最新报道:Wintermute, a leading crypto market maker, is facing an Ethereum liquidity crunch as demand for OTC trading surges. The firm's Ethereum reserves have dropped to just 16,500 ETH ($27.5 million), down from over 200,000 ETH in early 2023. CEO Evgeny Gaevoy attributes this to increased institutional interest in ETH staking and DeFi opportunities, coupled with reduced selling pressure from miners post-Merge. Wintermute remains active in OTC markets but is carefully managing its ETH positions. The situation highlights growing institutional crypto demand and changing Ethereum market dynamics following its transition to proof-of-stake.
