A group of well-known holders on a leading lending platform are actively trading. According to on-chain data tracking, these 7 entities currently hold approximately 596,800 ETH on the platform, and the story behind it is quite interesting.
Their operational logic is straightforward: they borrowed 193 million stablecoins and took advantage of the significant market correction from October to November last year to buy 49,287 ETH at an average price of $3,531. It looks like a classic dip-buying strategy. But reality is a bit harsh—the unrealized loss on this position has already reached $27.7 million.
Interestingly, this leveraged approach is not an isolated case. The same strategy is also employed by other major players, such as a research institution holding 651,300 ETH with a similar leverage approach. It seems many traders are betting on a bottom, but the market's reaction hasn't followed the expected script. This also reflects the current risks in the lending market—large leveraged positions have a considerable floating loss potential.

27.7 million loss, these big investors are really capable of losing so much. Leverage is truly a double-edged sword.

Haha, risking $27 million in losses and still claiming "buy the dip"—this is the price of betting on the bottom.
---
Leverage and borrowing coins again, ending up being educated by the market—typical smart money getting wrecked.
---
Do these big players really think they can catch the bottom? They got slapped in the face—hilarious.
---
Why do some people always think they can bet on the bottom? The market just loves to punish the smart.
---
Still floating with 596,800 ETH losses? The risk exposure of lending platforms is truly extreme.
---
Basically, the leverage dream is shattered—why are you all so greedy?
---
Classic case of buying the dip turning into buying at a high—what a irony.
---
I'm tired of these big players' moves; it's always the same story with different endings.
---
Refusing to learn lessons and still wanting to play with leverage—sooner or later, you'll have to pay up.
---
Seeing this $27.7 million loss makes me feel relieved—at least the market has some temper.

Haha, it's the same story of betting on the bottom, and in the end, still getting beaten down by the market.

Oh my, it's the same old buy-the-dip strategy, and it still ended in a crash
Betting on the bottom is really, it looks simple but it's full of traps
$27.7 million just gone, lending platforms are indeed risky
