A major ETH holder just took a $18.8 million loss over two weeks, prompting an immediate portfolio rebalancing into gold. The whale executed a swift shift during the past 7 hours, deploying $14.58 million to acquire 3,299 XAUT (tokenized gold) at an average entry of $4,421 per unit. This move signals notable risk appetite changes among institutional players—abandoning Ethereum exposure after significant drawdowns to seek the stability of precious metals. The scale of this rotation ($14.58M in a single window) underscores growing caution in the crypto sector, even as ETH remains a core institutional holding.

The big whale spent 18.8 million and still went to buy gold, this mindset is really panicking.

Big whales are panicking now. Losing 18 million and still trying to buy the dip in gold? I think they can't hold on anymore.

Big whales are really scared. Losing 18.8 million in a month and a half, then rushing to buy gold? I really can't understand this mindset.
