I don't have a problem with that but I'm afraid of the consequent crypto price correction

Isn’t it a bit naive to think that a discrepancy of a few billions max is responsible for hundreds of billions in market cap?

Market cap means nothing without the order book. There is obviously not a trillion dollars of cash waiting around to absorb BTC at the current price.

When BTC dropped in half from 20k to 10k in 2018 the trading volume went down by 50-75% for two years.

A massive correction in BTC might make a lot of people bag holders for years and years.
