Digital asset trading companies could face massive forced sell-offs ranging from $10 billion to $15 billion if MSCI proceeds with its proposed index delisting measures. The potential removal would create significant market pressure, as institutional holdings tied to these indices would need to be liquidated. This scenario represents a major systemic risk for the crypto market, particularly affecting firms with substantial DAT exposure. The forced selling could trigger cascading price declines and broader market destabilization if the proposal moves forward. Market participants are closely monitoring MSCI's final decision, as implementation could fundamentally reshape crypto asset holdings among institutional investors and create substantial short-term volatility in the sector.

MSCI's recent move is truly amazing, a forced sell-off of 1-1.5 billion? The crypto world is going to take a hit again.

Is MSCI trying to dump the market with this operation? Forced sell of 1 to 1.5 billion, institutions must be running for their lives.

MSCI's move is really sharp. With a selling pressure of 1 to 1.5 billion, institutions will have to collectively cut losses. It might even be the trigger for the next wave of sharp decline.

Here we go again, is MSCI causing trouble this time? Will a forced sell-off of 1-1.5 billion really crash the market? It always feels so intimidating every time. Institutions are playing hardball; they just clarify and clarify, while retail investors can only watch themselves get harvested. When exactly will MSCI make the announcement? The suspense is the most unbearable.

Wow, MSCI is really causing trouble. Forced sell-off of 1 to 1.5 billion? That must hurt a lot.

Another wave of institutions cutting leeks, MSCI's moves are really ruthless --- 10 to 15 billion USD directly poured in, it's a quick and satisfying bottom-fishing opportunity in the short term --- Delisting? Ha, that's just the traditional financial rules, I saw this coming a long time ago --- Institutional holdings liquidation, retail investors can actually buy the dip, it all depends on who reacts faster --- Systemic risk? Forget it, it's just another piece of FUD --- It feels like MSCI just wants to give the crypto market a deep reshuffle, clearing out projects that aren't strong enough --- Forced selling begins, it will be tough in the short term, but that's part of normal game theory

Now MSCI is about to cause trouble, dumping 1-1.5 billion? Institutions are going to cry --- Delisting this move is really clever, once the chain reaction starts, no one can escape --- Wait, is this trying to push institutions out? That's a bit harsh --- Stay tuned +1, this decision could directly change this year's trend --- Forced selling is coming, it might get chaotic in the short term --- For companies with large DAT exposure, this wave is really tough, need to find ways to hedge --- The term systemic risk is out, it's no surprise the market can't stay calm --- Another "institution awakening" drama, just the old routine --- Will there really be a delisting? Feels like a test --- Once the number 1 billion comes out, the community will definitely blow up tonight

If MSCI really pushes forward with this move, our group of retail investors better be mentally prepared... A selling scale of 1 billion to 1.5 billion, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. When institutions buy the dip, we get cut; when they want to run, we still have to help carry the sedan chair. This is the market. Wait, if they delist, isn't that a de facto admission of crypto compliance? I feel a bit confused about MSCI's logic... Forget it, anyway, us MEV victims have already been squeezed enough. Another round of forced selling isn't a big deal.
