According to Cas Abbé, market crashes accelerate not due to panic but because selling becomes unavoidable, triggered by liquidations and forced exits. Abbé outlines a sequence where funding spikes, liquidity thins, correlations rise, and prices drop. Traditional systems react at the price drop stage, while Cortex technology intervenes earlier, at funding and liquidity phases. This shift enables DeFi to evolve from reactive strategies to adaptive systems, potentially creating mechanisms to assess whether trades should occur at all.
