Following the event, digital asset trading firm STS Digital has issued a warning about potential price turbulence, cautioning investors that Bitcoin could experience sharp fluctuations.
According to a report from Coindesk, STS Digital expects BTC to swing by approximately $5,000 in either direction after the summit.
Jeff Anderson, STS Digital’s head of Asia, pointed to Deribit options data, which signals that traders are preparing for heightened volatility across multiple assets, including Ethereum and Solana.
He noted that options markets are showing increased tension and reduced liquidity ahead of the weekend.

Solana has staged an impressive rebound, surging past the $170 mark after a robust 11% daily move.
