How Does a Sudden, Extreme Market Event Affect the Fund’s Rebuilding Timeline?

A sudden, extreme market event, such as a flash crash, can severely prolong the rebuilding timeline. If the event causes a massive deficit, the fund may be completely drained, and subsequent volatility will likely trigger ADL frequently.

This makes it harder to collect surplus from liquidations, forcing the exchange to rely more heavily on proprietary capital injections.
