Aave’s new neobank-style app signals how far decentralised finance has moved toward everyday users, while flows into SOL products, growing ETH deposits on Aave, and fresh USDC issuance show renewed demand for yield. At the same time, security events, airdrop dynamics and policy shifts remind investors that risk management still matters more than headline rates.

The first US exchange traded product linked to Dogecoin arrived with more whimper than roar, recording roughly 1.4 million dollars in first–day volume. Behind the quiet launch of Grayscale Dogecoin Trust lies a bigger story about how investors really approach non-Bitcoin crypto ETFs.

Bitmine, led by Tom Lee, is quietly building the world’s largest Ethereum treasury, with an average entry near $4,000 and a long-term ambition to hold 5% of ETH’s circulating supply. On paper the position is deeply underwater, yet the firm continues to add on drawdowns. This pattern is less about trying to time the market and more about building a balance-sheet level conviction trade that could shape ETH’s ownership structure for years.

A Solana memecoin landing on Switzerland’s main stock exchange, a former US president floating the idea of eliminating income tax, and new regulatory milestones for RLUSD and XRP all hit the tape within 24 hours. Taken together, they show a market where memes, macro and regulation are colliding in ways that matter far beyond the day’s price moves.

Speculation that economist Kevin Hassett could eventually replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair has revived an old debate: how much does the person at the top of the Fed matter for the dollar, inflation and asset prices? Hassett’s openly supportive stance toward lower interest rates is being read as a potential source of pressure on the US dollar — and a structural tailwind for risk assets, including crypto.

In the last 24 hours Bitcoin reclaimed $91,000, Ether traded around $3,000 and total crypto market value rose 2.7% to $3.17 trillion—while more than 100,000 traders were liquidated. This piece unpacks how shifting Fed expectations and a leverage flush can drive such sharp moves.

In one day, Grayscale filed for what could be the first Zcash ETF, Bitcoin reclaimed the $91,000 level, Franklin Templeton advanced a Solana ETF, and regulators in Bangkok told Worldcoin to pause operations. Behind the headlines is a clear theme: crypto is being pulled simultaneously toward regulated wrappers, institutional rails and tougher oversight.

Within a single day, a cluster of large wallets opened leveraged long positions on niche altcoins and accumulated tens of millions of tokens off-exchange. To many observers it looks like an aggressive pump. A closer look at liquidity, incentives and on-chain activity shows a more nuanced picture of how whales actually use illiquid markets.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency is preparing a proposal that would require crypto exchanges to maintain mandatory compensation reserves for users in case of security incidents or security failures. The move fits into a broader push to treat digital-asset platforms more like systemically important financial infrastructure, not experimental start-ups.

VanEck’s updated S-1 for a spot BNB ETF, Texas buying Bitcoin for its strategic reserve, and a flurry of infrastructure deals paint a picture of crypto moving deeper into mainstream financial plumbing — even as the asset class remains volatile and policy-dependent.

Crypto ETPs logged their third-worst weekly outflows since 2018 even as Trump’s AI-focused Genesis Mission, Fed rate-cut rhetoric and a flurry of token-specific headlines reshaped the macro backdrop.

The world’s largest known Solana treasury is sitting on a paper loss of roughly 45%, after accumulating more than 6.8 million SOL at an average price around $232. In contrast, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin speculative position – still heavily in the green despite the latest correction – highlights just how differently blue-chip assets and high-beta altcoins react to the same macro storm. This article digs into what the Forward Industries drawdown really means for Solana, for corporate treasuries using crypto, and for everyday investors who tend to put institutional wallets on a pedestal.

Aerodrome and Velodrome suffered front-end compromises, Port3 was abused a security vulnerability, and worries about North Korean infiltration resurfaced – all in a single news cycle. At the same time, new infrastructure like Monad and Zcash listings show that builders are still pushing forward. This report looks beyond the headlines to analyse what the latest 24 hours really say about DeFi security, institutional appetite and the evolving macro narrative around crypto.

Even after a 30–40% drawdown, traders kept trying to long the dip — until the market delivered a liquidation wave comparable to the FTX collapse of November 2022. We unpack what the latest spike in long liquidations really means, why it says more about market structure than about "whales dumping", and how a professional desk would position around it.

Ki Young Ju, CEO of on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant, has warned that shorting Bitcoin in the current environment may be a poor risk-reward speculative position. While leveraged traders are being washed out, he argues that spot investors are looking at a reasonable long-term accumulation zone as global liquidity quietly returns. We break down the macro context, the on-chain evidence behind that view and what it means for different types of market participants.

The NVT Golden Cross for Bitcoin has dropped deep into its undervalued zone, even as price trades around 85,000 USD after a brutal correction. Historically, such readings have coincided with late-stage shakeouts where short-term holders capitulate while long-term capital quietly accumulates. We break down what this signal really measures, how reliable it has been, and how a professional desk would use it without falling into the leverage trap.

Coinbase has announced the acquisition of Vector.fun, an on-chain trading platform built on Solana, at the same time the market digests US scrutiny of Bitmain, index risk for MicroStrategy, a live Cardano attack, and another wave of ETF and stablecoin milestones. Under the noise of daily headlines, a clear pattern is emerging: exchanges are becoming intent routers for global liquidity, spanning regulated ETFs, institutional stablecoins and high-throughput chains like Solana.

