Odaily News David Duong, head of research at Coinbase, wrote that recent claims about the largest short position in ETH in history are greatly exaggerated. He pointed out that the net inflow of Ethereum spot ETFs reached $1.16 billion in June, while the leveraged fund short positions on Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Ethereum futures increased from $466 million in early May to $1.6 billion on June 24, an increase that was basically consistent with ETF inflows. Duong explained that the phenomenon was mainly driven by basis trading. As the basis yield provided by CME Ethereum futures compared to spot has increased from an average of 6% in February to 8%-9% in May and June, it has attracted more institutions to participate in arbitrage by buying spot and selling futures, which does not mean pessimistic expectations for ETH.

Odaily News Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, said in a post today that the team firmly supports Ethereum, because without it, the entire industry cannot continue to move forward. He emphasized that the values of trusted neutrality, open source and permissionless innovation must be continuously inherited and spread. Tomaino pointed out that some current popular trends, such as venture capital chains and companies adopting Ethereum vault strategies, are not directly related to the above values, but they do not mean that they are bad. He quoted Hal Finneys view 33 years ago: Computers can be used to liberate and protect people, not control them.
