Abstract generation in progress

【Chain News】Just noticed an interesting on-chain movement. A leading institution, Trend Research, has been continuously accumulating over the past 7 hours, adding a total of 27,598 ETH. The latest transaction was five minutes ago, withdrawing 6,748 ETH from an exchange (equivalent to approximately $19.77 million USD) and directly transferring it into Aave as collateral.

This move is quite intriguing. Currently, this institution’s total ETH holdings have reached 607,598 ETH, with a book value of about $1.77 billion USD. However, this figure doesn’t look very good—their average cost basis is around $3,111 USD, and at the current price, they are experiencing an unrealized loss of about $117 million USD.

The step of depositing ETH into Aave is somewhat thought-provoking. There are usually two possible reasons for such an operation: either preparing for subsequent lending strategies or simply a bullish long-term holding approach. Whales are still adding positions at this level, which might reveal something.

ETH-0.59%
AAVE-2.64%

Losing over 100 million and still aggressively adding positions, they must be very optimistic... or just stubbornly holding on.

Major players are all collateralizing on Aave. Are they borrowing USDC to dump the market or are they truly bearish...

Floating loss of 117 million still aggressively accumulating shares. Is this guy truly committed or just trapped with no way out?
