     according to MLM monitoring, an entity has been selling a large amount of ETH on Hyperliquid to repay its Aave loans in 11 wallets. The entity sold 31,700 ETH (worth $80.8 million) on the Hyperliquid platform in the past 5 hours, bringing the total sales over the past 4 days to 47,000 ETH (worth $120 million). It is reported that the entity deposited 49,600 ETH (worth $112 million) into the Aave account and borrowed $86 million USDC against it as collateral. However, due to the decline in ETH prices, the institution's position is close to liquidation, so it has to continue selling ETH to repay the debt and avoid being fully liquidated.
