Analysis: Hedge funds are suspected to be the "main force" of this round of shorting Ethereum
2025-08-20 04:21:38
As the price of Ethereum failed to break through the resistance level as scheduled, it has now fallen again. Analysts believe that this round of bearish market pressure appears to be mainly driven by large hedge funds, which continue to short ETH by record amounts and try to lower the price of ETH to stop losses. According to the data of the "CME Ethereum Futures Net Positions" dashboard on The Block, the number of Ethereum shorts has risen to an unprecedented level. For hedge funds alone, short positions almost doubled in August: On August 5, hedge fund-driven Ethereum shorts totaled $2.30 billion, but recently this number has rapidly increased to $4.19 billion, indicating that hedge funds continue to expect the price of Ethereum to decline.
