Risk in general is related to the uncertainty of a future event and can be in a wide range of areas, such as the risk of becoming ill or suffering an injury when carrying out an activity, the risk of a cell phone ending up breaking or being stolen when going out on the street. There are many risks that we suffer simply by being alive and when making any decision. After all, every time you decide to do something, you have decided not to do something else, whether because of the reward or the risks present.
When we talk about financial risks, we also have a wide variety of possible options within this category. When purchasing an asset you are subject to systemic risk, which would be a general problem, such as a war that will end up indirectly impacting your asset, or a sector risk, for example in the case of cryptos the fall of bitcoin has a great impact and finally the risk of the project itself, which is always the most impactful, because it has a chance of taking the value placed to zero.
Come and discover one of these financial risks of 2025, which few were considering in the crypto market!

[ENGLISH VERSION]
“Flash Crash” Day!
For many in the crypto market, October 10, 2025 will go down in history. The cryptocurrency market was experiencing great hype, with Bitcoin surpassing maximum after maximum, it seemed that the year would end in an incredible way for all projects related to the crypto sector, as its biggest indicator, which pulls liquidity into the market, bitcoin, was surpassing itself. Expert forecasts predicted an end of the year of around 150 to 200 thousand dollars. However, many did not know what was to come around mid-October of that same year.
The big milestone for the crypto sector has arrived strong. On October 6th/7th, Bitcoin broke yet another high reaching a value above $124 thousand dollars, each unit of BTC, which made the next drop have an even greater impact. A few days after market players were excited about another historic high, on October 10th the situation changed completely. In just a few minutes the market value of 1 Bitcoin fell by more than 10%.
The Hidden Risk - MarketMakers
This unexpected drop caused many investors and especially marketmakers to liquidate. Around 19 billion dollars were liquidated in 24 hours, and the worst was the loss of marketcap, which was almost half a trillion. From then on, the price of this crypto continued to fall until at the end of November it reached a low of close to 80 thousand dollars and since then it has been traded between $85k and $90k.
The hidden risk that few crypto market participants considered became very evident on October 10th. Market Markers are users - perhaps companies - who are responsible for providing liquidity to the market by buying and selling various cryptos so that users always have someone to sell to at any time. However, due to the sharp drop on October 10th, several marketmarkers were affected, causing liquidity in some brokers to be very low and causing large price fluctuations.
An example of one of these major fluctuations and risks that everyone in the hive suffered was precisely on that day. When there was a lack of liquidity in brokers, the prices of several cryptos fell to unimaginable values. Hive for a short time was traded below the blockchain's haircut line, at values close to $0.03. Thus, a risk that few considered proved to exist for several people. So everyone who was in the market that day suffered, without a doubt, one of the biggest risks of 2025!
Luckily, the problem was quickly resolved and the amounts are gradually being recovered. But there was a chance that the problem would end up escalating, that people would panic and widespread chaos would occur and take over the entire market. Will we have more “surprises” like this in 2026?
