Abraxas Capital Whale Arbitrage Gold Annualized Return Reaches 25.9%, with a 10.2% ROI based on the Funding Rate
BlockBeats News, June 26th, according to Hyperinsight monitoring, the whale Abraxas Capital, who has long been earning funding rate carry trade on the gold target through short positions, is currently shorting GOLD with 5x leverage, with a position size of approximately $3.51 million, having held the position for 144 days and maintaining this scale long-term. During this period, the funding rate settlement has accumulated to $359,000, equivalent to 10.2% of the principal; excluding specific minor adjustments, the annualized return rate is about 25.9%.
Overall, the on-chain whales are leaning bearish (potentially due to arbitrage and hedging positions), with a total nominal size of short positions of around $39.3 million, which is 1.56 times the long positions ($25.2 million). However, when excluding data from large position holders, the funding rate has mostly been positive (indicating a market long bias), providing a stable source of fee income for short position hedging.

Aave founder: UK government plans to tax ISA cash interest, DeFi savings products may become more attractive
Foresight News reported that Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted on X that the UK government is considering taxing interest earned on cash held in Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs).

Micron CEO Accuses Apple of Significantly Lowering Prices During Industry Downturn, Leading to Severe Supply Shortage
BlockBeats News, June 26th, Micron's Chief Business Officer Sumit Sadana subtly pointed out that "certain specific large customers" (Apple) took advantage of their negotiating power during the last industry downturn to significantly push prices down, severely weakening the company's investment capacity and laying the groundwork for today's severe memory shortage.
Further data shows that Apple's price pressure tactics had led to massive losses for suppliers such as Micron and SK Hynix in 2022 and 2023 (some reaching -90% gross margin), while Apple profited over $16 billion through the iPhone's different storage capacity pricing strategy.
Interestingly, after 3 years, Apple reaped what they sowed. Yesterday, Apple was forced to raise prices of its hardware products due to soaring storage chip costs, subsequently causing a steep drop in the company's stock price.
