In the cryptocurrency market, profits can be enormous, but so can losses. The latest news comes from a whale who suffered significant losses in altcoins.
While Bitcoin (BTC) broke record after record in 2025, altcoins, in general, had a bad year. In this context, altcoin investors also suffered significant losses.
According to the Lookonchain report, the multimillion-dollar investment of a huge whale practically disappeared.
As a result, a huge whale who invested $23 million in 6 altcoins finally gave up and sold everything for only $2.58 million.
This resulted in a loss of $20.43 million (-88.77%).
Consequently, investments were made in the following altcoins: FAI ($10.6 million), AIXBT ($9.3 million), BOTTO ($1.1 million), POLY ($850,000), NFTXBT ($600,000) and MAICRO ($425,000).
Individuals or organizations that invested a total of $23 million in these 6 altcoins during the summer months have given up during the recent declines.
The giant whale, who sold all his altcoins, suffered a loss of $20.4 million. After the sale, he was left with only $2.5 million.
This might be one of the worst investments ever.
