Wall Street Shorts ETH: Vitalik Knows and Is Front-Running, Tom Lee Remains Deluded

Wall Street short-selling firm Culper Research has disclosed a significant short position against ETH and related securities, including Bitmine (BMNR). The firm argues that Ethereum’s token economic model was broken following the Fusaka upgrade in December 2025. According to the report, Vitalik Buterin is aware of the issue and has been selling ETH, while prominent bull Tom Lee continues to invest despite what the report describes as clear signs of decline. Culper claims that the surge in on-chain activity post-Fusaka—cited by Lee as evidence of adoption—is largely driven by address poisoning and dust attacks, not genuine usage. Their analysis indicates that 95% of new wallet growth comes from dust addresses, poisoning attacks have tripled, and such transactions now account for 22.5% of all Ethereum activity. The upgrade increased the gas limit from 45M to 60M, aiming to expand capacity, but gas fees fell by ~90% instead of the projected 10–30%. Culper attributes this to a miscalculation in Layer-1 demand elasticity by Vitalik and developers, using outdated models. The report also notes declining validator earnings and a shift of developers and institutional activity to Solana, which it says is outperforming Ethereum in key metrics. The firm draws a parallel to past tech giants like Netscape and Nokia, suggesting Ethereum may face a similar decline absent structural changes.

Wall Street Shorts ETH: Vitalik Knew and Front-Ran, Tom Lee Still Deluded

Wall Street short-selling firm Culper Research has initiated a short position on ETH and related securities, including Bitmine (BMNR). The firm argues that Ethereum’s token economic model was fundamentally broken following the Fusaka upgrade in December 2025, which increased the gas limit from 45M to 60M. Contrary to initial expectations of a 10–30% drop, gas fees fell by approximately 90%, leading to a surge in low-value on-chain activity such as address poisoning and dust attacks. These activities now account for a significant portion of transaction growth and new wallet creation, distorting metrics often cited as signs of organic adoption. Culper alleges that Vitalik Buterin and core developers severely miscalculated Layer 1 demand elasticity using outdated models, overestimating real demand by 3–9 times. The report claims Vitalik is aware of these issues and has been selling ETH, exceeding previously announced sales targets. Meanwhile, Tom Lee of Bitmine continues to defend ETH based on misleading on-chain activity growth. Additionally, validators are earning 40–50% less in tips per unit of gas, reducing staking yields and potentially weakening institutional interest. Ethereum is also losing developer and market share to Solana, which has attracted major institutional DeFi adoption. Culper concludes that Ethereum’s tokenomics are irreparably damaged and expects further price declines.

Hold Bitcoin Mid-Term Short Positions, HYPE Successfully Rides the Wave for Profits | Guest Analysis

Summary: In this market analysis, Cody, a特邀分析师 for Odaily, reviews the past week's performance and outlines strategies. Bitcoin (BTC) continued its weak consolidation, aligning with the anticipated C-2 wave rebound. A short-term bearish trade (1x leverage) was executed, yielding a 2.12% profit. The medium-term bearish position, initiated at $89,000 (1x leverage), remains open. With BTC closing around $65,770, this position shows an unrealized gain of approximately 26.10%, having reached a maximum floating profit of around 32.58%. The overall technical structure suggests the medium-term downtrend persists, with any rebounds viewed as technical corrections within a larger bearish framework. Key resistance levels are identified at $68,500-$70,000 and $72,300-$74,500, with supports at $65,000, $60,000-$62,500, and $57,400. The strategy advises maintaining a core bearish bias ("sell the rallies"). Conversely, HYPE presented a strong bullish opportunity. Analysis indicates a completed Wave-I rise (from $20.46 to $38.41) followed by a Wave-II correction (to $25.60). The current movement is interpreted as the start of a potent Wave-III drive. A successful short-term long trade (1x leverage) captured an 11.14% gain. Key technical evidence for HYPE's strength includes a break of a long-term descending trendline, robust momentum off the Wave-II low, and quant model signals (momentum and price spread) indicating bottoming and bullish convergence. The primary target for Wave-III is above the Wave-I peak of $38.41. The recommended strategy for the coming week is to hold the 60% medium-term BTC short position (reducing to 40% if price breaks above $74,500) and use 30% capital for short-term, stop-loss-protected "spread" trades based on support/resistance levels, favoring shorting BTC on rallies. Strict dynamic stop-loss management is emphasized for all positions.

Hold Bitcoin Mid-Term Short Positions, HYPE Successfully Rides the Wave for Profits | Guest Analysis

Bitcoin Mid-Term Short Hold Maintained, HYPE Successfully Captures Profits | Guest Analysis In this market analysis, analyst Cody reviews the past week's cryptocurrency performance. For Bitcoin, the overall weak bearish trend continued. A previously established mid-term short position (1x leverage) opened at $89,000 remains held, currently showing an unrealized profit of approximately 26.10% as the price fell to around $65,770. A separate short-term short trade was executed, yielding a 2.12% gain. The primary view is that Bitcoin is undergoing a C-2 wave rebound within a larger corrective structure. The price is expected to continue oscillating within a range, with key resistance between $68,500-$72,300 and crucial support near $60,000-$62,500. The core trading strategy remains "selling on rallies." Significant focus is placed on HYPE, which is analyzed using Elliott Wave Theory. The analysis posits that HYPE completed its Wave I rise and Wave II correction and is now in the early stages of a potent Wave III advance. A recent short-term long trade (1x leverage) on HYPE capitalized on this move, generating an 11.14% profit. The wave count and breakout from key descending trendline are cited as evidence for this bullish outlook. The weekly strategy involves holding a 60% mid-term Bitcoin short position. For short-term trades, 30% of capital is allocated to scalp "price differences" based on support/resistance levels and proprietary quantitative models (Momentum and Price-Spread), following a strict principle of "going with the trend and selling high." Detailed A/B plans are provided for entering additional short positions on bounces toward $70,000-$72,300 (Plan A) or $74,500 (Plan B), complete with precise entry, stop-loss, and a dynamic trailing stop protocol to lock in profits. A strong disclaimer cautions that all analysis is for personal use and not investment advice.
