Odaily News CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted on X platform, issuing a correction to his previous analysis of CME bitcoin futures positioning. He stated that he had mistakenly labeled "Total Reportables" as "Leveraged Funds," which led to the conclusion that CME hedge funds had rarely turned net long on BTC futures. However, the actual situation is that leveraged funds still maintain net short BTC futures positions.

Ki Young Ju provided CFTC futures positioning data as of August 4:

1. Large institutional traders overall show a slight net long position, a category that includes asset managers, market makers, dealers, etc. Ki Young Ju stated that although the net long magnitude is limited, his earlier judgment that institutions leaned bullish still holds.

2. Leveraged funds still maintain net short BTC futures positions, but over the past year, their standard BTC futures net short size has decreased by approximately 50% (in BTC terms). The main reason is the decline in basis trade returns—when futures basis yields fall below U.S. Treasury yields, the arbitrage space narrows. Leveraged funds are currently net long on Micro BTC futures, but the position size is small, only approximately +394 BTC, equivalent to about 1% of the standard BTC futures net short size.

Ki Young Ju stated that leveraged funds have not yet turned net long overall, but their long-term structural short positions are clearly weakening, which may reflect arbitrage position unwinding and directional position adjustments.

Odaily News - Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Situationship" that Ethena is a stablecoin project currently facing challenges but with the potential to easily 5-10x in value. He noted that one issue with Ethena is the lack of a buyback mechanism. However, considering it is currently the sixth-largest USD stablecoin by circulation, this can be overlooked. The problem with ENA lies in the fact that due to declining prices leading to insufficient Bitcoin basis yields, the yield from holding USDe is almost on par with Treasury bonds. Therefore, staking synthetic dollars in USDe, taking on counterparty risk from centralized exchanges and smart contract risk, is simply not worth it. This is why circulation supply has dropped 75% from its peak, and the ENA token price has fallen over 90%.

Looking ahead, even a slight increase in dollar liquidity could drive Bitcoin prices higher, thereby boosting basis yields and attracting significant capital inflows into USDe. ENA doesn't need much to escape its downturn, so in the coming months, it might be an investment option worth considering for a potential quick 5x return.

Previously reported, monitoring shows that Arthur Hayes has been heavily buying ENA since August, accumulating 22.64 million ENA tokens as of August 6th, valued at approximately $2 million.
