high-leverage

Arthur Hayes published an article titled "Woomph" analyzing that the recent continuous depreciation of the yen and the decline in Japanese government bond prices are triggering "anomalies" in the global financial markets. He believes that the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury may be forced to work together to directly intervene in the yen exchange rate and the Japanese government bond market by expanding their balance sheets, thereby injecting new liquidity into the global fiat currency system.He stated, "The yen is strengthening against the dollar, and Bitcoin prices are falling. I will not increase risk until it is confirmed that the Federal Reserve is printing money to intervene in the yen and Japanese government bond market. If there is a significant increase in foreign currency-denominated assets on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, it will be a good time to increase Bitcoin holdings." Before the yen's trend shows volatility, he has closed positions in high-leverage Bitcoin-related assets such as Strategy and Metaplanet; if his judgment is validated, he will re-enter the market.While waiting for policy clarity, his fund Maelstrom continues to increase its holdings in Zcash, while maintaining positions in other quality DeFi tokens; once the Federal Reserve confirms balance sheet expansion intervention, he will consider increasing positions in DeFi assets such as ENA, ETHFI, PENDLE, and LDO.

According to Yu Jin's observation, a market rebound of about 4% at 3 AM led to the liquidation of one-third of the short position of the rolling trader 0xD83...Fd7, amounting to approximately $332 million, with unrealized profits plummeting from $24 million to $4 million.High-leverage rolling strategies have very low tolerance for errors; even a slight price reversal can result in the loss of all profits or principal. Currently, this address has replenished part of the short position and still holds approximately $266 million in short positions.

According to Solid Intel, following recent market fluctuations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has strengthened its regulation of high-leverage ETFs, issuing warning letters to relevant issuers and effectively halting the launch of new 3x to 5x leveraged products.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a series of warning letters to some of the country's most prolific high-leverage exchange-traded fund providers, effectively halting the launch of products aimed at offering two or three times the daily returns of stocks and commodities.In nine nearly identical letters released on Tuesday, the SEC informed companies including Direxion, ProShares, and Tidal that it would not proceed with the review of proposed issuance products until key issues are resolved. The core concern of the regulator is that the risk exposure of these funds may exceed the SEC's limits on the risks that funds can take relative to their assets. These letters instruct fund managers to either modify their investment strategies or formally withdraw their applications.
