Cohen. It started the year with about $12.5 billion and now runs more than $8 billion. The current figure includes $2.75 billion in emergency funds Citadel LLC, its partners and Mr. Cohen's Point72 Asset Management injected into the hedge fund last Monday.\nAs part of the deal, they got non-controlling revenue shares in Melvin for three years. So far, Citadel, its partners and Point72 have lost money on the deal, though the precise scope of the loss was unclear Sunday.\nMelvin has massively de-risked its portfolio, said a client. People familiar with the hedge fund said its leverage ratio -- the value of its assets compared with its capital from investors -- was the lowest it has been since Melvin's 2014 start. They also said the firm's position-level liquidity, or its ability to exit securities in its portfolio easily, had increased significantly.\nNew and existing clients have signed up to invest money into Melvin on Feb. 1, according to the people familiar. It was unclear how much they would be adding.\nMelvin had established itself in recent years as one of the top hedge funds on Wall Street, but a short position in GameStop Corp. hurt the firm in recent weeks. Losses extended beyond GameStop, with declines coming from throughout its portfolio during a period of market turmoil in January. Positions in which Melvin had publicly disclosed owning put options -- bearish contracts that typically profit as stocks fall -- in its last quarterly regulatory filing soared, while positions in companies it held sold off.\nBed Bath & Beyond Inc., New York-listed Chinese tutoring company GSX Techedu Inc. and National Beverage Corp. were up 78.4%, 62% and 99% at their intraweek highs last week, respectively. Meanwhile, Booking Holdings Inc. and Expedia Group Inc. were down 9.9% and 13.4% at their intraweek lows.\nTraders say as GameStop continued to soar -- f rom $30 to $75 and higher -- there was a contagion effect. Managers lost confidence short positions would stop rising in value and covered heavily shorted names, worried social media-fueled investors would focus on companies they were short. They also started cutting their stakes in companies to reduce the risk in their portfolios, hurting other investors in those companies. Last week alone, GameStop shares soared more than four times.\n\"The performance pain...has been record breaking,\" read a note from Morgan Stanley to its trading clients last week.\nIndeed, hedge funds set near-daily records of various sorts last week for how much they pulled back their exposure to the U.S. stock market by covering their shorts and selling out of their wagers on companies, according to client notes from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. On Wednesday, this type of so-called degrossing contributed to the largest one-day drop in funds' use of leverage on record, said a Goldman note.\nMaplelane Capital, another hedge fund that has sustained significant losses this month, ended January with a roughly 45% loss, said a person familiar with the fund. It managed about $3.5 billion at the start of the year.\nThe frenetic trading that catapulted GameStop, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and BlackBerry Ltd. into the ranks of the most traded stocks in the U.S. market and captured the attention of the White House and regulators also hit prominent hedge funds Point72 and D1 Capital Partners.\nD1, which ended the month down about 20%, was short AMC and GameStop, said people familiar with the fund. One of the people said D1 had exited both positions by Wednesday morning but that those were small drivers of losses. A more significant factor was shares of travel-related companies declining.\nSome fund managers say the episode is likely to change how the industry works.\nFewer hedge funds are likely to highlight their bearish positions by disclosing put options, they said. Instead, funds may use Securities and Exchange Commission rules to keep confidential those positions, a tool activist investors have long used to build positions in companies quietly. More funds also may institute rules about avoiding thinly traded, heavily shorted stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":365,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3561105062822231","authorId":"3561105062822231","name":"phanghuiying","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6de359b1f4fa96675ee77832707304","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3561105062822231","authorIdStr":"3561105062822231"},"content":"Yup [Happy]","text":"Yup [Happy]","html":"Yup [Happy]"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":386033629,"gmtCreate":1613107491861,"gmtModify":1704878483473,"author":{"id":"3561102963736661","authorId":"3561102963736661","name":"kylerwsm","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a43845a47cc0ce18120e903c1eaffb3f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561102963736661","authorIdStr":"3561102963736661"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Eventually, regulations with&nbsp;Bitcoin will be the tipping point for&nbsp;its price","listText":"Eventually, regulations with&nbsp;Bitcoin will be the tipping point for&nbsp;its price","text":"Eventually, regulations with Bitcoin will be the tipping point for its price","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/386033629","repostId":"1179092967","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179092967","pubTimestamp":1613100617,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179092967?