A User was behind this spike, according to Binance
In the report, the cryptocurrency exchange Binance says that several orders were placed by only a single user on BTCUSD 0925 Quarterly Futures contract within a short duration of time on its platform. This caused the price for quarterly futures to go high to 99,964 USD on Binance.

“A single user placed a large number of orders over a very short period of time on the BTCUSD 0925 Quarterly Futures contract, resulting in a large candle wick up to 99,964 USD and a stretch of the K-line chart for all quarterly futures users.”
The company, later on, claimed to adjust to the quarterly futures’ K-line after receiving feedback from the community.
