"Stress Tests the System: Bitcoin's Plunge Exposes Institutional Conviction (or Lack Thereof)" (Note: I've included a brief introduction and reflection in the title to make it more engaging and personal.)

The Crypto Crash: Stress Test for Institutional Conviction

Hey friends, I just read an article on Medium and I'm still reeling from the news. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) just experienced its most turbulent trading day since launch, with a record-breaking $10 billion in daily trading volume. But here's the thing: this massive activity isn't about fresh adoption, it's about stress-driven exits, repositioning, and forced selling.

As Bitcoin's price plummeted, investors rushed to react, and IBIT fell 13% - its second-worst daily performance. It's clear that volatility has returned to the crypto market, and institutional conviction is being put to the test.
