"There’s also a structural problem the conference largely overlooked. Caitlin Long, during her Day 2 session, offered one of the sharpest observations of the week: the financialization of Bitcoin through ETFs has introduced the very derivatives dynamics that amplify drawdowns. She cited Jeff Park’s analysis showing that IBIT options contributed to the recent spot price collapse, and noted that NASDAQ’s decision to increase the IBIT options position limit preceded the crash. As she put it, “the derivatives became the tail wagging the dog.” Long framed this as the inevitable consequence of Bitcoin entering its “financialization” phase - the same Wall Street plumbing that brought institutional capital also imported the leverage dynamics that make drawdowns sharper and faster than the “institutional floor” thesis assumes. The floor may exist, but it has trap doors built into it."
