#数字资产市场动态 The crypto world staged a bizarre drama during Christmas week. On Wednesday evening, Bitcoin suddenly plummeted in a specific stablecoin trading pair—from $87,600 straight down to $24,100, then rebounded within seconds to above $87,000. The entire process saw a fluctuation of nearly 70%. Industry experts pointed out that this flash crash was mainly caused by liquidity exhaustion in that trading pair, not a trend-driven decline.
Ironically, during the same period, traditional financial markets were thriving. The US stock Christmas rally was hot, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high, and gold was even more aggressive—year-to-date gains exceeding 70%, nearly approaching historical highs. In contrast, $BTC and $ETH not only missed out on this holiday bonus, but spot ETFs continued to bleed. Bitcoin's annual decline has exceeded 7%, and the "safe-haven" attribute of digital assets has completely failed at year-end.
High-volatility assets chose to "lie flat" at the end of the year, making Christmas night uncertain for crypto investors. The market is telling a story: while traditional assets shine, the crypto world is struggling with liquidity and confidence.

70% volatility instant rebound, is this our "hedging asset"? That's hilarious, might as well just buy gold.

70% volatility? That's called a liquidity problem? That's hilarious. Why doesn't anyone ask what happened on the trading pair side?

Liquidity exhaustion dares to cause a flash crash? Laughable, this trading pair is so water-like.
---
70% volatility... where's my stop-loss?
---
Gold rises 70%, Bitcoin drops 7%, this comparison is truly incredible.
---
It's another liquidity issue. When will the crypto circle learn some lessons?
---
Traditional finance is celebrating, while we watch flash crashes. Is this what they call "safe-haven assets"?
---
Second-level rebound, second-level liquidation. Merry Christmas everyone.
---
Friends who got liquidated in contracts are probably already writing their wills.
---
Why does this stablecoin trading pair always have issues? Shouldn't it be checked?

70% volatility? Bro, are you riding a roller coaster or trading...
---
It's the liquidity issue again, always the same excuse every day. When will the crypto world grow up?
---
Gold rose 70%, and we're here experiencing a flash crash. Truly ironic.
---
Spot ETF losing value, BTC down 7% annually... Is this really a safe-haven asset? Laughs.
---
Second-level rebound? I bet five bucks someone got liquidated.
---
Why do stablecoin trading pairs always have issues? The liquidity must be so terrible.
---
Crypto market relaxing on Christmas, traditional finance partying hard, the contrast is indeed huge.
---
From 24,100 to 87,000? A liquidation feast, there's always someone losing big.
---
"Safe-haven attributes failed," what were we thinking back then? Haha.
---
Wait, with this 70% volatility, hasn't anyone asked why only this trading pair?

It's the liquidity issue again, I'm tired of hearing about it. A true second-level rebound, this kind of trading is unplayable.
