This operation is a sell-off of Hyperliquid contracts, with a significant increase in spot positions.
The "BTC OG Insider Whale" is an OG address that once held over 50,000 BTC dormant for 8 years and has since gradually switched some BTC to ETH. Its operations have been highly synchronized with Trump's remarks and U.S. policy trends.

BitForex CEO Garrett Jin has stated that this address is associated with some of their clients.
