Trend Research Sells 404,000 ETH Amid Liquidation Concerns
The investment vehicle Trend Research has significantly reduced its Ethereum (ETH) holdings, liquidating approximately 404,000 ETH to meet loan obligations as prices approached critical liquidation thresholds. Data shows a drop in Aave Ethereum wrapped Ether (AETHWETH) from 651,170 ETH to 247,080 ETH within a week.
Trend Research transferred over 411,000 ETH to Binance during a volatile period where Ether's price fell nearly 30%. The firm utilized a high-leverage strategy, borrowing stablecoins against ETH collateral on Aave. This approach exposes them to liquidations between $1,698 and $1,562.
Jack Yi, founder of Liquid Capital and linked to Trend Research, remains bullish but acknowledged calling the crypto bottom too early. He plans to manage risk while awaiting market recovery.
This event highlights systemic risks in DeFi lending protocols during sharp market downturns.
