Yi acknowledged that his market bottom prediction was early but stated it remains bullish and he will manage risks. Trend Research attracted attention with aggressive ETH accumulation after the 19 billion dollar liquidation in October 2025. This move increased liquidity pressure on the Aave protocol.
