On June 3rd, on-chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa) reports that a crypto whale entity which previously earned $44.61 million in profits from longing Ethereum (ETH) has fully liquidated those gains. According to related updates, four addresses tied to the same entity hold a combined long position of 120,000 ETH, with a total position size reaching $225 million. As of now, the group is sitting on an unrealized loss of $46.01 million. Their ETH liquidation range spans from $1,355.8 to $1,573.9, and their most vulnerable position is only $300 away from triggering liquidation. Earlier this morning, two of these involved addresses added $4.9 million in margin to avoid being liquidated.

June 3. This week, Bitcoin saw a panic-driven sell-off, falling more than 10% from its $74,000 peak at one point—pressured by concerns related to Strategy and outflows from AI-focused funds. The cryptocurrency has since retraced and is now consolidating within its annual low range. Notably, despite the price drop, Bitcoin’s perpetual futures open interest has paradoxically climbed to 784,400 contracts, near a historical high.

The offerings cover major commodities like gold, silver, crude oil, alongside popular U.S. stocks, Korean equities, and index ETFs. Nearly all these products see robust trading activity on Binance. As of press time, the top five actively traded varieties today are CTI Crude Oil, Gold, MRVL, Silver, and Micron. Twelve of these contracts boast daily trading volumes exceeding $100 million, while only nine register volumes under $1 million.
