People reacted in so irrational ways to any BTC news related to crypto (the "this is good for bitcoin" meme), that I am not sure if it would crash the price. On hte other hand a "bank run" on attacked exchange is likely. And the victim of attack will almost always be the exchange. BTW no matter what crypto fans claim ("code is law") getting anything from a service and then canceling transaction that paid for it by 51% attack will be a criminal act under many jurisdictions. Considering that shorting crypto is probably better solution. Thought I am not sure if it is even possible to borrow required amount of coins.