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-12 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Not Just Tesla: Why Big Companies are Buying into Crypto-Mania","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179092967","media":"barrons","summary":"For months, there has beena consistent trickle of newsabout mainstream businesses getting involved in cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin soared about 200% last year. In","content":"<p>The price of Bitcoin has been going through the roof lately. Bitcoin soared about 200% last year.&nbsp;Institutional interest&nbsp;has mainly led to this buoyancy.&nbsp; The cryptocurrency took less than a month to cross the difference of $20,000 in value as it hit the $20,000 mark for the first time on Dec 16 and touched $40,000 on Jan 7. If this was not enough, bitcoin crossed the 47,000 mark on Feb 8.</p>\n<p>The latest all-time high level was attained by virtue of Tesla’s investment of $1.5 billion, which made it the biggest company to show support to the otherwisecontroversial cryptocurrency.Tesla would start accepting payment for its electric vehicles in the currency. Before this,<b>PayPal Holdings Inc</b>&nbsp;had also announced such a move. PayPal's competitor&nbsp;<b>Square</b>&nbsp;launched support&nbsp;for bitcoin back in 2018&nbsp;through its Cash app. Square also&nbsp;bought $50 million in bitcoin&nbsp;in October as part of a larger investment in cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>Corporations’ greater acceptance in allowing customers to hold bitcoin and other virtual coins in their online wallets has been favoring the cryptocurrency.&nbsp;Facebook-backed cryptocurrency Libra has also been&nbsp;rebranded “Diem”&nbsp;in an effort to gain regulatory approval by refurbishing the project in a simpler manner. It is run by a consortium called the Diem Association.</p>\n<p>David Marcus, the head of Facebook Financial, also known as F2, said he hopes the&nbsp;cryptocurrency called Diem&nbsp;will hit the market in 2021. A bitcoin ETF could finally see the day of the light in 2021 as VanEck recently filed an application with the SEC. Notably, the SEC had earlier rejected several bitcoin ETF proposals (read:&nbsp;VanEck Files for a Bitcoin ETF All Over Again).</p>\n<p><b>More Corporate Acceptance Awaiting Ahead?</b>Antoni Trenchev, managing partner and co-founder of Nexo in London (one of the world’s biggest crypto lender), expects at least 10% of S&amp;P 500 companies to remain invested in Bitcoin by the end of 2022,as quoted in a source.</p>\n<p>Sergey Nazarov, the cofounder of Chainlink, said a few days back that “rising inflation and increasingly negative views of modern monetary policy are forcing investors to look for alternative ways to preserve the value of their capital,”&nbsp;as quoted on Businessinsider.&nbsp;Investors are probably viewing it as a&nbsp;hedge against inflation&nbsp;and an alternative to the depreciating dollar, per market watchers.</p>\n<p><b>Will the Rally Continue?</b>The biggest problem with bitcoin mining is that the number of coins will be fixed. “Bitcoin was designed to be created at a fixed rate, which means miners must compete against each other to win coins. The number of bitcoins created annually automatically decreases over time and issuance will end with a total of 21 million bitcoins in circulation. The more time passes, the harder computers have to work to mine new bitcoins. There are currently more than 18 million bitcoins in circulation,”per a Reuters article.</p>\n<p>So, there is no way that the 21 million will be exhausted soon. But will it be interesting to see what happens after that? Yes, “the bitcoin mining process provides bitcoin rewards to miners, but the reward size is decreased periodically to control the circulation of new tokens,” as indicated byan Investopedia article.</p>\n<p>If more circulation of currency is not possible with economic growth, one should not expect much stability in that currency’s trading. Bitcoin has been extremely volatile in the past, and will continue to remain so in the future too. Plus, one should take a closer look at the inflationary scenario. If there is disinflation in various parts of the globe due to any further COVID-19 crisis, bitcoin may slip again.</p>\n<p><b>Stocks to Play</b>Hence, it is wise bet on Crypto Innovators that are more stable.'Crypto Innovators' are the stocks of \"companiesthat service and transact in the segment of the economy dealing with crypto assets and distributed ledger technology (e.g., blockchain technology).\"</p>\n<p><b>Riot Blockchain</b> – The Zacks Rank #3 company leverages its expertise and network to build and support blockchain technology companies. Shares surged 40.3% on Feb 8.</p>\n<p><b>NVIDIA</b>&nbsp;– The company&nbsp;is poised to benefit from its GPUs in the cryptocurrency space.Chinese cryptocurrency miners are dealing with a scarcity of Nvidia's&nbsp;GeForce RTX&nbsp;30 desktop graphics cards by turning to GeForce RTX&nbsp;30-powered laptops, according to social media posts examined by&nbsp;Wccftech&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cointelegraph,as quoted on seekingalpha. NVDA was up 6.2% on Feb 8.</p>\n<p><b>Cleanspark Inc.</b>&nbsp;– The Zacks Rank #3 microgrid company provides energy software and control technology. From Dec 10, 2020the first full-day of mining following the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary ATL Data Centers LLC, through the end of the calendar year, CleanSpark produced 31 bitcoins from its mining activities.