On-chain data show short-term Bitcoin holders sending more than 68,500 BTC to exchanges in loss within a single day – the third such spike in just a few sessions. For many newcomers who bought near the top, this is a painful capitulation. For experienced investors, it may be exactly the kind of panic that often appears near the end of a severe correction, though not a guarantee that the bottom is in.

Bitcoin ETFs have just posted an all-time high trading volume of 11.5 billion USD in a single session, with BlackRock’s IBIT alone accounting for roughly 8 billion USD. Far from being a mere headline, this milestone shows how spot ETFs now function as a powerful liquidity valve: they absorb shocks when volatility spikes, channel institutional capital and increasingly shape how Bitcoin trades as a global asset.

Roughly 2 billion USD in derivatives positions were wiped out in 24 hours as Bitcoin slid toward 81,000 USD, while a long-term whale reportedly exited a 1.3 billion USD position accumulated since 2011. At the same time, futures flipped into backwardation and funding turned negative, signalling deep fear and defensive positioning. Is this the start of a structural breakdown, or a textbook late-cycle shakeout that long-term investors will later call an opportunity?

U.S. equities flipped from green to red, erasing roughly 1 trillion dollars in market value, while Bitcoin slid to the low 80,000s with about 1.9 billion dollars in leveraged positions liquidated. Altcoins bled across the board, yet on-chain and project news showed a very different picture: new L2s, tokenized assets, a proposed XRP ETF and state-backed stablecoins continued to move forward. This divergence between price action and structural progress is exactly where serious analysis is needed.

Over just a few weeks Bitcoin has fallen roughly 32% from around 126,000 USD to below 86,000 USD. At the same time, a major spot ETF reportedly saw redemptions of more than 500 million USD while futures open interest grew by about 36,000 BTC with funding still elevated. That cocktail of ETF outflows, crowded longs and macro uncertainty is turning the current move into a classic liquidity trap. This article unpacks how we got here, why the situation is dangerous, and what professional traders watch next.

In the last 24 hours, an estimated 226,851 traders saw their positions forcibly closed, with total liquidations approaching $955.84 million. Bybit, Hyperliquid and Binance handled the bulk of these forced unwinds, while a single $30.91 million BTC-USDT position on HTX became the largest individual wipeout. Beyond the shock value of the numbers, this kind of event is a textbook example of how leverage, market structure and trader psychology interact in the modern crypto derivatives ecosystem.

Today’s US jobs report arrives in a fragile macro environment: private trackers hint at a softer labour market while the official consensus sits higher. A headline NFP around 53k with wage growth slowing to 0.2% paints a nuanced picture—strong enough to avoid a hard-landing narrative, but weak enough to ease fears of further Fed tightening. The first reaction will be classic risk-on, yet for Bitcoin the real story is still the 88k–83k liquidity zone below and the 97–98k resistance band above.

Fresh flow data suggest US Bitcoin ETFs have been selling more BTC in a few sessions than Mt. Gox is expected to distribute over comparable periods. In other words, the heaviest marginal seller in this market is not a decade-old bankruptcy estate but regulated Wall Street vehicles. At the same time, BlackRock advances an Ethereum staking trust, tokenization platforms win European approval, and derivatives protocols double down on degen culture. The last 24 hours encapsulate a market that is being de-levered at the surface even as its institutional foundations deepen.

The Federal Reserve’s October meeting minutes reveal that many FOMC officials see no need to cut rates again in 2025, even as markets had been pricing a better-than-even chance of a December move. We break down what the minutes actually say, why the Fed remains cautious, how the odds of a December cut slid from above 51% to around 33%, and what this shift means for bonds, equities, and digital assets.

A flagship plan to build Asia’s largest Ethereum treasury—targeting $1 billion and backed by some of the region’s earliest ETH investors—has been abruptly paused, with the initial $200 million raised reportedly returned to backers. Is this a sign that Asian Web3 capital is capitulating, or a disciplined reset before the next structural leg of adoption?

After a 43-day government shutdown that froze key data releases, the US is finally set to publish nonfarm payrolls, unemployment and initial claims again. With inflation assumed to be near 3% and the implied probability of a third Fed rate cut in December having collapsed from above 90% to around 44%, this single batch of labor data has been recast as a potential king-maker for policy. We break down what really matters, how the Fed might read it, and why investors should be wary of treating one report as gospel after a prolonged blackout.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju argues that if Bitcoin’s current cycle continues to rhyme with history, this bear phase could find its ultimate bottom around $56,000. His view rests on shrinking futures order sizes, whales stepping aside, profit-taking at scale and a critical support level near $94,000. We unpack the data, the logic and the risks of taking that target too literally.

Trillions of dollars are now riding on two tightly linked technologies: AI and crypto. Some analysts say their combined weight already rivals a quarter of global GDP and warn that, together, they form the most dangerous speculative and structural speculative position in modern history. Are AI and crypto a twin bubble waiting to burst, or the early architecture of a new economic order?
