The more unusual angle is in the market structure behind the move: futures volume stands at $44.94 billion, while spot volume is just $2.94 billion. That gap suggests Ethereum is seeing far…

The drawdown comes amid a broad risk asset sell-off that has seen the broader CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index lose 4.6% of its value in the same period. The exploit, which occurred on March 16, didn’t appear to impact $XVS prices until analysis showed major holders, including wallets linked to Justin Sun, moving large amounts to exchanges.
