Ethereum Finance Firm Faces $1.3B Unrealized Losses as Market Plunge Deepens Crisis

Digital asset managers holding Ethereum positions are bleeding red ink as crypto winter continues to bite.

The Unrealized Loss Trap

Major Ethereum-focused financial institutions now stare down staggering paper losses totaling $1.3 billion. Market volatility hammered positions that looked solid just months ago, leaving balance sheets in tatters and investors questioning risk management strategies.

Next Possible Target For Gold?

According to Rashad Hajiyev, a leading finance expert, the gold price is currently testing the upper band of the rising 2.5-year band. If successful, it could easily breach the $4K mark to sit at a new price of $4900.

Moreover, Hajiyev believes the precious metal rally may continue to take over the markets in its next phase.

I think precious metals are setting up for the final parabolic run in the present cycle. Gold could reach $5k and silver $85. These levels could be achieved within 5-6 weeks. The trigger could be Fed initiating QE, geopolitical event, bank crisis or something completely…
