Multicoin Capital co-founder Tushar Jain called the public disclosure of trading activity "completely absurd," arguing that revealing intentions risks front-running and exposes liquidation points. He emphasized that privacy is essential for on-chain capital markets to function properly. Earlier, Jain explained that a large batch of unstaked HYPE tokens resulted from routine wallet switches, not for sale. Nansen’s Alex Svanevik countered that transparency is a feature, not a flaw, noting that high trading volume and active trading activity remain central to market dynamics.

According to ME News, on July 24 (UTC+8), Tushar Jain, co-founder of crypto investment firm Multicoin Capital, responded to comments by Nansen co-founder Alex Svanevik, who suggested that traders should disclose their trading intentions in advance. Jain called the idea of pre-disclosing trading intentions “completely absurd,” stating that no trader would willingly reveal their intentions ahead of time, risking front-running, nor would any trader want their liquidation price made public. He emphasized that privacy is essential for the successful operation of on-chain capital markets. Previously, Tushar Jain had posted that the large batch of HYPE tokens he unbonded was not intended for sale, but rather due to persistent tracking of his funds, forcing him to regularly switch wallets. In response, Nansen co-founder Alex Svanevik commented that “transparency is a feature, not a flaw,” and suggested that if funds are already being tracked, it would be better to disclose intentions proactively. Jain offered the above response to that viewpoint. (Source: Foresight News)
