According to @CryptoMichNL, an October 10 crypto market crash saw double‑digit losses within minutes and billions in positions wiped out while MN Fund posted its most profitable single day using a spot‑only, no‑leverage volatility strategy, source: @CryptoMichNL and MN Fund on X, Jan 12, 2026. According to @CryptoMichNL, pre‑placed bids in BTC and altcoins were filled during the cascade, turning the drawdown into opportunistic entries rather than forced exits, source: @CryptoMichNL on X, Jan 12, 2026. According to @CryptoMichNL, MN Fund states normal daily volatility for ETH is about 3.5% but spiked 4–10x on October 10, creating ideal conditions for a volatility strategy to monetize dislocations, source: MN Fund via @CryptoMichNL on X, Jan 12, 2026.
