Crypto slump worsens as Bitcoin slips amid a broad market sell-off

Crypto slump worsens as Bitcoin slips amid a broad market sell-off

The post Crypto slump worsens as Bitcoin slips amid a broad market sell-off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market’s October slump has worsened, with a 3 percent drop. Bitcoin slipped below 110,000 dollars and Ethereum fell below $3,900. The market has lost roughly $370 billion in value this month alone. The cryptocurrency market’s brutal October slump has worsened, with a fresh 3 percent drop sending Bitcoin below the key $110,000 level and dragging most major altcoins deep into the red. The broad-based drawdown is the latest chapter in one of the harshest months of the year for the digital asset space, as a potent combination of thinning institutional support, technical disruptions, and simmering macroeconomic tensions creates a powerful “risk-off” wave. The scale of the recent carnage is immense. The market has now erased roughly $370 billion in value this month alone, with as much as $19 billion in leveraged positions being liquidated. Futures open interest has also been decimated, with 65 billion dollars wiped out, resetting market activity to the levels of early 2025. Institutional support thins as ETF outflows accelerate A key driver of the recent weakness has been a dramatic and worrying reversal in institutional sentiment. After months of powerful inflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs have become a source of intense selling pressure, posting a staggering $1.23 billion in weekly net outflows. This included a massive $366 million outflow on Friday alone, a move that removed a critical layer of buying support from an already fragile market. A perfect storm: an AWS outage and a SpaceX scare This fundamental weakness was compounded by a perfect storm of technical and psychological blows. A major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) disrupted access to a number of leading crypto venues, including the US giant Coinbase and several DeFi front-ends. The disruption widened spreads and accelerated forced liquidations, with over $240 million in long positions being wiped out in just 24 hours, a move that…

Solana’s co-founder drops Percolator Perps DEX, dares devs to ‘steal’ it

Solana’s co-founder drops Percolator Perps DEX, dares devs to ‘steal’ it

The post Solana’s co-founder drops Percolator Perps DEX, dares devs to ‘steal’ it appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways What is Percolator, and why is it gaining attention? It’s a high-speed, open-source perps DEX on Solana. Yakovenko has invited developers to copy and compete with it. Is Percolator ready to launch? Not yet. Core parts are functional, but key components like liquidation are still in progress. Solana [SOL] co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko just dropped a surprise. On the 19th of October, detailed GitHub docs revealed Percolator, a decentralized perpetuals exchange (perps DEX) that Yakovenko has been building. The open-source protocol is already drawing attention… and not just for its design. What is Percolator? Percolator is built natively on the Solana blockchain, and aims to deliver lightning-fast performance through a unique “slab” system; a sharded matching engine that processes trades in parallel. Source: Github It also features on-chain tools for managing positions, tracking collateral, and calculating margin, all without relying on centralized services. It was released as an open-source, implementation-ready prototype on GitHub. Is this the next big thing? While platforms like GMX, dYdX, and Hyperliquid dominate the perpetuals trading space, Solana has yet to claim a clear leader in this $210 billion market. Percolator, with its supposed high-speed architecture and on-chain, user-focused design, has the potential to give Solana a serious edge. If it delivers on its promise of performance and capital efficiency, it could become a core piece of Solana’s DeFi stack. This would help Solana evolve into a real competitor in the perps race. Open source or open season? Here’s where it gets interesting. Percolator is openly being offered up for the community to fork, copy, and compete with. Yakovenko even encouraged developers to “steal” the idea, framing it as a push for open innovation in DeFi. The response was instant, with many submitting pull requests or announced plans to build their own versions. Source: X…

Trump’s World Liberty Advisor Exposes The October Crypto Crash

Trump’s World Liberty Advisor Exposes The October Crypto Crash

The post Trump’s World Liberty Advisor Exposes The October Crypto Crash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The October 10 crypto crash wiped out nearly $19 billion in leveraged positions within hours, shocking both traders and analysts.  In an exclusive BeInCrypto podcast, World Liberty Financial advisor and Glue.Net founder Ogle broke down what really caused one of the largest single-day collapses in recent crypto history. Sponsored Sponsored A Perfect Storm: Multiple Factors Converged According to Ogle, there was no single trigger behind the sell-off. “You don’t die from heart disease because you only ate a lot of burgers,” he said. “It’s a thousand things that come together that cause catastrophes.” He explained that the crash stemmed from a combination of liquidity shortages, over-leveraged traders, and automated sell-offs sparked by macroeconomic jitters. “In those precipitous drops, the bids to purchase simply were not there. There’s just not enough people who are interested in buying even at lower prices,” Ogle noted. He added that Donald Trump’s remarks on US–China relations amplified panic in algorithmic trading systems, triggering a wave of automated short positions that accelerated the decline. Top 10 Crypto Liquidation Events of All Time. Source: Coinglass Sponsored Sponsored Liquidity Gaps and Over-Leverage Made It Worse The advisor, who has been in crypto since 2012 and helped recover more than $500 million from hacks, pointed to over-leverage on professional exchanges as the most damaging element. Many traders used “cross margin,” a system that links all positions together — a design flaw that can wipe out entire portfolios when prices dip sharply. “My personal belief is that over-leveraging in professional exchanges is probably the most important part of it,” Ogle said. “It’s a cascade — if one position collapses, everything else goes with it.” The Centralized Exchange Dilemma Ogle criticized the community’s continued reliance on centralized exchanges (CEXs) despite repeated failures. He cited Celsius, FTX, and several smaller collapses as…

