The position was opened at an average price of $76,919.58 and closed at $75,874.64. A second wallet followed shortly after the vote, shorting 30 BTC at $76,913 and closing at $75,780 for another $33.99K profit. The cloture motion failed 49–50, falling short of the 60 votes needed to advance. Following the vote, BTC fell from a local high near $79.9K to below $75K. AiCoin’s address activity and Best Trades records show how both positions were opened and closed around the event window.
