The market was affected by the slump in US stocks and a number of security accidents. Mainstream coins fell sharply, BTC's short-term implied volatility (IV) soared to 90%, and ETH even exceeded 100%. Institutions had previously predicted that the market would lack funds and hotspots in February, and large option holders continued to sell short-term and medium-term call options. The current market panic continued to spread.
