#YiLihuaExitsPositions 🚨
Yi Lihua (Jack Yi), founder of Trend Research and former LD Capital, has fully exited his massive Ethereum (ETH) positions — a move watched closely in crypto circles. Here’s what happened in simple terms:
1️⃣ What “Exiting Positions” Means
Selling or closing your trade to lock in profits or cut losses.
Yi’s team had a leveraged long on ETH (~658K ETH, $2B+ value).
Exit = swapped ETH → USDT, repaid loans, sold almost everything.
2️⃣ Why He Exited
ETH price crashed from ~$3,386 → ~$1,750–$1,820.
Leverage risk: potential forced liquidation.
Tactical move: protect capital, avoid full wipeout.
Not a full pivot — still bullish long-term.
3️⃣ Financial Impact
Realized losses: $688–$747M.
Net loss after prior profits: ~$373–$448M.
Shows how leverage can amplify both gains and losses.
4️⃣ Market Effect
Selling ~658K ETH added bearish pressure and volatility.
Sentiment: caution, but long-term optimism remains.
5️⃣ Yi Lihua’s Takeaway
Bear markets = best accumulation windows.
Strategic exits preserve capital for future opportunities.
Still bullish: ETH >$10K, BTC >$200K in his view.
💡 Lesson: Even top traders take big hits. Have clear entry/exit plans, respect leverage risks, and treat corrections as chances to reposition.
