Looking at the on-chain tracking, the company has deposited/liquidated the entire 651,757 ETH into Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. At the time of the transaction, the portion of ETH was valued at a whopping $1.34 billion, with a reported average exit price of $2,055.
According to MartyParty, this caps off a brutal leveraged long position that began unraveling hard when the price of Ethereum experienced a sharp decline. Specifically, the forced selling began at levels of $1,750 earlier in February 2026. After the sell-off, the estimated realized loss clocks in at roughly $747 million, while other trackers estimate it at roughly $745 million, marking one of the biggest public sales from a major player in recent memory.
MartyParty has outlined a breakdown of the action. The commentator highlighted that Trend Research originally built a huge ETH long. This was carried out by borrowing stables on Aave against ETH collateral, then buying more ETH exposure that reportedly peaked near +$2 billion at points.
