Yilihua's $1 Billion ETH Bottom-Fishing Timeline | Unrealized Loss of $143 Million


1. 2025.12.25 🗣️ Industry Leader Statement
- Yilihua posted on social media: Confirmed that $1 billion will continue to buy ETH on dips, stating that the current price is in the bottom range, expecting a major bull market in 2026, and unwilling to miss a thousands-of-dollars increase due to short-term volatility.
- Data at the same time: Its Trend Research built a position in ETH at an average price of $3,150, with an unrealized loss of $143 million.
2. Early November 2025 🛒 First Bottom-Fishing
- Yilihua's team began to buy ETH in batches at low prices, with an average entry price of about $3,400, initially purchasing approximately 400,000 ETH.
- Operational details: Borrowed 520 million USDT on Aave, used 1.5x leverage, betting on a short-term rebound of ETH.
3. November-December 2025 📈 Increased Position + Leverage
- ETH retraced to $3,150, the team added 245,000 ETH, increasing leverage to 2x, with total borrowing reaching 887 million USDT.
- On-chain tracking: Positions concentrated in Binance and Coinbase withdrawal addresses, with no large-scale reduction actions.
4. First Half of 2025 ✅ Classic Operations
- Completed the "ETH Bottom-Fishing - Escape Top Before 11/11" cycle, on-chain data shows profits of over $80 million after the top, accumulating funds for subsequent bottom-fishing.

- 🪙 Position size: 645,000 ETH, average cost $3,150
- 💰 Leverage scale: Borrowed 887 million USDT, 2x leverage operation
- 📉 Current unrealized loss: $143 million
- 🎯 Target expectation: ETH target price in 2026 to reach $10,000
- 💵 Reserve funds: $1 billion waiting to buy on dips

❓ Unrealized loss of $143 million, how risky is leverage?
With 2x leverage, if ETH falls below $2,800, the team will face margin call pressure, and in extreme cases, forced liquidation may occur.

❓ Will the 2026 bull market materialize?
Yilihua's core logic: ETH ecosystem upgrade + Federal Reserve rate cut cycle + improving fundamentals in the crypto market; market divergence: macro policy uncertainty, ETH hash rate competition may impact gains.
Do you think Yilihua's current bottom-fishing can replicate the profit myth of the first half of the year? Can ETH reach $10,000 in 2026? Share your thoughts in the comments!
