It was another sharp drop for bitcoin earlier this morning when the asset plunged to its lowest level in over two weeks at under $64,500.<\/p>\n

Given the extent and speed of the crash<\/a>, the total value of wrecked positions skyrocketed within hours to almost $500 million. Within this timeframe, almost 140,000 traders were wrecked, according to data from CoinGlass. However, one case in particular raised a few eyebrows.<\/p>\n

An unknown whale was wrecked for $61.51 million in the past day during BTC\u2019s painful drop. The liquidation took place on HTX and involved the BTC\/USDT trading pair.<\/p>\n

Another whale that was hit during the dip was Machi Big Brother \u2013 the Taiwanese-American entrepreneur and former musician, whose real name is Jeffrey Huang.<\/p>\n

Data from Lookonchain shows that he was partially liquidated on his ETH position. CryptoPotato<\/em> reported<\/a> a few days ago that his entire crypto portfolio had fallen below $1 million, posting a loss of around $28 million.<\/p>\n

Although that amount has risen to over $28.8 million following the latest liquidation, he continues to build on his Ethereum longs, now holding 1,700 tokens, worth $3.2 million.<\/p>\n

ETH\u2019s price was rejected at $2,000 over the weekend and plunged to $1,850 for the first time since the February 6 crash, when it bottomed at $1,750.<\/p>\n

The market just crashed, and Machi(@machibigbrother<\/a>) was partly liquidated again.<\/p>\n

But he keeps adding to his $ETH<\/a> long position.<\/p>\n

He now holds 1,700 $ETH<\/a>($3.21M), with a liquidation price of $1,818.74.<\/p>\n

His total loss has passed $28.8M.https:\/\/t.co\/P6lglcgpyo<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/t9cEDpOzQ1<\/a><\/p>\n
