Wintermute sees BTC setting up for a breakout around 82.5K, with next week’s FOMC as a key catalyst: a hawkish outcome could push it back into the range, while a dovish one could send it toward 87K. The meeting itself won’t provide direction, but it will create a window of volatility—manage positions as event trades, and don’t mistake a forecast for a plan. #BTC #FOMC #Wintermute

🔥 Wintermute, the crypto market-making giant, has had its cards exposed: 80% of its positions are short!
First, a quick introduction to the players for newcomers:
• Wintermute: A top-tier crypto market maker—like a card-counting pro who always wins at the casino. It handles trillions of dollars in trades each year and is a team of professionals powered by algorithms.
• Hyperliquid: The hottest on-chain perpetuals exchange right now, often called “the Binance of on-chain.” All positions are public and can be checked by anyone.
📊 The hard numbers uncovered this time:
Of its $81.36 million in total positions, 85.5% are shorts, while longs account for less than 15%.
Its main short positions:
• ETH: $22.61 million (15x leverage)
• SOL: $12.65 million (20x leverage)
• It also has shorts on XRP and the S&P 500
It has opened 132 diversified positions in total, made $9.66 million over the past 30 days, and has earned $177 million cumulatively—a track record worthy of a winning streak champion.
💡 What this means in plain English:
1. A top professional institution is putting real money on the line to signal a bearish short-term outlook, believing a move down is more likely.
2. They’re not going all in on a directional bet. They use diversification, hedging, and quantitative strategies—completely different from retail traders taking naked short positions.
3. This is just one institution’s positioning, not “the market’s answer key.” Institutions can cut losses and get it wrong, too.
⚠️ A sincere word of advice for newcomers:
Don’t see a big player shorting and rush in to copy their trade.
They can withstand a 20% swing; you might get liquidated after just 5%. They may have spot holdings to hedge with and a cushion if the trade loses money. You might go in with nothing but a pure gamble.
Treat it as something interesting to watch and a reference for market sentiment, but you’re responsible for your own money.

Market maker Wintermute holds approximately $81.36 million in positions on Hyperliquid, with shorts accounting for about 85.5%. ETH and SOL make up most of its short positions. Whale positioning ≠ a copy-trading signal—market-maker hedges and retail trend trades involve different kinds of risk. Don’t treat someone else’s positions as a reason to open your own.#Hyperliquid #Wintermute #Derivatives

Market makers are short—are you still willing to chase longs? 🧐
📊 According to monitoring by BlockBeats / TradingBeats, Wintermute holds $81.36 million in positions on Hyperliquid, 85.5% of which are shorts:
• $22.61 million in ETH shorts, with 15x leverage
• $12.65 million in SOL shorts, with 20x leverage
• $4.2 million in XRP shorts, with 10x leverage
Cumulative profits stand at $17.746 million, including $9.66 million earned in the past 30 days.
⚠️ Meanwhile, Barchart shows that the daily BTC Bollinger Bands have contracted to one of their narrowest ranges in nearly two and a half years. Volatility has been compressed to an extreme, often setting the stage for a directional breakout—which could be up or down.
🧠 My take:
Market makers' positions may include hedges, so they don't necessarily mean a bearish outlook. Don't blindly follow them. But if these highly leveraged shorts get squeezed by a rally, they could amplify volatility. Until a clear direction emerges, managing your position size matters more than guessing the direction.
👉 Which way do you think this Bollinger Band squeeze will break first—the upper or lower band? Let me know in the comments 👇

Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy jumps in to blast the rumor that he’s going to sue Binance, calling it “complete bullshit” and saying anyone who believes it has the memory of a goldfish. But last month, in a podcast, he admitted with his own mouth that prices on some of Wintermute’s liquidation orders were “absurd to the point of being ridiculous”—he may say he won’t sue, but his actions speak louder than words. Even CZ has spoken up, telling everyone to stick to official sources. Are the aftershocks of the October 10 liquidation event, which wiped out $20 billion, still not over? Pick a side: A) Nothing’s wrong—if the CEO personally denies it, that’s good enough / B) All talk—only they know how much they got clipped by ADL

Bearish
Wintermute didn’t say “don’t buy alts.” It said: don’t buy low-quality alts just for a bounce. The feed has already lost those two caveats.
Wintermute’s outlook is this: capital has left crypto and will return when US long-term yields settle down and money flows into spot ETFs. Over the long term — bullish.
On October 13, Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant said: “Bitcoin's bear cycle is over,” followed by 12–24 months of growth or sideways action.
Basically, neither is bearish; they just differ on timing.
A forecast without a threshold is just a mood to me. Wintermute has thresholds, and those are what I’m watching:
US 30-year yields above 5.64%. On October 14, they were at 5.56% — right on the edge.
$BTC
{future}(BTCUSDT)
, which keeps failing to hold above $82500
ETFs aren’t saving us for now: -$679 million over the week, +$175.62 million on October 13.
I don’t have any bitcoin right now, $BNB holding, parking my stablecoins in Simple Earn Flexible.
If any threshold breaks, I’ll break down here who got it right; follow so you don’t miss it.

