JANE STREET JUST EXPOSED THEIR NEXT TARGET: ETHEREUM.
The same firm behind the daily 10 AM Bitcoin dump, the same firm sued for insider trading in the $40 billion LUNA collapse, and the same firm with $567 million frozen by Indian regulators could now be targeting Ethereum.
The data reveals a massive, coordinated exit from Bitcoin and a violent rotation into Ethereum.
IBIT : down 71% in a single quarter. FBTC : down 60%. Strategy $MSTR : down 78%. Bitcoin miners IREN, Cipher, TeraWulf, Core Scientific: all cut.
Over $800 million in Bitcoin exposure erased in 90 days. Now look at what they were buying at the same time.
ETHA : nearly doubled. FETH : sharply raised. Galaxy Digital: from 17,000 shares to 1.5 million. That is an 8,700% increase in one quarter.
Total new Ethereum ETF exposure added: $82 million.
In Q4 2025, the quarter right before this dump, Jane Street increased their MSTR position by 473%. They loaded up aggressively and Then in Q1 2026 they cut 78% of it.
In India, SEBI documented this exact structure across 18 expiry days. Build the long position in the underlying first. Then set up the derivatives. Then move the market. The cash position is the setup cost and The options book is where the money gets made. And the options book is the one thing a 13F will never show you.
Ethereum is the easier target. Bitcoin futures open interest sits at $60 billion. Ethereum's is slightly more than half that at roughly $34 billion. A smaller market means a smaller amount of capit
In India, Jane Street moving the Bank Nifty index using stock purchases. Ethereum's market cap is $273 billion against Bitcoin's $1.6 trillion. That is a 5.8x size difference. The same amount of capital creates nearly 6 times the price impact in ETH.
Ethereum ETF penetration is less than that, which means there is no institutional demand floor yet to absorb a coordinated sell.
They are not rotating into Ethereum because they are bullish on Ethereum. They are rotating into Ethereum because It is easier to move.
Um trader de cripto supostamente transformou $800 em mais de $210,000 após comprar um altcoin relacionado a IA que foi esquecido e que de repente disparou após o renascimento do hype em torno dos tokens de inteligência artificial.
De acordo com contas de rastreamento na blockchain, a carteira permaneceu inativa por meses antes que o token explodisse mais de 26,000% em menos de três semanas. O trader ainda não vendeu a maior parte das suas holdings, levando muitos no Crypto Twitter a especular que a alta pode não ter acabado ainda.
Vários analistas alertaram que pumps semelhantes de baixa capitalização permanecem extremamente voláteis e podem colapsar dentro de horas assim que os primeiros holders começarem a realizar lucro.
