A mysterious crypto trader has gone long on two popular cryptocurrencies ahead of President Donald Trump's executive order today.
Trump is expected to sign an executive order regarding state regulations on artificial intelligence (A) at 4:00 PM EST on Nov. 24.
AI and crypto are among Trump's top tech agendas. Notably, the president is considering allowing Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) to sell advanced AI chips to China, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently said.
Crypto whale bets long on millions of dollars
Ahead of Trump's executive order, a crypto trader opened long positions on Ethereum (ETH) and Zcash (ZEC) worth millions of dollars.
As per the onchain analytics platform Lookonchain, a crypto whale opened a 5 times leveraged long position on ETH and a 10 times leveraged long position on ZEC on Hyperliquid, the popular decentralized crypto trading platform.
Latest data shows that the whale has opened positions worth $32 million in ETH and $19.4 million in ZEC.
The trader is sitting on an unrealized profit of $1.5 million at the time of writing.
Ether is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin (BTC). The blockchain network has established itself as a prominent launchpad for decentralized applications (dApps).
Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Zcash introduced a breakthrough in privacy technology through the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), allowing transactions to be verified without revealing sender, receiver, or amount.
