Wintermute Holds $160M Perp Shorts, $3.57M Unrealized Loss
A market maker of Wintermute's scale running a broad short book across majors and newer tokens is less a directional bet than a hedge against its own flow, so the modest unrealized loss says little on its own. What stands out is the composition: sizeable shorts in ETH, BTC and SOL sit alongside HYPE, a token still finding its liquidity base. The open question is whether this positioning reflects genuine two-way demand Wintermute is absorbing or a one-sided skew, which would matter for how these books unwind.
