According to Cas Abbé (@cas_abbe), Abraxas Capital is currently shorting Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), even while accumulating ETH in their spot portfolio. This approach is a classic hedging strategy aimed at minimizing portfolio risk, as confirmed by transaction data shared on Twitter. Abraxas Capital’s short positions are currently facing unrealized losses exceeding $20 million, but their spot ETH holdings may offset some of these losses if the market reverses. For crypto traders, this signals that large institutions are actively managing risk through both spot accumulation and derivatives trading, which may impact short-term volatility in BTC, ETH, and SOL markets.
