On February 1, major crypto fund Trend Research strategically rebalanced its portfolio following Ethereum’s recent decline. On-chain tracking by BlockBeats revealed the firm transferred 109.1 million USDT from centralized exchanges to settle debt obligations. This deleveraging move brought their total ETH-linked debt down from $1.12 billion to $1.01 billion, while simultaneously reducing their leverage exposure from 2.4x to 2.2x.

The repositioning comes as Ethereum currently trades around $2.12K. Trend Research’s current holdings remain substantial at 651,500 ETH, signaling the firm maintains its core conviction despite reducing near-term risk exposure. Such on-chain debt management reflects growing trends among institutional players to adjust leverage ratios during market volatility, balancing growth ambitions with prudent risk management.
