According to the data transmitted by the on-chain analysis platform Spot On Chain, a cryptocurrency whale took advantage of the recent rises and made a profit of $ 8.38 million by selling 5 altcoins. On June 12, when altcoins were at their local peak, Balina sold 40 thousand AAVE, 265 thousand XVS, 2.68 million MATIC, 799 thousand BLUR and 246 thousand ARB and transferred them to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This whale had previously managed to make a profit in the Pepe (PEPE) and Uniswap (UNI) processes. Thanks to these two altcoins alone, he made a profit of $11.4 million. The investor was among the prominent names, especially by making large purchases and waiting for the short term, thereby achieving high benefits.
Altcoin investors experience collateral loss
Curve DAO (CRV) token, which underlies the Curve Finance ecosystem, has lost more than 29% in value in the last 24 hours. This decline caused an investor to lose value in the collateral he used on the Fraxlend platform and lose millions of dollars. According to the Lookonchain platform, with the decrease in the CRV price, an investor liquidated 10.58 million CRV ($3.3 million) in Fraxlend.

It is estimated that the investor may be Curve DAO founder Michael Egorov. It is stated that Egorov received stablecoin debt from various DeFi platforms by using CRV as collateral and currently has a collateral of 111.87 million CRV ($33.87 million) and a debt of $20.6 million on four different platforms.
