  • D.E. Shaw made the biggest cut, selling 20.12 million shares and slashing its stake 52.5% to 18.2 million; JPMorgan also continued a nearly 79% unwind.
  • Nio shares still fell 2% in Hong Kong on Wednesday and 1.5% in New York on Tuesday to $4.53, showing filings did not lift near-term sentiment.
