The 「BTC OG Insider Whale」 is an OG address that once held over 50,000 BTC and remained dormant for 8 years, later gradually switching some BTC to ETH. Its actions have been highly synchronized with Trump's remarks and U.S. policy trends. A few hours before the "10.11" crash, it laid out a $500 million BTC short position, earning nearly $100 million, which attracted market attention. BitForex CEO Garrett Jin stated that the address is associated with some of its clients.
