According to on-chain data shared by Blockbeats, a major short position holder known as "山寨空军车头" (Rogue Short Seller) has increased their bearish bets against Solana ecosystem tokens. The address holds $4.01 million in 10x PUMP shorts and $300,000 in 3x MET shorts, along with an additional $1.2 million in Solana-based Meme coins. Despite higher prices, the address added $14.2 million in LIT shorts, now facing $1.74 million in floating losses. Since November, short positions have grown from $20 million to $46.7 million. Although the market has recently seen gains, floating profits have dropped by $3 million. However, the address still maintains $80 million in year-to-date gains. The current fear and greed index indicates that market volatility is likely to continue.

BlockBeats News, January 6, according to... Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring It is reported that the "Shanzhai Air Force" (a group known for shorting crypto assets) has recently been significantly increasing its short positions targeting tokens in the Solana ecosystem. Today, the address continued to add to its short position in PUMP and opened a new short position in MET (a token from the Solana-based project Meteora). Currently, the address holds a PUMP short position with 10x leverage, amounting to approximately $4.01 million, at an average price of $0.00238; and a MET short position with 3x leverage, amounting to approximately $300,000, at an average price of $0.31.

In addition, this address is also shorting meme coins on the Solana blockchain, including recently rising ones like PEPE and Fartcoin, with a total short position size of approximately $1.2 million.


According to Coinbob's monitoring, despite the continuous rise in LIT's price from last night to this morning, the "bullish leader of the altcoin short train" has increased LIT short positions against the trend. Currently, the total LIT short position size has reached $14.2 million, with an average entry price of $2.70, resulting in a floating loss of $1.74 million. This makes it the largest LIT short position on the Hyperliquid platform.
