An anonymous cryptocurrency trader has accumulated almost $68 million in unrealized profit by shorting Ether.

一家匿名加密货币交易者通过短路以太币积累了近6800万美元的未实现利润。

According to blockchain data from Hypurrscan, the trader opened a 50x leveraged short position when Ether (ETH) was trading at $3,176, on Feb. 1. As of 9:06 am UTC on March 5, the position had almost $68 million in unrealized profit.

根据hyburrscan的区块链数据，交易者在2月1日的Ether（ETH）的交易价格为3,176美元时，在3月5日上午9:06交易时，该职位在未实现的利润中近6800万美元。

Shorting involves “borrowing” the underlying cryptocurrency from a broker, selling it at the current price, and then repurchasing it once the price falls — a strategy used by traders to bet on the price decline of an asset.

短路涉及从经纪人那里“借用”基本的加密货币，以当前价格出售，然后在价格下跌后对其进行回购 - 交易者使用的一种策略来押注资产的价格下跌。

The trade involved shorting 70,131 ETH, which is currently worth more than $155 million. In addition to the unrealized gains, the trader also earned $3.2 million in funding fees. However, the position is at risk of liquidation if Ether’s price rises above $3,460.

该行业涉及缩短70,131 ETH，目前价值超过1.55亿美元。除了未实现的收益外，交易员还赚了320万美元的筹资费用。但是，如果以太价格上涨超过3,460美元，则该职位有清算的风险。

The lucrative short position came during a period of heightened volatility in the crypto market. The industry recently suffered its largest-ever hack, with Bybit losing $1.4 billion, alongside broader macroeconomic factors, which saw Ether’s price decline nearly 11% over the past week, according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro.

利润丰厚的短期位置是在加密市场波动率提高的时期。根据CoIntelegraph Markets Pro的数据，该行业最近遭受了有史以来最大的黑客攻击，拜比特（Bybit）损失了14亿美元，其宏观经济因素在过去一周中的价格下降了近11％。

Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade may lay groundwork for next Ether price rally

以太坊的Pectra升级可能会为下一个以太价格集会奠定基础

The profitable short trade comes during an exciting period for Ethereum’s development, as the Pectra upgrade went live on its final testnet on March 5, according to Cointelegraph.

根据Cointelegraph的说法，随着Pectra升级于3月5日的最终测试网现场直播，盈利的短贸易是在激动人心的以太坊开发期间。

Ethereum’s forthcoming Pectra upgrade could help lay the groundwork for the next Ether rally by helping ease long-term selling pressure, according to Gabriel Halm, a research analyst at blockchain intelligence firm IntoTheBlock.

区块链情报公司Intotheblock的研究分析师Gabriel Halm表示，以太坊即将进行的Pectra升级可以通过帮助缓解长期销售压力来为下一个以太集会奠定基础。

“By reducing consensus overhead and boosting L2 scalability, it will expand the network’s overall capacity, thereby enhancing its competitive edge,” added the analyst.

分析师补充说：“通过减少共识开销并提高L2可伸缩性，它将扩大网络的整体能力，从而增强其竞争优势。”

The Pectra upgrade bundles several proposals, including EIP-7251, which will increase the validator staking limit from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, making it easier for validators to compound their earnings, potentially reducing sell pressure over time.

Pectra升级了包括EIP-7251在内的几项提案，该提案将使验证者的固定限制从32 ETH提高到2,048 ETH，从而使验证者更容易将其收入加剧，从而有可能随着时间的推移降低销售压力。

However, the upgrade was activated on the Holesky testnet on Feb. 24 and failed to finalize. This may mean Ethereum developers will further delay the mainnet launch as they investigate the issues.

但是，该升级于2月24日在Holesky Testnet上激活，未能最终确定。这可能意味着以太坊开发人员将在研究问题时进一步延迟他们的发射。

Investors can expect more information on the final date of the Pectra mainnet implementation on March 6 during Ethereum’s All Core Developers call.

投资者可以期望3月6日在以太坊的所有核心开发人员致电期间，在3月6日实施Pectra Mainnet实施的最后日期。
