Wallet associated with Wintermute established approximately US$126 million in short positions in Hyperliquid
A wallet associated with Wintermute (Winter Fog) built short positions worth approximately US$126.25 million on the Hyperliquid platform. Among them, Ethereum (ETH) short positions reached US$46.92 million, making it its largest publicly exposed position. As major cryptocurrency prices trade below recent highs, this position structure has attracted market attention.
Position profile and unrealized gains
The total value of short positions currently held in the wallet is approximately US$126.25 million, tracked by Onchain Lens. Among them, Ethereum short positions accounted for the largest share, valued at approximately US$46.92 million;Solana (SOL) and HYPE both had positions exceeding US$10 million. As of the latest snapshot, these tracked positions have generated approximately $963,600 in unrealized profits.
CoinGecko data showed that Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and HYPE were all trading near or below their weekly highs on Monday. At the same time, the address's life-cycle profit and loss (PnL) was approximately $197.22 million.
Specific asset distribution
According to Onchain Lens, Ethereum accounted for the largest proportion of the portfolio, reaching US$46.92 million. Closely followed by Solana with a position of $11.3 million, while HYPE had a position of approximately $10.03 million. The rest makes up a total of $126.25 million, but Onchain Lens did not provide detailed breakdowns of each position in its latest post.
Market maker strategies and hedging demand
链上研究人员多次将地址0xecb63caa47c7c4e77f60f1ce858cf28dc2b82b00识别为与Wintermute相关的Hyperliquid钱包。然而,Wintermute尚未公开确认对该地址的所有权,也未说明当前头寸的具体目的。
此前对Wintermute关联的Hyperliquid空头账簿的分析发现,同一地址在8月份曾持有更大规模的看跌敞口,包括做空ETH、BTC、SOL、HYPE和XRP。历史数据显示,该地址在Hyperliquid市场上的活动频繁,使用数百个订单同时服务于买卖双方的做市账簿。分析指出,Wintermute关联的买单和卖单分布在数十种资产上,包括BTC、ETH、SOL和HYPE。在1月的快照中,其报价结构接近平衡,买单金额约为1.017亿美元,卖单金额约为9,720万美元。
因此,仅凭可见的空头头寸并不能确立Wintermute预期某资产价格下跌的观点。做市商可以使用永续合约来对冲现货库存、期权、客户流或在其他场所持有的敞口。
市场价格动态
当前的持仓情况出现在以太坊从9月初触及的2,800美元区域回落之际。CoinGecko数据显示,截至写作时,ETH交易价格约为2,644美元,低于其近期的2,800美元尝试水平。在涨势停滞后,以太坊已于9月23日跌破2,700美元。此次在2,800美元附近的拒绝反弹发生在代币创下数周新高之后,卖家随后将价格压低。
根据CoinGecko数据,比特币交易价格约为82,863美元,在过去24小时内下跌约2.4%。Solana价格为118.06美元,HYPE交易价格约为92.28美元。尽管经历最新回调,HYPE仍保持在近期记录区域附近。该代币在9月触及近98美元的价格后,一直在90美元以上交易。
近期HYPE国库购买和鲸鱼转账使大钱包活动受到关注。Hyperliquid Strategies在一笔披露的交易中购买了价值4,580万美元的494,200枚HYPE,而几位大型持有者开始解除质押代币。
头寸变化与市场解读
最新的1.2625亿美元数字低于该钱包的一些早期快照。9月20日,第三方报告将其空头敞口置于接近1.46亿美元的水平,其中ETH接近5,300万美元,BTC约2,670万美元,SOL约1,780万美元。到了9月23日,链上分析师CW表示,随着价格上涨,该钱包正在增加ETH、BTC和SOL的空头敞口,并对市场施加下行压力。然而,这种解释未经Wintermute确认,不应被视为做市商故意试图压低价格的证据。
追踪的头寸随时间推移双向变动。早期的钱包数据显示,在市场回调期间空头敞口减少,而在价格恢复后头寸再次增加。公开的Hyperliquid数据虽然使单个账户的头寸可见,但并未显示公司在其他地方持有的所有抵消性敞口。Wintermute在中枢交易所、去中心化场所和场外市场均有运营,因此其Hyperliquid头寸可能只是更大规模对冲账簿的一部分。
FTX与Alameda关联资金转移
报告的持仓情况紧随另一项涉及与FTX和Alameda Research关联钱包的大额以太坊转移。9月23日,区块链研究人员追踪到价值约6,500万美元的23,639枚ETH从一个与FTX和Alameda关联的地址转移到标记为属于Wintermute的钱包。更广泛的审查发现,六个关联钱包共转移了27,372枚ETH,当时价值约7,500万美元至Wintermute地址。区块链安全公司PeckShield标记了这笔最大的23,639枚ETH交易。
无论是Wintermute还是FTX破产财产信托局都未公开确认该转移代表立即出售。进入做市商的链上移动可以支持销售、场外执行、抵押品管理、对冲或其他交易功能。过去的FTX和Alameda与Wintermute的转移表明,与财产相关的钱包曾在之前的资产流动中使用过该做市商。例如,在2023年10月,FTX和Alameda地址将价值约1,000万美元的加密资产转移至Coinbase、Binance和与Wintermute关联的目的地。
因此,除非有进一步的钱包数据或披露建立转移以太币与衍生品敞口之间的直接联系,否则9月23日的ETH移动与最新的Hyperliquid空头快照是分开的事件。
