Blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain says a crypto trader is looking at massive losses after one decentralized finance (DeFi) project underwent a severe correction.
According to Lookonchain, a crypto whale sold nearly 18 million Ethena (ENA), a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum (ETH), for a loss of more than $12 million after the altcoin plunged below $1.
“A whale sold off all ENA and lost over $12 million! This whale unstaked 17.87 million ENA ($8.78 million) [on Monday] and deposited it to Binance. The whale had accumulated these ENA on Binance at an average price of $1.17, resulting in a loss of over $12 million.”
ENA is trading for $0.4484 at time of writing, down 4.6% in the last 24 hours.
Next up, Lookonchain reports that crypto whales are buying up top altcoin Ethereum as its price chops around $2,600.
“It seems that whales are accumulating ETH!

US President Trump’s crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is also buying more ETH as well as layer-2 project Movement (MOVE), according to Lookonchain.
