According to @ItsDave_ADA, a sandwich bot on Solana front-ran a ~196.46 SOL to AOL swap on Raydium and then back-ran it, extracting 22.1858 SOL profit within a single block in under a second, with ~118 SOL used and ~140.18 SOL returned, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Jan 8, 2026.

For traders, this example indicates active MEV on Solana DEX order flow and shows that large market swaps on Raydium can face slippage and adverse price impact from front-running, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Jan 8, 2026. He also notes the UI label showed PEPSI incorrectly and says the details were validated via on-chain explorers, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Jan 8, 2026.

According to @BullTheoryio, on October 10 MSCI (originally a Morgan Stanley division) proposed removing Digital Asset Treasury Companies like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet from its global indexes, a move that could force passive selling and reduce institutional Bitcoin exposure, source: @BullTheoryio. According to @BullTheoryio, minutes after the proposal Bitcoin dropped nearly $18,000 and over $900 billion was erased from total crypto market cap, source: @BullTheoryio. According to @BullTheoryio, the consultation ran until December 31, creating a three‑month overhang where passive investors avoided exposure, index-linked funds faced forced-selling risk, prices stayed weak, sentiment collapsed, and BTC fell about 31% in what they describe as the worst quarter since 2018, source: @BullTheoryio. According to @BullTheoryio, from January 1 Bitcoin rallied roughly 8% in the first five days of 2026 from $87,500 to $94,800 without new bullish news, suggesting selling pressure eased and potential insider positioning, source: @BullTheoryio. According to @BullTheoryio, on January 5–6 Morgan Stanley filed for spot BTC, ETH, and SOL ETFs and MSCI said it would not remove the crypto-heavy companies, effectively withdrawing the rule that had pressured markets, source: @BullTheoryio. According to @BullTheoryio, this sequence fits a pattern—create pressure, accumulate at lows, launch product, remove pressure—positioning beneficiaries for the rebound, while noting there is no official confirmation of coordination, source: @BullTheoryio. According to @BullTheoryio, with the overhang gone and institutional products filed, liquidity is returning and the rebound setup favors BTC and crypto-exposed equities such as MSTR and Metaplanet in the near term, source: @BullTheoryio.
