Yi Lihua: Multiple Factors Cause Market Volatility, Institutions Employ Long-term Strategies with Large Funds
January 26th, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua posted on social media:
“The community is pretty confused. Trend Research is buying up large amounts, BMNR and MicroStrategy are accumulating, CZ is touting a super bullish cycle—but prices have stayed weak and volatile. What’s going on here? After all, stocks, gold, and silver have all skyrocketed. Here are the main reasons we’re seeing:
- The four-year cycle and the October 11 crash
- The Japanese yen’s interest rate hike
- US BTC strategic reserves haven’t ramped up purchases
- Short sellers capitalizing on the current window to push prices down
- Risk-off capital flowing into gold, silver, and stocks
Still, from a contrarian perspective, even with so many negatives in play, ETH has held steady around $3,000 for consolidation and wash trading. That’s why we decided to build positions after exiting at $4,500. Plenty of people told us to wait for a better entry price, but no one has a crystal ball in

After 5 Years, Binance Relists Tesla Stock Trading
On January 26, Binance announced it will soon launch a Tesla (TSLA) Leveraged Token (U) perpetual contract, with support for up to 5x leverage.
Notably, Binance rolled out stock token trading in April 2021—with Tesla as its first supported token, priced in BUSD back then. The product was a synthetic asset, not actual stock trading. But due to regulatory concerns, the service phased out trading by July 16, 2021.
Roughly five years later, crypto has trended toward full compliance, and tokenization is the most talked-about topic in crypto’s integration with traditional finance. Crypto users can now trade tokenized stock products again on both centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Ivan on Tech: Short Sellers Enter Most Insane Dumping Phase, $100 Swings Normal
On January 26, Li Hua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), posted on social media:
“Market volatility has been pretty wild these past few days. From our research, short sellers have been dumping like crazy—but that hasn’t dented the overall bullish trend, especially with the U.S. stock market’s sustained strength and the national strategic backdrop for crypto in the U.S. We’re not swayed, and we won’t change our investment strategy.
“Our last round of ETH investments netted nearly 2.5x returns. We also navigated ETH dropping from $2800 to $2100 amid the Middle East black swan event—so a few hundred dollars in swings is totally normal. The recent bull market’s been mocked online, too: billions in value swinging overnight, like a roller coaster. But as the saying goes, ‘the rougher the waves, the more precious the fish.’ And there’s no certainty in investing.
“Our ongoing strategy: buy the dip, deploy multiple strategies, and accumulate more ETH. Lately, hedge funds
