ASTER long position totals $5.55M, with an average entry price of $0.65, a floating loss of $630k (-22%), and a liquidation price of $0.29. Arkham on-chain monitoring shows the whale’s on-chain domain is neoyokio.eth. Its associated sub-address (0xfb5...) also leveraged up today, holding a 3x leveraged ASTER long position of ~$1.85M (avg $0.56, liquidation $0.361) with slight floating profit. This sub-address was previously closely linked to the main address via fund transfers, frequently swing traded XPL and HYPE, and has a historical win rate of over 80%. The whale also has a track record with XPL: It opened a 1x leveraged long at an average $0.69 before XPL’s sharp September 24 rally, with positions peaking at $20M (making it the top on-chain long during the uptrend). It closed the position around $1.3 for ~$16M in profit, sparking insider trading suspicions related to XPL. The address is also active on Polymarket’s prediction market and currently holds positions in three markets.
