The recent Bitcoin price drop may be linked to a large, potentially Hong Kong-based, non-crypto hedge fund experiencing a liquidation event in IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) options, evidenced by IBIT's record trading volume and options premiums. This event could have been exacerbated by unwinding JPY carry trades and losses in Silver, suggesting a broader market deleveraging. Investors should monitor for potential 13F filings in mid-May for confirmation of a significant fund's IBIT holdings going to zero.
