Dragonfly Partner: Market Reaction to This Binance Hack Incident Is Far More Stable Than During the FTX Collapse

Veteran crypto industry investors compare the differing market performances of two major industry risk events<p>Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner at Dragonfly, pointed out that the losses caused by this recent hack on Binance slightly exceeded 6 billion USD, a figure that is only roughly 25% smaller than the funding shortfall during the FTX collapse in dollar terms, yet the overall market performance is far better than that observed during the FTX bankruptcy period.</p><p>Following the incident, the entire crypto market only declined by a few percentage points, with very limited capital outflows from exchanges. Dip-buying capital even entered the market concurrently to absorb selling pressure, and there was no panic-driven stampede sell-off that characterized the earlier FTX event. The prices of altcoins directly associated with the incident have also largely stabilized, with no sharp unilateral downward trend.</p><p>A broad market consensus has formed that Binance will fully repurchase all user assets affected by this attack using its own capital, and this expectation has effectively eliminated investors' core concerns.</p><p>Binance officials have also publicly stated that the recovery process for affected assets has been initiated. The platform is collaborating with global law enforcement agencies, relevant token issuers, blockchain intelligence service providers, and industry-wide partners to trace and freeze the stolen funds, and has publicly committed to fully compensate users for all related losses.</p>

CryptoQuant Founder: Coinbase Premium Drops to 4-Year Low

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted on the X platform stating that the Coinbase Premium Index has fallen to a 4-year low. The last time the index reached such a low level was after the FTX collapse in November 2022, when BTC was at its cyclical bottom. Ki Young Ju believes that current market sentiment has turned sufficiently bearish to constitute a bullish signal. The Coinbase Premium Index is commonly used to gauge the strength of buying demand from U.S. investors.

Approximately $590 Million in BTC Block Option Trades Executed Within 8 Hours Post Binance Security Incident, Dominated by Bearish Puts

Large-scale put option transactions were concentrated in the narrow window immediately following the event<p>In the 8 hours after the abnormal fund outflow incident from Binance's wallets, the total notional trading volume of BTC block options on the Paradigm platform reached approximately $590 million, accounting for half of the BTC block option trading volume on the Deribit platform over the same period. The overall capital flow exhibited a distinctly bearish bias, with put options as the dominant underlying trading instrument.</p><p>The first large bearish put transaction emerged roughly 15 minutes after the initial fund outflow from Binance's wallets, at a time when relevant information had not yet been disclosed to the public. A buyer purchased 250 put options with an expiration date of October 31 and a strike price of $78,000. During the hour of highest trading activity, the market also completed two separate block put transactions of 1,000 contracts each. These options expire in mid-November with a strike price of $74,000, and the combined notional value of the two trades totals approximately $155 million.</p><p>Paradigm's analysis notes that this concentrated wave of put option buying primarily features strike prices clustered in the $74,000 to $78,000 range, a band that closely matched BTC's spot price at the time of the incident. Traders' core objective was predominantly to hedge against short-term market pullback risks, rather than betting on an extreme crash in Bitcoin's price.</p>
