Trend Research risks $1.33B ETH liquidation as price falls toward $1,781–$1,862

Trend Research, one of the largest Ethereum whales, holds 618,246 ETH across six addresses and faces a potential $1.33 billion liquidation threshold as ETH prices slide, blockchain monitoring by @ai_9684xtpa and BeInCrypto report. As of this writing, Ethereum was trading at $2,226.

The firm has $1.33 billion in WETH posted as collateral and $939 million in stablecoins borrowed; BeInCrypto says the liquidation range for its holdings is $1,781.09 to $1,862.02 per ETH if there are no margin top-ups or position reductions. ETH is down roughly 26% over the past week and nearly 8% in the last 24 hours.

BeInCrypto gives a per-address breakdown of thresholds: TOP1 collateral 169,891 ETH with liquidation at $1,833.84; TOP2 175,843 ETH at $1,862.02; TOP3 108,743 ETH at $1,808.05; TOP4 79,510 ETH at $1,781.09; TOP5 43,025 ETH at $1,855.18; TOP6 41,034 ETH at $1,856.57. In apparent risk-management moves, Trend Research deposited 20,000 ETH to Binance (about $43.88 million) and withdrew $77.5 million in USDT to repay roughly 98.1% of its Aave debt.

BeInCrypto also notes whales including BitcoinOG and Trend Research dumped about $371 million in ETH over 48 hours to repay loans on Aave. BeInCrypto cites Aave founder Stani Kulechov saying the protocol handled $140 million in automated liquidations smoothly on Jan. 31, but warns that a continued price slide toward $1,781–$1,862 could trigger forced liquidations and amplify market stress.
