**Crypto Influencer & Ex-FTX Partner: Bitcoin’s -5.65σ Drop Nears “Industrial-Level Impossible”** On February 6, Benson Sun—crypto KOL and former FTX Community Partner—posted that Bitcoin (BTC) saw an extreme downswing this morning. Calculated over a 200-day lookback period, BTC’s decline hit **-5.65 standard deviations (σ)**. In manufacturing, the Six Sigma standard allows just 3.4 defects per million occurrences, defined as “almost impossible” in human industrial civilization. Yesterday’s BTC volatility was only 0.35σ away from this “industrial-level impossibility.” A -5.65σ event has a theoretical normal distribution probability of roughly 1 in 1 billion. While financial markets have “fat tails” (extreme events more likely than normal distribution predicts), BTC has only seen this level of volatility **4 times** since its trading launch in July 2010—accounting for ~0.07% of all trading days. Even during the deep bear markets of 2018 and 2022, no such rapid decline occurred

On February 6, per on-chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa), Trend Research continued transferring 20,000 ETH to Binance.

On February 6, HyperInsight monitoring data reveals that a whale address (0xa9c...) on Hyperliquid has held a long position in ASTER that’s been heavily underwater for nearly four months. The position was opened on October 15 last year at an average price of approximately $1.37. It currently has an unrealized loss of around $2.14 million—equivalent to an 866% loss, or nearly 9x the initial principal. The current position size is about $1.23 million, with a liquidation price of $0.31. Additionally, the address has recently been actively trading xyz:SILVER (a synthetic silver asset) and xyz:XYZ100 (a synthetic Nasdaq 100 index asset), chasing price swings. Its most recent close was a SILVER long position from seven days ago: the position size once peaked at $7.86 million, and it exited with a loss of roughly $1.67 million. After multiple losses, the address’s account balance has dwindled to approximately $0.54 million.

Chris Burniske, former crypto lead at Ark Invest and now a partner at Placeholder VC, said on Feb 6: “Watching closely, but not buying in yet. Expect a bounce, but fear this washout isn’t over yet.” Previously reported, on Jan 26, Burniske stated: “I haven’t started buying in yet—focusing on key support levels at $80k, $74k, $70k, $58k, and $50k and below. It’s important to note I’m not concerned about short-term market moves. If the price continues to bounce from current levels, I’ll hold my existing positions and gradually diversify my investments; if the market sees a significant drop, I’ll keep buying more BTC and a select few crypto assets.”

On February 6th, per GMGN monitoring data, Solana meme coin Buttcoin surged again this morning.

The token is up 36% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume totaling approximately $5.3 million.

Investors should be aware of the risks.
