“Over-leveraging is the prime reason for all market blow-ups. Leverage has the potential to turn a reasonably good investment into disastrous gambling.” Naved Abdali, author of ‘Investing: Hopes, Hypes and Heartbreaks’.
Synopsis
Volatility has snapped back in November with BTC down -20% for the month, whilst the overall market is down around -25%. This drawdown has been driven by the liquidity run on the FTX exchange that was initiated by competitor Binance. The run on FTX forced prices of all cryptocurrencies and digital assets materially lower as positions had to be liquidated. The declining prices further forced any leverage to be unwound and also encouraged speculators to short the market.