Partly True
Additional Information: Wintermute Investor Allocation Activity
I also looked into the subsequent activity of the address that did not accept the OTC buyback offer announced by @Ethena_Labs (labeled as Wintermute by Arkham).
*Note: An institutional investor that sold $ENA after the peak on 2025/10/10 and did not accept the Foundation’s OTC token buyback offer in August.
-
The address (ending in 8D74) is a Wintermute multisig wallet. It currently holds 28M ENA (worth approximately $6M at current prices) + 5.7M sENA (worth approximately $1.2M at current prices, some of which has been unstaked).
The address received 31M ENA on 10/6, which appears to be this round’s one-time unlock of the investor allocation. It has since made several transactions:
➤ Some of the investor allocation transferred to Coinbase Prime
The address (ending in 8D74) transferred 2.5M ENA → an intermediary address (ending in 57E7) → Coinbase Prime (ending in 66EA).
➤ S5 airdrop claim
Today (10/9), the address (ending in 8D74) claimed 90,942 sENA through TokenManager.
Looking at its activity history, the address claims an airdrop roughly once a month, then gets ENA back by unstaking.
➤ Tokens unlocked from sENA transferred to a Coinbase hot wallet
Today, the address (ending in 8D74) transferred 174,909 ENA. The funds passed through several intermediary addresses before ultimately reaching a Coinbase hot wallet.
Based on its past activity, the address (ending in 8D74) has continued to send relatively small amounts of ENA to Coinbase.
-
Summary
The most interesting point is that, for the airdropped sENA, the multisig wallet follows the prescribed steps of unstaking and unlocking to get back the original ENA tokens, and only then sends them to an exchange.
The investor allocation appears to have been distributed directly in ENA tokens. It’s worth noting that transferring tokens to Coinbase Prime does not necessarily mean they are being sold; the address may also be using Coinbase Prime’s custody services. What happens next, however, remains unknown.

🚨 FTX estate moved 27,372 ETH (~$75M) to Wintermute across six wallets, signaling potential liquidity deployment.
This onchain activity often precedes market-making or hedging moves, not direct buying pressure.
Watch for increased ETH volatility as Wintermute may use these funds for arbitrage or inventory management.

When trying to look cool on-chain costs you $160 millionIn the crypto world appearance matters . Even your wallet address can be a status symbol .
Many large crypto funds and whales like to use what is called a Vanity Address a customized blockchain wallet address that starts with a specific set of readable characters instead of just random letters and numbers . It makes the project look professional and easily recognizable on the ledger .
To generate these vanity addresses quickly many projects used a popular open-source tool called Profanity
There was only one problem the tool's random number generator wasn't actually random
Security researchers discovered a massive flaw in Profanity realizing that the keys generated by this tool could be mathematically reverse-engineered . They publicly warned the entire crypto ecosystem that anyone using these vanity addresses was a sitting duck .
One of the biggest market makers in the world Wintermute was using one of these vanity addresses for their smart contract vault
They knew about the warning . They were actually in the middle of migrating their funds to a safer normal wallet address
But they were too late
In September 2022 a hacker exploited the known Profanity flaw cracked the private keys of Wintermute's customized wallet and silently drained $160 million right before their eyes . The very tool they used to look unique and sophisticated on the blockchain was the exact digital map the hacker used to walk right into their vault .
In a space where security should always come before aesthetics a multi-million dollar fund lost everything just to have a wallet address that looked clean
Is the obsession with branding and looking cool in Web3 starting to compromise actual security 🤔

🚨 $BTC LIQUIDITY STORM: WINTERMUTE BECOMES US BROKER-DEALER – TRADFI BRIDGE OPENS! 💥
The smart money is making its move. Wintermute just registered as a broker-dealer in the US, stepping onto the same floor as Jane Street and Citadel Securities. 🦈 This isn't just a licensing win – it's a direct bridge between crypto liquidity and traditional equities.
Meanwhile, Citadel's $400M bet on Crypto.com accelerates the collision course between two worlds. 🌊 Expect tighter spreads, deeper order books, and a new wave of institutional flow into digital assets. 📊 The market structure is shifting under our feet.
Will this merger of liquidity pools ignite volatility or smooth it out? 💬

🚨 Smart money doesn’t move randomly...
@Square-Creator-477b26315 , one of the largest market makers in crypto, expanded its presence in the United States after registering its American arm with the SEC and FINRA.
What does that mean?
✅ A bigger expansion into regulated markets.
✅ Closer alignment between traditional finance and digital currencies.
✅ A step that could increase institutional interest in digital assets over time.
This isn’t just a green candle...
It’s news that could have a bigger impact than many people think. 👀
Will we see the effect of these moves on the market over the coming months?

Wintermute: The crypto market has entered the late stage of the bear market, but the true bottom may be in September to October. Are you still waiting to buy the dip?
Key data: BTC breaks below $60,000, with half of the circulating supply in losses; spot Bitcoin ETF net outflows total $1.8 billion; U.S. May PCE inflation rises to 4.1%; Nasdaq continues to fall, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunges 7%.
Wintermute’s core view: Market sentiment has entered extreme panic, approaching the characteristics of a bear-market bottom, but there is a lack of inflows. A true bottom requires a macro turn plus capital returning.
More importantly: Strategy increases its dividend and launches a buyback, while still retaining the right to sell BTC to pay dividends. This means permanent buy-side demand is starting to shift.
When do you think the bottom will be—September to October, or later?