Tether officially hits 500 million users with $182 billion USDT in circulation

Tether officially hits 500 million users with $182 billion USDT in circulation

Tether CEO revealed on Tuesday that USDT has reached 500 million users, marking its upward trajectory since its launch in 2020. He believes that the milestone is a testament to the real-world impact of USDT on global financial inclusion. Tether has been making efforts to expand digital dollar access in emerging markets, where USDT helps in remittances and payments in developing countries. The stablecoin issuer has also maintained efforts for USDT grassroots adoption, engaging with communities to integrate the stablecoin into everyday financial activities. Tether plans to launch another dollar-backed stablecoin Bloomberg reported last month that Tether is planning to raise approximately $20 billion at a valuation of around $500 billion, representing about 3% of the company. The initiative would make the stablecoin issuer one of the most valuable private companies globally, alongside high-tech companies like OpenAI and SpaceX. On-chain data revealed that USDT’s stablecoin supply is at around $182 billion. Circle’s USDC follows with about $75 billion of stablecoin in circulation. “Programmable money is the ultimate social network. A peer-to-peer construct that transports both information and value.” –Paolo Ardoino, Founder and CEO of Tether. Cryptopolitan previously reported that Tether, based in El Salvador, plans to launch a dollar-backed stablecoin, USAT, designed for the U.S. market. Bo Hines, CEO of Tether’s newly-established U.S. arm, mentioned at a conference in Seoul that the company doesn’t plan to raise money for the initiative. Instead, the transaction would include new equity rather than existing investors selling their shares to raise capital.  The El Salvador-based firm has faced scrutiny for not providing a full independent audit on its stablecoin balance sheet, but has released quarterly attestations signed by BDO Italia. Ardoino hinted that obtaining a review from the top audit firms, including Deloitte, EY, PwC, or KPMG, is a top priority for the company. Tether also reported a record quarterly net profit of $4.9 billion in Q2, surpassing its previous net profit record of $4.52 billion set during the first quarter of 2024. The stablecoin issuer maintained that it’s among the largest holders of U.S. government debt globally, and its milestone also followed the U.S.’s decisive steps to establish stablecoin rules through the introduction of the GENIUS Act. Stablecoin legislation expands USDT’s presence Ardoino was present as U.S. President Donald Trump was signing the stablecoin legislation, which creates a federal regulatory framework for fiat-pegged tokens. The bill requires stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. dollars or similarly liquid assets, and it also mandates annual audits for issuers with a market capitalization exceeding $50 billion. The new stablecoin legislation has led more traditional banks to start planning the launch of their own dollar-backed digital assets. Financial institutions co-owned by JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are among the top traditional banks threatening Tether’s dominance in the stablecoin market. Ardonio told Bloomberg that those competitors might surpass Tether in the short term in the U.S., but he believes that the USDT issuer has better technology. He argued that Tether has a much better understanding of the stablecoin market than any other company. Tether’s CEO also maintained that the firm does not plan to go public like its competitor, Circle. Tether has had a different trajectory in Europe after the implementation of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The regulation instructed exchanges across the region to stop offering stablecoins that are not compliant with the new rules by April 2025. The rules affected Tether’s USDT since it doesn’t meet MiCA’s regulatory requirements. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) allowed stablecoin issuers to use their digital assets for a limited period until March 2025. The initiative led to major exchanges removing USDT pairs, causing its market share to drop from 70% in November 2024 to nearly 60% by October 2025. Want your project in front of crypto’s top minds?

Coinbase Acquires Echo for $375 Million to Expand Onchain Fundraising

Coinbase Acquires Echo for $375 Million to Expand Onchain Fundraising

The post Coinbase Acquires Echo for $375 Million to Expand Onchain Fundraising appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The deal adds Echo’s community-based capital raising tools to Coinbase’s growing on-chain infrastructure stack. Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based centralized crypto exchange (CEX), announced on Tuesday that it has acquired blockchain fundraising platform Echo in a deal valued at approximately $375 million in cash and stock. The acquisition aims to connect crypto builders with community capital and give users access to new investment opportunities. Echo was co-founded by crypto investor Jordan “Cobie” Fish, who also co-founded the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Lido. In a podcast with Blockworks, Shan Aggarwal, Coinbase’s chief business officer, said the acquisition gives Coinbase the components and capability to “rebuild the capital market stack from end to end” and “provide all of those different pieces within the coinbase product suite.” Aggarwal added that Cobie will also be joining Coinbase as an employee, though he did not elaborate on his role or how long he will remain with the company. Since its launch, Echo has facilitated over $200 million in fundraising across roughly 300 deals, according to a company announcement. Coinbase said it plans to integrate Echo’s Sonar platform for public token sales. The deal expands Coinbase’s presence in token fundraising and builds on its July acquisition of Liquifi – a platform that helps projects create tokens, manage ownership, and maintain regulatory compliance for Coinbase Prime users. “Onchain capital formation is a vital and unique part of the crypto ecosystem,” Coinbase CEO and co-founder Brian Armstrong said in a post on X. “Excited to be adding Echo and Sonar to Coinbase to give our customers new token access opportunities.” Meanwhile, Cobie reflected on the sale in a separate post on X. “I certainly didn’t think Echo would be sold to Coinbase, but here we are,” the founder wrote. “The job’s not finished. Onwards.” Coinbase did not immediately respond…
