Sun has clarified that his team does not employ leveraged trading, despite the rumors of liquidated leveraged positions when Ethereum fell below $2,000.
Institutional interest remains robust as Ethereum's price recovers to more than $2,500. On Monday, Ethereum ETFs experienced $48.8 million in net inflows, with BlackRock's Ethereum ETF dominating the pack with $47.1 million in new investments, according to data from Farside Investors.
This suggests that, despite the recent volatility, Ethereum's prominent investors remain optimistic about its long-term prospects.
