During the holding period, it once experienced an unrealized loss of about $3.4 million. After market fluctuations turned it into a profit, the address chose to quickly close the position and exit.

Since October, its cumulative profit has exceeded $21 million. Recently, the address has been steadily transferring its substantial profits accumulated on Hyperliquid into interest-bearing markets. Currently, its total lending on AAVE has reached approximately $26.71 million.
