A crypto trader tracked by Lookonchain has opened a fresh leveraged long position in Dogecoin, adding DOGE exposure alongside larger Bitcoin and Ethereum bets. The move matters because the wallet, identified as 0x152e, is described by the on-chain analytics account as a “smart whale” with $24.79 million in total profit.
According to Lookonchain, the trader moved aggressively across major crypto assets over a three-hour window, opening longs on Ethereum, Bitcoin and Dogecoin. The DOGE position totaled 19.47 million tokens, worth about $2.04 million, while the Ethereum and Bitcoin trades were substantially larger in dollar terms.
Dogecoin Draws $2 Million Long From ‘Smart Whale’
“Smart whale 0x152e, with $24.79M in total profit, is going long on ETH, BTC, and DOGE,” Lookonchain wrote on X. “Over the past 3 hours, he opened longs on 4,601 ETH ($9.82M), 118.2 BTC ($9.11M), and 19.47M DOGE ($2.04M). He also placed limit orders to keep adding to his BTC and ETH longs.”
The positioning suggests the trader is not making a single memecoin bet in isolation. DOGE appears to be part of a broader directional long setup across higher-liquidity crypto assets, led by Ethereum and Bitcoin. The Ethereum position, worth $9.82 million, was the largest of the three disclosed longs, followed closely by the $9.11 million Bitcoin position. Dogecoin accounted for the smallest new futures exposure, but still represented a notable $2 million-plus leveraged bet on the memecoin.
The additional limit orders are also important. Lookonchain said the whale had placed orders to continue adding to Bitcoin and Ethereum longs, indicating that the trader may be scaling into the position rather than treating the initial entries as a complete allocation. The post did not say whether similar add-on orders were placed for Dogecoin.
Beyond the new perpetual positions, the same wallet also holds sizable spot positions in Zcash and Hyperliquid’s HYPE token. Lookonchain said the trader holds 10,797 ZEC, worth about $6.14 million, with an unrealized gain of $3.5 million. The wallet also holds 114,547 HYPE, valued at $5.48 million, with an unrealized gain of $2.2 million.
Those spot holdings add context to the “smart whale” label. The wallet is not only showing realized or total profit, according to Lookonchain’s framing, but is also sitting on multi-million-dollar unrealized gains across separate spot positions. The new DOGE long therefore comes from an address that has already built profitable exposure elsewhere in the market.
Still, whale tracking has limits. On-chain position data can show what a wallet is doing, but not the trader’s full risk book, hedges, off-chain exposure or intended holding period. A large Dogecoin long from a profitable wallet may attract attention, but it does not by itself confirm a market-wide shift in DOGE demand.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.10429.
