The "BTC OG Insider Whale" is an OG address that once held over 50,000 BTC and remained dormant for 8 years, later exchanging some BTC for ETH. Its actions have been highly synchronized with Trump's statements and U.S. policy trends. Just hours before the "10.11" crash, it laid out a 500 million US dollar BTC short position and made nearly 100 million US dollars in profit, attracting market attention. BitForex CEO Garrett Jin stated that this address is associated with some of their clients.
