Two years after blowing up his own fund, Zhu Su offers advice to $2B Ethena

Almost two years after its spectacular blow-up, Three Arrows Capital ( 3AC ) co-founder Zhu Su has helpfully offered advice to Ethena on how to manage risk. Su’s fund blew up spectacularly in 2022 after aggressively pursuing his ‘supercycle’ thesis. 3AC ghosted creditors and was uncooperative with liquidators, leading to Su’s imprisonment in September after attempting to flee Singapore. Su’s partner in crime Kyle Davies remains unrepentant and intends to avoid jail. Boldly presuming Ethena’s risk managers would want his advice in the first place, Su suggests leveraging up the long side of the trade to keep the ETH ‘funding rate’ high. Rather than simply holding USDe’s staked ETH collateral, he advises using it to borrow more ETH on decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave. The extra funds would then be used to buy perpetual swaps , boosting the demand for leverage and keeping USDe yields up. Ethena needs to borrow eth vs steth in aave, sell spot ethusd + buy perp to d...

Shiba Inu May Price Prediction: Can SHIB Hit $0.0001?

Image
Shiba Inu, a prominent meme coin , has been grabbing headlines with its recent price fluctuations. SHIB has positioned itself as a serious contender, engaging in head-to-head competition with the well-known Dogecoin. SHIB began the year trading below $0.000010 and subsequently experienced a rally of over 450%,. It also reached a yearly peak of $0.000045 in mid-February. Despite this increase, the token remains 73% below its all-time high from 2021. This recent price action suggests renewed interest and positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. At the present trading price of approximately $0.00002703, after a period of consolidation, SHIB seems to be poised for its next potential price movement. Given the considerable volatility in the market, we offer our assessment of the likelihood of SHIB hitting $0.0001 by May.
