Can we trace the Bitcoin?

    Find and observe BTC trading data and correlate it to de-pegging events since Friday, May 6. Is it possible to observe unusual patterns of short positions for BTC or UST? Compare and contrast to the Black Wednesday attack. What was similar? What was different?

    Unfortunately it seems as though this isn't really possible with the data available.

    Lots of great details were found regarding the attack in general, but it is very difficult to locate the "loan" from which is originated.

    This is an excellent breakdown of a few of the transactions that occurred during the attack. It includes LFG's liquidity removal from 3pool, lots of UST dumps (from various wallets/blocks), and a combination of those txs.

    As TZM mentioned in the PurpleGang discord channel: "It's not that easy. We'd need to look at all the big CEXs and use their APIs to track long/short positions. Some of them don't even give you exact individual (per wallet) data. On top, we dont know where they shorted all this btc and ust. Sometimes loans of that size are private tx/not on chain anyway"
