Due to the valuation controversy surrounding Starknet yesterday, two major whales have already positioned themselves for a STRK short and partially took profits today.

BlockBeats News, January 15, according to monitoring by Hyperinsight, following Solana's official tweet yesterday stating that Starknet public chain has 8 daily active users and 10 daily transactions, yet a market cap of 1 billion USD, this statement quickly sparked controversy and discussion within the crypto community. Against this backdrop, a whale labeled as the "altcoin short leader" and another address starting with 0x023 both established STRK short positions with approximately 5x leverage. In the past few hours, both whales have partially closed their short positions to take profits. The average holding price for these operations was about $0.0897, with an overall return rate of approximately 15%.
