According to Cas Abbé, redeeming stETH requires waiting in the Ethereum unstaking queue, which is currently 16 days long (source: Cas Abbé on X, Aug 17, 2025). According to Cas Abbé, this wait introduces duration risk because if ETH’s price drops sharply during that period, holders are exposed and unable to reposition (source: Cas Abbé on X, Aug 17, 2025). According to Cas Abbé, this immobility is a key risk stETH holders must price in when planning redemptions and trade exits during volatile ETH conditions (source: Cas Abbé on X, Aug 17, 2025).

According to Lookonchain, trader 0xcB92 has deposited an additional 3.37 million USDC to expand his short position on Ethereum (ETH), bringing his total position size to 40,000 ETH, equivalent to $114 million. The trader currently faces an unrealized loss exceeding $2.5 million and will be liquidated if ETH rises to $2,938.2. This large leveraged short position may increase volatility in the ETH price near the liquidation level, creating a key area of interest for traders monitoring potential short squeezes and rapid price movements.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), the widely watched ETH whale with a 25x leveraged short position has not yet been liquidated. The address currently holds 9,923.29 ETH in a short position worth $25.4 million, with a liquidation price at $2,577. The whale is actively reducing exposure to avoid forced liquidation, signaling extreme risk. Notably, this wallet is reportedly linked to Three Arrows Capital and has had multiple transactions with FTX, suggesting institutional strategies and potential systemic impact. This high-leverage activity increases market volatility and could trigger cascading liquidations in the crypto market if breached. Source: @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter, May 18, 2025.
