๐Ÿ‹ WINTERMUTE IS SHORTING $122M. ๐Ÿ’€

๐Ÿ’ฐ Total Short Exposure: ~$122M
๐ŸŸข Unrealized PnL: +$920K
๐Ÿ”ป Largest Short: ETH โ€” ~$38.47M

Wintermute is currently holding roughly $122M in short exposure, with the largest single position being an ETH short worth ~$38.47M.
And yes, before everyone starts screaming โ€œETH BEARISH!โ€ โ€” thereโ€™s an important caveat.

Wintermute is a major market maker, meaning large short positions can be part of inventory hedging, delta management, liquidity provision, or structured trades, rather than a simple directional bet that ETH is about to dump.

But watching a market maker sit on $122M of shorts while already showing ~$920K in unrealized profit is still worth paying attention to.

Wintermute: โ€œWeโ€™re market makers.โ€
Also Wintermute: โ€œETH looks short.โ€ ๐Ÿ’€
Market: โ€œARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?โ€

๐Ÿ’ญ Is Wintermute simply hedging inventory โ€” or does the $122M short suggest theyโ€™re actually positioning for a broader downside move?
