Whale Moves 10M POL to Binance, Faces ~$400K Loss

This is a textbook deleveraging, not a directional bet: the whale repaid the Aave loan and pulled collateral before sending tokens to an exchange, which is what forced supply looks like when a leveraged position unwinds into a falling market. The scale matters less than the pattern — borrowing against POL to fund trading elsewhere magnifies losses when the collateral itself declines, and the transfer to Binance is the tell that the position is being closed rather than held. Whether other Aave-backed POL positions face similar pressure is the open question.
