Trend Research Transfers 15,000 ETH to Binance Amid Ongoing Liquidation

Trend Research faced major ETH trading losses but offset them through gains in other tokens, reflecting a diversified approach amid sustained market volatility.

Fact Check
The evidence overwhelmingly and consistently supports the statement. Multiple high-authority sources, including on-chain analysis from Lookonchain, explicitly state that Trend Research was selling ETH for the purpose of repaying loans to avoid liquidation. This confirms the motive behind the sales. One highly relevant source directly aggregates transaction data and confirms the total amount sold was 'exactly 47,000 ETH,' corroborating the specific number in the statement. Other sources provide strong supporting evidence by reporting on individual transactions (e.g., 8,000 ETH, 11,000 ETH) that are part of this larger activity, and by providing the crucial context that falling Ethereum prices put Trend Research's positions at risk. While some sources cite different, larger numbers, these appear to refer to the total size of the position rather than the amount sold, and thus do not contradict the core claim. The consistency across numerous independent sources, from on-chain data firms to news aggregators, provides a high degree of confidence in the statement's accuracy.
Summary

Trend Research has reported a $734 million loss from closing 651,500 ETH at an average price of $2,053, following an earlier $315 million profit from selling 231,000 ETH. Despite substantial ETH losses, gains from other tokens, including WLFI and FORM, partially offset the impact. The firm also transferred 15,000 ETH to Binance as part of its ongoing liquidation, with major liquidation points remaining below $1,500. Previous transactions included $850 million in ETH sales and cumulative losses of $715 million since February 1, 2025, as Trend Research continues its strategy to reduce exposure and stabilize amid volatile conditions.
