That alone signaled a shift. But insiders close to D.C. aren’t just talking crypto policy—they’re quietly buying something most retail investors have missed. While the crowd chases Bitcoin to $150,000, Weiss Ratings expert Juan Villaverde believes a different coin—already backed by giants like Google, Visa, and PayPal—could soon become crypto’s “Third Giant.”Discover the coin that could define Trump’s crypto presidency. 11/15/20233,690,000 shares $252.95 million +10.8%5.5%5.1 $68.55 10/31/20233,330,000 shares $219.98 million +5.1%4.9%4.4 $66.06 10/15/20233,170,000 shares $233.25 million +12.0%4.7%3.9 $73.58 9/30/20232,830,000 shares $212.19 million +3.3%4.2%3.3 $74.98 9/15/20232,740,000 shares $207.36 million No Change4.0%3.1 $75.68 8/31/20232,740,000 shares $206.38 million -10.2%4.0%3 $75.32 8/15/20233,050,000 shares $223.44 million -4.7%4.5%3.3 $73.26 7/31/20233,200,000 shares $245.76 million +1.3%4.7%3.5 $76.80 7/15/20233,160,000 shares $217.00 million -10.0%4.6%3.5 $68.67 6/30/20233,510,000 shares $220.88 million -0.9%5.1%4 $62.93 6/15/20233,540,000 shares $206.03 million -5.1%5.1%4.1 $58.20 5/31/20233,730,000 shares $215.33 million -11.8%5.4%3.5 $57.73 5/15/20234,230,000 shares $253.38 million -8.0%6.1%3.7 $59.90 4/30/20234,600,000 shares $276 million -5.5%6.6%4 $60.00 4/15/20234,870,000 shares $321.37 million -3.8%7.0%4.6 $65.99 3/31/20235,060,000 shares $329.20 million +24.0%7.3%4.6 $65.06 3/15/20234,080,000 shares $251.61 million +2.0%5.9%3.9 $61.67 2/28/20234,000,000 shares $269 million -1.2%5.8%5 $67.25 2/15/20234,050,000 shares $319.26 million -1.2%5.8%5.7 $78.83 1/31/20234,100,000 shares $297.82 million +31.4%5.9%6 $72.64 1/15/20233,120,000 shares $224.08 million +15.1%4.5%4.4 $71.82 12/30/20222,710,000 shares $183.25 million +7.1%3.9%4.1 $67.62 12/15/20222,530,000 shares $152.99 million No Change3.7%3.5 $60.47 11/30/20222,530,000 shares $167.01 million -11.9%3.7%2.9 $66.01 11/15/20222,870,000 shares $198.32 million -17.3%4.2%3.3 $69.10 10/31/20223,470,000 shares $232.25 million -12.2%5.0%4 $66.93 10/15/20223,950,000 shares $220.88 million -6.4%5.7%4.9 $55.92 9/30/20224,220,000 shares $206.53 million +29.5%6.1%5.3 $48.94 9/15/20223,260,000 shares $190.16 million +13.6%4.7%3.3 $58.33 8/31/20222,870,000 shares $146.31 million -16.1%4.2%3 $50.98 8/15/20223,420,000 shares $162.55 million +7.2%4.9%3.4 $47.53 7/31/20223,190,000 shares $160.07 million +12.3%4.6%3 $50.18 7/15/20222,840,000 shares $112.83 million -7.8%4.1%2.5 $39.73 6/30/20223,080,000 shares $130.10 million +86.7%4.5%2.7 $42.24 6/15/20221,650,000 shares $85.11 million -10.8%2.4%1.5 $51.58 5/31/20221,850,000 shares $109.98 million -4.2%2.6%2.1 $59.45 5/15/20221,930,000 shares $111.07 million +16.3%2.8%2.4 $57.55 4/30/20221,660,000 shares $84.25 million -1.2%2.4%2.2 $50.75 4/15/20221,680,000 shares $90.40 million +30.2%2.4%2.7 $53.81 3/31/20221,290,000 shares $67.04 million -12.8%1.8%2.3 $51.97 3/15/20221,480,000 shares $66.57 million +8.8%2.1%2.9 $44.98 VAL Short Interest - Frequently Asked Questions What is Valaris' current short interest?
