Trend Research cut leverage by selling ETH and repaying USDT debt, yet retains major holdings worth nearly $1B, facing substantial unrealized losses.
Trend Research sold 188,500 ETH between February 1–4 at an average price of $2,263, raising about $426 million and repaying $385 million in USDT debt. The firm’s ETH loan liquidation levels now stand between $1,576 and $1,682, close to the current price of around $1,640. It still holds 463,000 ETH valued at roughly $998 million with a cost basis of $3,180, resulting in total losses of $647 million, including $173 million realized and $474 million unrealized. Despite lowering leverage, the large remaining ETH position leaves the company exposed to further price declines.
