Data: During the 10/11 Flash Crash, Whales Contrarian Accumulated, Investors Remain Confident in $11K BTC

3 hours ago

On October 13th, on-chain data analyst Murphy made a comparison between the crash on October 11th and the previous Luna flash crash that triggered a deep bear market. The external factors leading to the bearish turn in the previous cycle included the shift of the Fed's monetary policy from loose to tight. The internal factor was the Luna flash crash in May 2022, which directly damaged market confidence and served as a catalyst for BTC to enter a bear market. During the Luna flash crash from May 10th to May 11th, Binance's BTC balance experienced explosive growth. It reached a peak on May 10th with a daily average inflow of 48,595 BTC, while prices were still declining. This panic-driven exodus behavior, regardless of cost, reflected that investors' confidence was on the verge of collapse. In contrast, during the October 11th crash, no significant inflows to Binance were observed. Instead, the daily average outflow remained at 5,338 BTC. Despite the impact of the sudden event, the off-exchange demand, except for ETFs, did not decrease, and investors still maintained confidence in BTC around $110,000. On May 10, 2022, among all large BTC transfers, whales with individual amounts exceeding $10 million collectively transferred $980 million to Binance. However, during the October 11th crash, whales with individual amounts exceeding $10 million collectively transferred $380 million out of Binance. Even in this crash where the theoretical losses for whales were much greater than those of ordinary retail investors, these large holders chose to continue accumulating BTC rather than exit at a loss.

Ethereum dropped from $4,750 to $3,500, and various alternative coins witnessed an immediate drop of over 80% in illiquid conditions.

The total market capitalization temporarily dropped from a high of $4.26 trillion in October to $3.3 trillion, with over $19 billion in liquidation positions on a single day. This sell-off was triggered by aggressive selling pressure in the spot market.

Polymarket Founder Previously Involved in Ethereum ICO

On October 13th, as per Fortune magazine, a competition for the dominant position in the prediction market is currently in progress between Kalshi and Polymarket. The prediction market has been around for many years, but it was not until 2024 that it truly gained momentum under a more lenient regulatory environment. Both companies announced new funding rounds last week. However, Polymarket's valuation reaching tens of billions of dollars has caused even greater commotion. The product differences between the two startups are almost as insignificant as those between Uber and Lyft. Apart from Kalshi having a slight edge in the regulatory process, the most notable difference is that Polymarket is built on blockchain infrastructure. Kalshi is eager to incorporate crypto features, but it is not easy to catch up with the competition. Polymarket has been conducting transactions on the Polygon Layer 2 network since its establishment, and its founder Shayne Coplan (now 27 years old) even
