IBIT's trading volume surged to $10.7 billion today, marking a new record nearly double the previous high. According to Odaily, the options trading volume also hit a record $900 million. Recent declines in IBIT may be linked to a major trader, speculated to be one or more non-crypto hedge funds based in Hong Kong. These funds, operating outside the crypto sector, have gone unnoticed by the crypto community. It is suggested that these funds might be engaging in leveraged options trading on IBIT using capital borrowed in yen. Losses in other trades, such as silver, could have led to the liquidation of their leveraged positions following the drop in BTC. Parker noted that there is no concrete evidence to support this theory, and it remains speculative based on partial clues.

India's central bank governor, Sanjay Malhotra, clarified on Friday that the country has not sold its U.S. Treasury holdings. According to Jin10, Malhotra addressed the media following a monetary policy conference, stating, "Our foreign exchange reserves have decreased, leading to changes in all holdings. These fluctuations are disclosed daily or weekly, but there is no reduction in U.S. Treasury holdings." Data released by the U.S. government in January indicated that India's long-term U.S. Treasury holdings fell to $174 billion by November, marking a five-year low and a 26% drop from the 2023 peak. This reduction occurred as the Reserve Bank of India intensified efforts to support the weakening rupee. India's move to reduce U.S. debt holdings comes amid a broader trend of major economies gradually withdrawing from the world's largest bond market, driven by growing concerns over the "American exceptionalism" narrative. Malhotra's comments coincided with U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lower tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 18%.
