A recent incident in the crypto world shook the community when a millionaire investor faced a loss of $222,000 after panic-selling a substantial amount of Aave during uncertain market conditions.
In the middle of October, a crypto wallet linked to the investor withdrew 20,527 Aave tokens worth over $3 million from Binance, when the market price of AAVE was $155. However, over the following weeks, AAVE struggled to gain momentum along with other cryptocurrencies.
While many investors choose to hold onto their assets in hopes of a price increase, this specific AAVE investor decided to sell off their holdings at a lower market price of $144 to cut losses, as reported by the on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain.
The move to sell at a low price was deemed a panic reaction by the investor, causing some community members to react with surprise. Despite the market reaching a high of $165.08 on October 15th, the current price of AAVE stands at $142.81.
Tesla, known for its investments in digital assets, continues to hold $184 million in cryptocurrencies according to its recent earnings report. The company initially acquired $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin in 2021 and has been closely monitoring its investments.
