During the third quarter, the fund <\/span>gradually reduced allocations to cryptocurrencies<\/b> within strategies focused on holding and trading altcoins. This approach proved crucial in <\/span>mitigating the impact of the liquidation cascade<\/b> that hit the market during the night of October 10\u201311.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Within just two hours, more than <\/span>$19 billion in leveraged futures positions<\/b> were liquidated, causing a temporary drop in altcoin prices by <\/span>35% to 99%<\/b>. The initial sell-off was triggered by an <\/span>escalation of the trade conflict between the U.S. and China<\/b>, which caused panic across the market. The <\/span>excess of leveraged positions<\/b> combined with <\/span>faulty USDE stablecoin quotations<\/b> on certain major exchanges led to a <\/span>liquidation spiral<\/b>, pushing the prices of some cryptocurrencies on futures markets nearly to zero.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A sharp rebound followed shortly after, with most cryptocurrencies <\/span>recovering to 70\u201390% of their previous levels<\/b>.

We can confirm that<\/span> our fund did not experience any liquidations. <\/b>Instead, the fund<\/span> benefited from the liquidation events of other market participants <\/b>– specifically by <\/span>providing USDC liquidity<\/b> on the decentralized exchange <\/span>Hyperliquid<\/b>, which resulted in a <\/span>short-term capital appreciation of approximately 10%<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
