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