What Did Giant Altcoin Whales Do During Bitcoin’s Rise? Here Are Their Transactions

According to the data, a whale deposited 11.04 million USDC on the HyperLiquid exchange and purchased 2,584 ETH at $4,274.
Meanwhile, a famous PEPE whale sold 501 billion PEPE tokens to buy 1,112.37 ETH ($4.6 million) and 561,923 EIGEN tokens to buy 188.62 ETH ($819,000). He then converted these ETH to USDC, deposited 5.53 million USDC tokens on decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, and opened positions for ASTER (2x long) and XPL (3x long).
Another whale initiated a 3x leveraged long position in PUMP token by depositing 5 million USDC.
Meanwhile, the surge in Bitcoin's price has put short positions in a difficult position. A whale with the address 0x5D2F deposited 12 million USDC to hedge his 2,041 BTC ($241.8 million) short position. This move updated the new liquidation price to $123,410.
On the Ethereum side, some whales used the rise for profit-taking:

- An OTC whale 0xd8d0 sold 20,830 ETH ($98.3 million) on Wintermute.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
