JPMorgan Chase: Raises NVIDIA Price Target from $250 to $265

Feb. 26 — Per on-chain data from Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring, the largest ETH long whale (address starting with 0xa5b...) currently holds a 15x leveraged ETH long position, with unrealized gains swelling to $5.26 million (53%). The whale’s current position totals ~70,000 ETH (valued at ~$144 million) with an average entry price of $1,991 — making it the largest long position on the Hyperliquid platform. **Key Historical Moves**: - On Feb. 9, the address opened a ~60,000 ETH long position at an average $2,086, briefly falling underwater post-entry. - On Feb. 14, as ETH surged to ~$2,100, it closed nearly half its stake (~29,000 ETH), locking in $1.31 million in profits. As ETH prices later dipped, the whale avoided liquidation. Over the past 10 days, it gradually reloaded the sold portion in the $1,868–$1,990 range, completing a "sell high, buy low" trade. This rebalancing cut its average cost from $2,086 to $1,991 (a ~$90 reduction). With ETH extending gains toda

February 26 — The debate over Bitcoin ETF mechanics, sparked by speculation about Jane Street’s market manipulation, continues to simmer. Bitwise advisor Jeff Park noted the question of whether Bitcoin prices were suppressed by Jane Street isn’t targeting a single institution — it’s rooted in the structural features of Bitcoin ETF architecture. Every Authorized Participant (AP) — including Jane Street Capital, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and others — holds an exemption allowing them to create and redeem ETF shares. This lets them flexibly manage market positions (including hedging via futures or derivatives) without needing to buy actual Bitcoin, which can impact price discovery. The operational gray area stems from regulatory exemptions and SEC approval for physical delivery. While there’s no evidence any AP explicitly suppressed Bitcoin prices, the current structure could distort the natural price discovery mechanism — warranting scrutiny from regulators and investors.

On February 26th, Alexander Pack—Dragonfly co-founder (and now a Hack VC co-founder)—publicly accused Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi of attempting to “rewrite history.” Pack claimed he and his partners founded Dragonfly more than a year before Qureshi joined, and that they led investments in high-profile crypto projects (including Bybit, Amber Group, and Crusoe) while Qureshi was still active in the poker entertainment industry. Qureshi strongly denied the allegations. He stated Dragonfly never led any transactions before his arrival, accusing Pack of mixing up “participating in investments” and “leading investments.” Qureshi added the fund had not yet been fully raised at the time—his team was still fundraising from limited partners (LPs)—and noted that when related media reports (including Forbes announcements) were published, the fund was not fully operational. The public feud quickly caught the crypto investment community’s attention. Controversy centers on Drag
