The post Why the Crypto Crash on Oct 10 Was No Accident… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Let’s be real — nobody understood why the entire crypto market nuked on October 10 and why every bounce attempt since then has been completely dead. The crash felt random, brutal, and way too synchronized. But now?Yeah… now the reason looks painfully obvious. Here’s the breakdown of what really went down — and why the next big date to watch is January 15, 2026. 1. DAT Stocks Have Been Secretly Powering This Whole Cycle Companies like MSTR, BMNR, and other DATs (Digital Asset Treasury companies) have been one of the two major buyers driving this crypto bull run. And their game is simple: They buy crypto → they get bigger → they get added to major indices → index funds are forced to buy their stock → cycle repeats. It’s basically a recursive pump machine. 2. But the Indexing Game Has One Huge Vulnerability These companies rely on one thing to keep working: ➡️ They must be treated as “companies,” not “funds.” Because if they’re labeled as “funds,” then passive index trackers can’t include them.Why?Because it creates a circular loop that index rules do NOT allow: fund buys crypto fund market cap rises fund gets indexed fund buys more crypto because of inflows endless loop Index companies hate this. 3. And Then Came the Bombshell — October 10 On exactly October 10, MSCI (the world’s second-largest index provider) dropped a quiet nuclear headline: They’re reviewing whether crypto-holding companies like MSTR should be reclassified as “funds.” Not companies.Not tech stocks.Not corporates.Funds. If this happens, they get immediately kicked out of every passive index on earth. That includes: pension funds retirement funds ETFs all passive index trackers And all of them would be forced to dump MSTR instantly. 4. Smart Money Saw This First — And Dumped Early Right after the MSCI…
