Bitcoin OG Garrett Jin withdraws 80,000 Ethereum from Binance

1 min read

Garrett Jin, a prominent crypto trader commonly known as Bitcoin OG “1011short,” withdrew 80,000 Ethereum worth approximately $168 million from Binance on Thursday, according to on-chain data.

The transfers took place during a market-wide selloff that pushed most crypto assets lower, with Bitcoin falling below $71,000 and Ethereum dropping under $2,100. The total crypto market capitalization shed 6% to $2.4 trillion, per CoinGecko.

The move signals a renewed interest in buying Ethereum, as Jin recently deposited a large Ethereum holding into Binance starting in late 2025, according to Lookonchain. Large transfers to exchanges are often seen as potential selling signals.

Jin has gained widespread attention for his on-chain moves during periods of extreme volatility. He is best known for a $735 million Bitcoin short on Hyperliquid that netted an estimated $160 million in profit just minutes before a massive market crash triggered by President Trump’s October 2025 tariff announcement.

The trader’s wallet shows that he still holds over 30,600 BTC worth over $2 billion.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
