Please Be Kind to Jack Yi
This article details the investment journey of Jack Yi (Yi Lihua), founder of Trend Research and Liquid Capital, a prominent figure in the Asian crypto space. In early 2025, Yi successfully bought ETH at lows around $1,800, leveraged his position, and sold near $4,700, realizing significant profits and solidifying his reputation. However, after the market downturn in October 2025, he re-entered, accumulating over 650,000 ETH with an average cost of $3,180, heavily leveraged. A sharp price drop in February 2026 pushed his position to the brink of liquidation, forcing him to sell 200,000 ETH to avoid a total loss. Despite this, he incurred a massive $763 million loss, erasing his previous gains and part of his principal. Yi admitted to misjudging the market's bottom and the risks of overconfidence post-success. He remains a vocal, transparent long-term bull on crypto, advocating for ETH reaching $10,000+ and BTC surpassing $200,000. The piece argues that despite the setback, the market needs more transparent, research-driven investors like him to attract serious capital and counter the industry's casino-like reputation.