Bitcoin soared about 200% last year. Institutional interest has mainly led to this buoyancy.  The cryptocurrency took less than a month to cross the difference of $20,000 in value as it hit the $20,000 mark for the first time on Dec 16 and touched $40,000 on Jan 7. If this was not enough, bitcoin crossed the 47,000 mark on Feb 8.\nThe latest all-time high level was attained by virtue of Tesla’s investment of $1.5 billion, which made it the biggest company to show support to the otherwisecontroversial cryptocurrency.Tesla would start accepting payment for its electric vehicles in the currency. Before this,PayPal Holdings Inc had also announced such a move. PayPal's competitor Square launched support for bitcoin back in 2018 through its Cash app. Square also bought $50 million in bitcoin in October as part of a larger investment in cryptocurrency.\nCorporations’ greater acceptance in allowing customers to hold bitcoin and other virtual coins in their online wallets has been favoring the cryptocurrency. Facebook-backed cryptocurrency Libra has also been rebranded “Diem” in an effort to gain regulatory approval by refurbishing the project in a simpler manner. It is run by a consortium called the Diem Association.\nDavid Marcus, the head of Facebook Financial, also known as F2, said he hopes the cryptocurrency called Diem will hit the market in 2021. A bitcoin ETF could finally see the day of the light in 2021 as VanEck recently filed an application with the SEC. Notably, the SEC had earlier rejected several bitcoin ETF proposals (read: VanEck Files for a Bitcoin ETF All Over Again).\nMore Corporate Acceptance Awaiting Ahead?Antoni Trenchev, managing partner and co-founder of Nexo in London (one of the world’s biggest crypto lender), expects at least 10% of S&P 500 companies to remain invested in Bitcoin by the end of 2022,as quoted in a source.\nSergey Nazarov, the cofounder of Chainlink, said a few days back that “rising inflation and increasingly negative views of modern monetary policy are forcing investors to look for alternative ways to preserve the value of their capital,” as quoted on Businessinsider. Investors are probably viewing it as a hedge against inflation and an alternative to the depreciating dollar, per market watchers.\nWill the Rally Continue?The biggest problem with bitcoin mining is that the number of coins will be fixed. “Bitcoin was designed to be created at a fixed rate, which means miners must compete against each other to win coins. The number of bitcoins created annually automatically decreases over time and issuance will end with a total of 21 million bitcoins in circulation. The more time passes, the harder computers have to work to mine new bitcoins. There are currently more than 18 million bitcoins in circulation,”per a Reuters article.\nSo, there is no way that the 21 million will be exhausted soon. But will it be interesting to see what happens after that? Yes, “the bitcoin mining process provides bitcoin rewards to miners, but the reward size is decreased periodically to control the circulation of new tokens,” as indicated byan Investopedia article.\nIf more circulation of currency is not possible with economic growth, one should not expect much stability in that currency’s trading. Bitcoin has been extremely volatile in the past, and will continue to remain so in the future too. Plus, one should take a closer look at the inflationary scenario. If there is disinflation in various parts of the globe due to any further COVID-19 crisis, bitcoin may slip again.\nStocks to PlayHence, it is wise bet on Crypto Innovators that are more stable.'Crypto Innovators' are the stocks of \"companiesthat service and transact in the segment of the economy dealing with crypto assets and distributed ledger technology (e.g., blockchain technology).\"\nRiot Blockchain – The Zacks Rank #3 company leverages its expertise and network to build and support blockchain technology companies.

NVDA was up 6.2% on Feb 8.\nCleanspark Inc. – The Zacks Rank #3 microgrid company provides energy software and control technology. From Dec 10, 2020the first full-day of mining following the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiary ATL Data Centers LLC, through the end of the calendar year, CleanSpark produced 31 bitcoins from its mining activities. Production since the first of the year has exceeded 4.3 bitcoins.
