Bitcoin’s Apocalyptic Dump Explained: A System Plumbing Failure, Not Retail Selling
Episode Summary
Bitcoin just experienced one of the most violent sell-offs in its history, and it wasn’t caused by retail panic. In this episode of Bitcoin News Weekly Live on the Daily Stack, we break down what actually happened behind the scenes. Record volume in BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, historic options activity, multi-asset hedge fund de-risking, and reflexive derivatives mechanics combined to create a cascading “plumbing failure” across the system. This was not people smashing sell.
