Crypto tanked today because Trump threatened massive new tariffs on Chinese goods after China imposed new export controls on rare earth metals. The market freaked: Bitcoin dumped from $122K to $111K, and ETH, SOL, and XRP all cratered even harder—classic risk-off, with stocks tied to crypto (COIN, HOOD, MSTR) also getting whacked. Add in the usual leveraged liquidations and some CTA panic-selling, and you get a good old-fashioned bloodbath. In short: macro saber-rattling, trade war escalation, and everyone ran for the exits at once. That’s your culprit—no mystery, just geopolitics and leverage doing what they do best. Source: CoinDesk

BLUF:
As of Oct 10, 2025, Wintermute has not gone belly up — there’s no evidence of insolvency, halted operations, or regulatory action. The surge in chatter and DMs you’re seeing stems from a wave of rumors tying Wintermute to today’s sharp evening price swings, especially around Solana (SOL) and lingering XPL token dump accusations.
A viral thread by MartyParty accused Binance of using Wintermute to suppress SOL’s price via daily transfers. This triggered widespread community speculation and calls for audits, but no hard proof has surfaced.
Wintermute has issued no new statement today, but past denials remain consistent, and Binance publicly refuted the dumping claims.
Analysts attribute most of today’s volatility to broader market rotation and leverage dynamics, not Wintermute’s direct actions.
Financially, Wintermute remains well-capitalized (≈$720 M in assets vs $400 M equity, backed by a Bitcoin credit line) and operationally active.
👉 Bottom line: Wintermute is stable, but market rumor cycles have temporarily put it in the crosshairs amid today’s volatility — classic “blame the market maker” moment.
