Such rumors can cause fragmented liquidity spikes across exchanges and ETF-related products (e.g., trust shares, ETNs). Arbitrageurs exploit price discrepancies between spot BTC, ETF proxies, and futures, which helps converge prices but also increases short-term volatility. Traders should monitor cross-exchange spreads and funding rates; deploy cash-and-carry or reverse cash-and-carry strategies only if execution costs (fees, slippage) are manageable.
