"within 25 minutes of receiving reports that hackers were stealing funds from user wallets, the IOTA Foundation shut down "Coordinator," a node in the IOTA network that puts the final seal of approval on any IOTA currency transactions."

Hard for the price to crash when they shut down the network 25 minutes after the hack.

Trading on exchanges can still theoretically continue, it's just deposits and withdrawals that won't work.

You must understand that people holding IOTA after the last network halt (which was ~45 days ago), aren't very bright.
