Cryptocurrency investor bets $ 749 million on the growth of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana

An anonymous investor with a portfolio of $ 11 billion opened long positions worth $ 749 million on the growth of three leading cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin BTC $90,191.06 Mezo Wrapped BTC 0.75% Market capitalization $48.33 million VOL. 24 hours $1.04 billion , Ethereum ETH $2,974.77 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) -0.21% Market capitalization $71.48 million VOL. 24 hours $0.72 billion , and Solana SOL $126.05 Binance-Peg SOL 1.19% Market capitalization $0.14 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.3 billion . The largest bet was on Ethereum: $ 598 million at $ 3147 with a liquidation level of $ 2143. The investor also invested $ 87.2 million in bitcoin with a target of $ 91,506 and $ 63.2 million in Solana with the expectation of growth to $ 130.1.

Analysts first noticed this participant in August, when he sold BTC for $ 2.59 billion and bought ETH for $ 2.2 billion. Before the market crash in October, the trader opened large-scale short positions worth $ 1.1 billion, which proved to be profitable. Currently, his loss on new longs is $ 49 million.

Other major players have also stepped up their purchases of Ethereum. According to Milk Road, since December 26, 2025, addresses with a balance of more than 1000 ETH have added $ 350 million to their reserves. Such wallets now control about 70% of the total supply of altcoin, a share that has been growing since the end of 2024.

The Nansen platform recorded that in just one week, 19 large addresses purchased Ethereum worth more than $ 7.4 million. Analysts believe this is evidence of an intensified phase of accumulation among smart money.

Former BitForex CEO Garrett Jean also predicts the growth of bitcoin and Ethereum in the near future. In his opinion, the behavior of key players in the market signals preparations for a new stage of the bullish trend in 2026.
