Wednesday. August 14 at 12:00 PM
1 min. readJump Trading, a market maker and trading firm, has transferred 17,049 Ether valued at around $46.44 million in anticipation of a potential sell-off. The Ether claimed from the liquid staking protocol Lido has been moved for sale, leaving Jump Trading with 21,394 ETH worth about $68.58 million. Despite concerns raised by Lookonchain about a sell-off, community responses and Arkham Intelligence data suggest otherwise. Recent transfers show Jump Trading preparing for trading activities rather than selling off. Reports of aggressive sell-offs by Jump Trading and Paradigm VC have raised market crash concerns, leading to investigations by the CFTC. The firm's recent movements include deposits to various exchanges, indicating a focus on liquidity provision for trading. Overall, the situation seems to be more about strategic trading moves rather than a massive sell-off as initially speculated.
