The volatility-control estimate covered a 24-to-48-hour window and did not quantify crypto sales or price effects.
A Barclays Equities Tactical Strategies model projected that volatility-control funds could reduce equity exposure by about 30 percentage points, potentially prompting roughly $135 billion in U.S. equity futures sales.
The model projected potential sales over a 24-to-48-hour period. The figure was a model estimate, not confirmation that the trades took place.
The estimate covers equity futures and does not quantify crypto sales or digital-asset price effects. TokenPost previously examined Bitcoin’s exposure to the same selloff.
