Word on the street: a major crypto fund is gearing up for another $1 billion Ethereum purchase. Jack Yi from Trend Research flagged this incoming liquidity event and threw out a cautionary take—shorting ETH right now looks risky. The reasoning? With this scale of buy pressure potentially hitting the market, existing short positions could face real squeeze dynamics. Whether this materializes as expected or gets timed differently, the signal matters. Big money moves like this tend to ripple through derivatives markets, so traders holding bearish bets on Ethereum might want to recalibrate their risk.
