In accordance with Cryptofrontnews, the October 10, 2025, market crash was triggered by MSCI’s consultation on reclassifying crypto-focused companies as funds, potentially removing them from global indices. The move caused steep losses for firms like MicroStrategy, which saw its stock drop 50% amid fears of index exclusion and passive fund outflows. MSCI’s decision, expected on January 15, 2026, could set a precedent for other index providers and affect Digital Asset Treasury firms.
