La recente corsa di Ethereum verso livelli record ha innescato un’ondata rialzista che si è avvicinata ai 5.000 dollari. Tuttavia, tale cifra non è stata raggiunta, poiché i venditori sono riusciti nuovamente a dominare, spingendo il prezzo nuovamente verso il basso. Gran parte di questa pressione ribassista sembra essere guidata dai grandi hedge fund, che continuano a scommettere contro la seconda criptovaluta per capitalizzazione di mercato in numeri record.


Short su Ethereum raggiungono livelli record


Con il prezzo di Ethereum sopra i 4.000 dollari, anche le posizioni short sono aumentate, con molti che si aspettano che il rally perda slancio. Gran parte di questi short è guidata dai grandi hedge fund, contribuendo a spingere il prezzo di Ethereum verso il basso. Non è la prima volta, poiché gli hedge fund hanno costantemente cercato di sopprimere il prezzo di ETH per ridurre le proprie perdite.

Secondo i dati del dashboard “Net Positions of CME Ether Futures” sul sito The Block, questi numeri short sono saliti a livelli mai visti prima. Solo per gli hedge fund, le posizioni short quasi si sono raddoppiate nel mese di agosto.


Il sito mostra che il numero totale di short su Ethereum guidati dagli hedge fund era di 2,3 miliardi di dollari il 5 agosto. Tuttavia, questo dato è rapidamente cresciuto fino a 4,19 miliardi di dollari al momento del report, suggerendo che gli hedge fund continuano a prevedere un ribasso del prezzo di Ethereum.

Al contrario degli hedge fund, i gestori patrimoniali sono rimasti piuttosto rialzisti su Ethereum. I dati mostrano che continuano a detenere posizioni long, salite a oltre 1,22 miliardi di dollari al momento del report. Pur essendo un dato significativo, resta comunque inferiore alle posizioni ribassiste, indicando che prevale ancora lo shorting.

Le posizioni non riportate restano positive per 77,5 milioni di dollari. Nel frattempo, esiste anche la categoria “Altri”, che comprende spesso i piccoli investitori e simili, e risulta negativa a -397,5 milioni di dollari, aggiungendo ulteriore pressione ribassista.


Per gli hedge fund, più il prezzo di Ethereum sale, più perdono denaro, mentre più il prezzo scende, più guadagnano. Tuttavia, con le posizioni short a livelli record, la performance storica suggerisce che periodi come questi possono portare a uno short squeeze, con conseguente possibile rally del prezzo.

US CFTC Launches Broad Investigation into Polymarket, Is the Prediction Market Party Coming to an End?

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is conducting a broad investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket, focusing on its business practices including social media promotions. This follows a bipartisan letter from U.S. senators urging the CFTC to probe alleged fraudulent marketing tactics used to promote gambling-like products. The action coincides with a period of explosive growth for the prediction market sector, driven by events like the World Cup, with platforms like Kalshi and Robinhood reporting record trading volumes and revenue. The investigation signals a potential end to the sector's unregulated expansion and may lead to clearer federal oversight, particularly regarding investor protection and distinguishing prediction markets from traditional sports betting. The CFTC's move has also intensified a jurisdictional conflict with multiple U.S. states (including Kentucky and New York), which have sued platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, accusing them of operating illegal sports betting and threatening state gambling tax revenues. Furthermore, the CME Group has sued the CFTC, challenging its approval of certain prediction market products. The report also highlights the political and capital interests intertwined with the industry. Donald Trump Jr. holds advisory and investment roles in both Kalshi and Polymarket, and the Trump administration has previously emphasized federal regulatory authority over these markets. The CFTC's investigation into Polymarket is framed as a step towards formalizing the industry's regulatory landscape, moving it from a phase of "wild growth" towards a more structured future.

U.S. CFTC Launches Extensive Investigation into Polymarket, Is the Prediction Market Frenzy Season Cooling Down?

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a broad investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket, focusing on its business practices including social media activities. This follows a bipartisan letter from U.S. senators urging the CFTC to probe allegations of paid influencer false marketing and fraudulent promotion of gambling-like products to American users. The investigation comes as the prediction market sector experiences explosive growth, largely driven by the World Cup. Weekly trading volumes have hit record highs, exceeding $14.4 billion, with platforms like Kalshi and Robinhood's new venture seeing significant activity. Major firms like Meta are also showing interest in the space. This regulatory scrutiny signals a potential end to the sector's "wild growth" phase. The CFTC's move also highlights an escalating jurisdictional conflict between federal regulators and state authorities. Over a dozen states, including Kentucky and New York, have sued platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, accusing them of operating illegal sports betting, which threatens state gambling tax revenues. The CFTC is countersuing to assert its exclusive federal jurisdiction over these "event contracts" as derivatives. Furthermore, the CFTC's approval of Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual futures contract has sparked a lawsuit from traditional exchange CME, alleging regulatory overreach. The political and capital landscape is intricate, with Donald Trump Jr. holding advisory roles and investments in both Kalshi and Polymarket. This connects capital, political influence, and regulatory bodies, suggesting the current investigation may be a step toward formalizing the industry's rules rather than halting its progress.
