Jump Trading, a major player in the cryptocurrency space, might be gearing up for a significant Ethereum sell-off.
Just an hour ago, the firm unstaked 17,049 ETH (valued at $46.5 million) from Lido and transferred the funds to the selling address “0xf58.” This move has sparked speculation that a large-scale sale could be on the horizon.
In addition to this, Jump Trading recently redeemed 21,394 wstETH (worth $68.7 million) into 25,156 stETH but did not immediately request an ETH withdrawal from Lido, breaking with previous patterns. This change in behavior has caught the attention of market watchers, as it could signal a strategic shift in how the firm manages its Ethereum holdings.
As it stands, Jump Trading still holds a substantial amount of Ethereum. Their portfolio includes 24,993 ETH (approximately $68.3 million) in the wallet address “0xf58” and 29,093 stETH (around $79.5 million) staked with Lido Finance. With such significant holdings, any move to sell could have considerable market implications.
Jump Trading may start selling more $ETH soon!
