Ethereum Drops to $2,315 Two-Month Low as Liquidations Hit $293M and Wintermute Shorts ETH

Zubiqo Take
QuoteThreads

“When a major market maker has 86.4% of its $87.34M Hyperliquid book tilted short while ETFs bleed nearly $130M in a day, overleveraged long traders end up serving as exit liquidity.”

Key Developments & Data

Ethereum $ETH fell $200 on Thursday to $2,315 on Bitstamp, its lowest price since mid-August, as $293M in leveraged ETH positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours according to CoinGlass data. Long positions accounted for 92% of the ETH wipeout, totaling almost $270M, ahead of Bitcoin's $203M in 24-hour liquidations. Onchain Lens reported that market maker Wintermute holds $87.34M in open positions on Hyperliquid with 86.4% ($75.45M) on the short side, led by shorts in ETH ($18.33M), SOL ($12.07M), and SP500 ($10.72M). ETH ETFs also recorded almost $130M in net outflows on Wednesday after posting nearly $25M in net inflows on Tuesday, while open interest surged following a slightly higher-than-expected CPI reading.

Zubiqo Strategic Assessment

Primary Impact

Leveraged Ethereum derivatives traders, spot ETH ETF issuers, and decentralized perpetual exchange liquidity on platforms like Hyperliquid.

Strategic Shift

Institutional ETF outflows and concentrated short positioning from major market makers are amplifying macro-driven downside across crypto derivatives.

The Ripple Effect

With open interest elevated and short sellers holding steady positions after the CPI print, leveraged long traders face continued liquidation pressure unless spot ETF flows stabilize.
