Market makers like Wintermute ceased trading amid Bitcoin crash, $19 billion liquidation

Wintermute and LO:TECH momentarily halted trading during last week’s Bitcoin crash due to broken internal trading protocols. This disruption was in response to a rapid market meltdown triggered by external factors like tariff threats.

The pause in trading has critical implications for market liquidity and stability, heightening price volatility. Experts noted it resulted in reduced liquidity, affecting the long-term health of crypto markets as leveraged positions were liquidated.
