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