Crypto Whale News (9/16): 3 Whale Moves Today According to LookOnChain Data

Jakarta, Pintu News – Whale activity in the crypto market was in the spotlight again on September 16, 2025. Data from LookOnChain shows there were three major actions involving PUMP, Solana (SOL), and Hype (HYPE) tokens.

These movements reflect how large investors capitalize on market opportunities – from turning losses into profits, to unwinding positions with significant profits, to opening highly leveraged shorts.

Whale AA21BS Turns Loss into Profit on PUMP Token

Whale with address AA21BS managed to turn a loss of US$3.4 million (approx. IDR55.6 billion) into a profit of US$3.86 million (IDR63.1 billion) thanks to the PUMP token rally. Initially, he bought 250 million PUMP at a public sale for US$1 million (Rp16.3 billion), then added 962.38 million PUMP for US$5.16 million (Rp84.5 billion) at an average price of US$0.005363.

In the past five days, the whale sold around 1 billion PUMP worth US$8.25 million (IDR134.6 billion) at an average price of US$0.008225, and still holds 208.83 million PUMP worth US$1.77 million (IDR28.9 billion). His net profit now exceeds US$3.86 million, demonstrating an effective accumulation strategy when token prices are falling.

Whale HYPE Opens US$16 Million Short with 3x Leverage

The latest action comes from an early whale of Hype (HYPE) who previously made profits of more than US$50 million (approx. Rp818 billion). The whale with the address 0x7dac is now short 303,901 HYPE (about US$16 million or Rp262 billion) with 3x leverage.

This position demonstrates his belief that HYPE’s price may already be too high after a significant rally. With experience amassing large gains on the same token, this short move reflects both a hedging strategy and a profit opportunity in the event of a price correction. Large investors like this often use leverage to maximize returns amid dynamic market movements.
