Liquidation

Liquidation occurs when a trader’s collateral is no longer sufficient to cover their leveraged position’s losses, triggering an automated forced closure by the exchange's liquidation engine. It is a critical risk-management mechanism that ensures the solvency of lending protocols and derivative platforms. In 2026, the focus has moved toward MEV-resistant liquidation models that protect users from predatory "cascades." This tag provides essential information on maintenance margins, health factors, and how to avoid liquidation in high-volatility environments.

BitMine Goes on ‘$827M Aggressive’ ETH Buying Spree After Crypto Market Crash

BitMine Goes on ‘$827M Aggressive’ ETH Buying Spree After Crypto Market Crash

BitMine Immersion Technologies has launched one of the largest Ethereum accumulation moves in corporate history, purchasing over $827 million worth of ETH during the recent crypto market crash. The company, which already holds the world’s largest Ethereum treasury, stated that the acquisition added 202,037 ETH to its reserves, bringing its total to 3,032,188 ETH, approximately 2.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The aggressive buying spree came amid a weekend market sell-off that saw more than $19 billion in leveraged positions liquidated. Over 1.6 million traders were wiped out in 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data, as Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded $5.38 billion and $4.43 billion in long liquidations, respectively. The broader market’s total capitalization dropped by over 9% to $3.8 trillion, with Bitcoin briefly plunging below $102,000. Tom Lee Says Ethereum Entering ‘Supercycle’ as BitMine Nears 5% of ETH Supply BitMine’s latest purchase lifted its total crypto and cash holdings to $13.4 billion as of October 12, including $12.9 billion in crypto assets and “moonshot” investments. The company’s portfolio now includes 3,032,188 ETH, valued at $4,154 per token, 192 BTC, worth approximately $22 million, a $135 million equity stake in Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings, and $104 million in unencumbered cash. BitMine’s chairman, Tom Lee of Fundstrat, said the company took advantage of the temporary market dislocation caused by the liquidation cascade. “Volatility creates deleveraging, and this can cause assets to trade at substantial discounts to fundamentals,” Lee said. “We acquired over 200,000 ETH during the downturn, moving more than halfway toward our goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply.” Lee also reiterated his view that Ethereum is entering what he calls a “Supercycle,” driven by artificial intelligence and the financial sector’s increasing integration with blockchain. BitMine published Lee’s keynote from the Token2049 conference in Singapore as part of its October Chairman’s Message, in which he outlined the company’s long-term thesis for Ethereum accumulation. BitMine’s rapid expansion has positioned it as the largest Ethereum holder globally and the second-largest public crypto treasury overall, behind Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which controls 640,250 BTC valued at roughly $73 billion. BitMine now ranks ahead of other central Ethereum treasuries, including SharpLink and The Ether Machine, which hold 838,730 ETH and 496,710 ETH, respectively, according to SER data.Source: SER Despite the market chaos, BitMine remains one of the most heavily traded U.S.-listed stocks. Fundstrat data shows the company’s ticker, BMNR, has recorded an average five-day trading volume of $3.5 billion as of October 10, ranking 22nd among all U.S. equities, just behind Coinbase and ahead of UnitedHealth. Combined, BitMine and Strategy account for 88% of global digital asset treasury (DAT) trading volume. However, BitMine’s share price has not been immune to volatility, falling 11% over the past week following a short position taken by Kerrisdale Capital, which questioned the sustainability of the company’s business model.Source: Google Finance Ethereum Eyes $10K as Fusaka Upgrade Nears Testnet Phase Ethereum is positioning for another major leap as developers prepare for the Fusaka upgrade, expected to follow the successful Pectra rollout earlier this year. The update, now entering testnet trials, is designed to reduce transaction fees further and lower the cost of becoming a validator, key steps toward improving scalability and accessibility across the network. If Fusaka launches on schedule by late 2025, analysts believe it could strengthen Ethereum’s path toward $10,000, particularly as institutional interest in blockchain tokenization and real-world assets continues to expand. Both Pectra and Fusaka form part of Ethereum’s long-term roadmap to enhance efficiency across the base layer and layer-two networks, such as Arbitrum. Ethereum’s recovery from its previous low of $1,400 gained momentum after Pectra, with ETH/USD trading recently around $3,813. However, volatility has remained high, as shown by a flash crash that wiped out over $3.8 billion in leveraged positions before prices rebounded above $4,100. Technical indicators indicate that ETH is holding above support near $3,720, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting a potential near-term reversal if resistance around $4,050–$4,300 is broken. Meanwhile, renewed commentary from Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has drawn fresh attention to Ethereum’s dual role as a store of value and functional asset. Kiyosaki warned of a looming financial reset and described Ethereum and silver as “hot, hot, hot,” arguing that both combine industrial utility with scarcity

Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It

Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It

The post Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin heads into the new week with a clean catalyst: the White House’s tariff brinkmanship with China and a market structure that just absorbed the largest crypto liquidation on record. Markets have marched through the tariff cycle almost beat-for-beat, and as of Monday we are squarely at Step 8 of The Kobeissi Letter’s template: the post-open reassurance from Treasury. The sequence since late week ties cleanly to the blueprint Kobeissi published after “10 months analyzing EVERY single tariff development,” which it summarized as an “EXACT playbook for investors.” Bitcoin Weekly Preview In their words: “1) Trump puts out cryptic post… 2) Trump announces large tariff rate (50%+) and markets crash… 4) After the market closes on Friday, President Trump doubles down… 5) On Saturday, the target… responds… 6) On Sunday… Trump posts an announcement saying he is working on a solution… 7) Futures open… higher Sunday… 8) After the Monday open, Treasury Secretary Bessent appears on live TV and reassures investors… 9–10) over the next 2–4 weeks, officials tease a deal, then announce one, and stocks hit a record high. 11) Repeat.” The Friday crash is the fulcrum. After President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports by November 1, risk assets lurched lower into the US close, with the S&P 500 off 2.7% and the Nasdaq down 3.6% on the day; Bitcoin and the entire crypto suffered the largest single-day liquidation in its history, with roughly $19 billion in positions wiped out across venues. The trigger, size, and timing map precisely to Step 2’s “announce large tariff rate… and markets crash to shake out weak positions,” followed by Step 3’s failed bounce and fresh lows as forced selling cascaded through perps and basis. The weekend then advanced the script. Between late Friday and Saturday, the…

Bitcoin Did Not Crash on Volume: Coinbase Data Reveals What Caused Market Drop

Bitcoin Did Not Crash on Volume: Coinbase Data Reveals What Caused Market Drop

The post Bitcoin Did Not Crash on Volume: Coinbase Data Reveals What Caused Market Drop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market experienced a significant crash over the weekend, liquidating over $19 billion in leveraged bets across various cryptocurrencies. Friday’s crash saw crypto’s worst liquidation in terms of pure volume, with more than 10 times as much dollar value liquidated as the FTX crash in 2022. Bitcoin’s spot trading volume increased amid the sell-off as traders adjusted their positioning. Given the extent of the wipeout, one would naturally assume Friday to be the highest day volume for Bitcoin, but rather an intriguing detail has emerged. In a recent tweet, Scott Melkel, host of the Wolf of All Streets podcast, shared an interesting detail about the Bitcoin price crash using Coinbase data. Melkel pointed out that Friday’s crash was not the highest-volume day for Bitcoin on Coinbase this summer, as there were two bigger days in July, and in both instances, the price barely moved. The Bitcoin price saw small dips, which quickly went up. Interesting detail. Friday’s crash wasn’t even the highest-volume day for Bitcoin on Coinbase this summer.

This wasn’t a… pic.twitter.com/7wtSOQMdU9 — The Wolf Of All Streets (@scottmelker) October 13, 2025 This fact, according to Melkel, explains the market drop. The podcaster believes that the market crash was not a broad-based sell-off; instead, it was a leverage event. Melkel describes it as a “chain reaction of forced liquidations” and not spot panic. Melkel added that this might also indicate that during the worst of the drop, trading on spot exchanges may have been partially frozen, meaning that real buyers could not step in even if they wanted to. On-chain data reveals massive deleveraging According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode,…

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Investments Have Already Topped 2024—Will It Last?

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Investments Have Already Topped 2024—Will It Last?

The post Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Investments Have Already Topped 2024—Will It Last? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Crypto ETPs drew $3.17 billion in inflows last week, pushing 2025’s total to a record $48.7 billion. Friday’s market crash saw minimal ETF outflows of just $159 million, suggesting retail investors held positions while institutional traders remained largely unaffected. Bitcoin briefly dropped below $110,000 over the weekend but is recovering, with Ethereum showing a larger gain over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products pulled in $3.17 billion worth of funds last week before spot markets tanked on Friday during tense trade talks between the U.S. and China. Bitcoin funds pulled in $2.6 billion and Ethereum funds saw $338 million worth of new deposits, according to a report from crypto asset manager CoinShares. Last week’s inflows have brought the year-to-date crypto fund deposits to a record $48.7 billion, meaning crypto ETPs have already beat last year’s record flows. There’s some evidence that the crash had an impact on ETF holdings, but not much. “Friday saw little reaction with a paltry $159m outflows,” noted CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill.  He added that it’s unlikely retail traders were the ones selling their Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF shares on Friday. “We’ve found that retail holders of ETPs tend to be much ‘stickier’ than institutional investors, who often engage in basis trading,” he told Decrypt, referring to traders who buy long spot and short futures. “Therefore, I’d expect most of the outflows to come from institutional investors who were likely washed out of the basis trade after this recent sell-off, rather than from retail holders—although there was no evidence of this on Friday flows, so it seems that the institutional basis trades (who really move the flows) were not impacted much.” At the time of writing, users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company Dastan, think…

Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Speech Tomorrow Could Trigger a Crypto Market Crash – Here’s What to Expect

Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Speech Tomorrow Could Trigger a Crypto Market Crash – Here’s What to Expect

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is set to deliver a keynote speech on the U.S. economic outlook and monetary policy at the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) annual meeting in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The speech, titled “Economic Outlook and Monetary Policy,” comes at a volatile time for global markets reeling from renewed U.S.–China trade tensions and sharp corrections in digital assets. Powell’s remarks could influence expectations around interest rate cuts and broader monetary policy, potentially determining whether the current downturn in crypto worsens or stabilizes. Crypto Markets Brace for Powell’s Speech After Trump Tariff Turmoil Last week, President Donald Trump reignited trade tensions with Beijing by announcing plans to impose a 100% tariff on all Chinese goods imported into the United States starting November 1. The announcement rattled markets worldwide, with the total crypto market cap plunging by over $125 billion within hours. Bitcoin, which had climbed above $122,000 earlier in the week, plunged below $105,000 following Trump’s announcement and briefly dipped under $102,000 on Saturday. Ethereum fell nearly 20% during the same window, while Solana, XRP, and BNB recorded losses between 12% and 18%. The sharp decline triggered massive liquidations across exchanges. Data from CoinGlass showed over 1.66 million traders were wiped out in 24 hours, resulting in $19.33 billion in liquidated positions. Bitcoin and Ethereum alone accounted for nearly $10 billion of those losses, making it one of the year’s most severe deleveraging events. Additionally, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index plunged from a “Greed” level of 64 on Friday to 27 (“Fear”) on Saturday, its lowest in six months. According to Santiment, Friday’s sell-off was not just about tariffs. The analytics firm said retail traders were quick to “rationalize” the downturn by blaming the U.S.–China standoff, but deeper structural factors were at play, such as excessive leverage and overextended long positions. Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter agreed, describing the event as a “forced unwind” in an overcrowded market heavily biased toward long exposure. Analysts say Powell’s upcoming remarks could either deepen or stabilize the current market turmoil. Traders are watching closely for any guidance on the timing and size of potential interest rate cuts. Adding to the uncertainty, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in both October and December, with futures markets showing 97% and 89% odds, respectively. Powell’s Tuesday address may clarify the central bank’s view on inflation, growth, and the impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy. His tone could either reassure markets or exacerbate fears of an economic slowdown. A more hawkish tone from Powell, suggesting rates will stay higher for longer, could reignite selling pressure across crypto and equities, both of which have traded increasingly in sync with broader risk sentiment. Bitcoin and Ether Rebound as Trump Signals Softer Tone Toward China While markets partially rebounded on Monday, the recovery remains fragile. Bitcoin rose 4.5% to $115,459, while Ether gained 11.3% to $4,161 after Trump and Vice President JD Vance struck a softer tone on Sunday, indicating openness to trade talks with Beijing. “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine,” Trump posted on Truth Social, calling Chinese President Xi Jinping “highly respected” and suggesting the U.S. wanted to “help, not hurt” China. Still, tensions remain high. Beijing has warned that it will retaliate if Washington enforces the 100% tariffs. China’s commerce ministry said the country “does not want a trade war but is not afraid of it,” vowing to “take resolute measures” to protect its interests. Meanwhile, in commodities, gold and silver extended their rallies as investors sought safety. Gold hit $4,200 per ounce, while silver touched $51.70, both reaching record highs. Bank of America raised its 2026 gold price forecast to $5,000, citing persistent geopolitical risks, strong central bank demand, and growing expectations for Fed rate cuts. In April, President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs of up to 125% on Chinese imports after unveiling a broader policy that established a 10% baseline tariff on all imports and introduced reciprocal duties. China retaliated immediately with equivalent measures, warning it would “fight to the end.” In May, the United States and China agreed to temporarily roll back their escalating tariffs, offering a brief reprieve to markets rattled by months of economic brinkmanship. The deal, announced in a joint statement from Geneva, grants both sides a 90-day window to negotiate further cooperation. Under the agreement, Washington will slash tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while Beijing will cut its own levies on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%.

Immunefi and Ripple Announce $200,000 Attackathon to Secure XRPL Lending Protocol

Immunefi and Ripple Announce $200,000 Attackathon to Secure XRPL Lending Protocol

Uncollateralized loans on XRP Ledger bring new DeFi opportunities. $200,000 reward pool for identifying security vulnerabilities in protocol. XRPL Lending Protocol aims to reshape institutional finance and security. Ripple and Immunefi have unveiled an exciting opportunity in the world of blockchain security with a $200,000 Attackathon aimed at securing the proposed XRPL Lending Protocol. This competition seeks to enhance the protocol’s security by inviting security researchers to dive deep into its code, identifying vulnerabilities before the protocol goes live. The Attackathon, which will run from October 27 to November 29, 2025, offers a unique opportunity to test and fortify a groundbreaking new protocol designed for institutional use. Also Read: Falcon Finance Sees Dramatic Surge with $300M Liquidity Influx A New Approach to Institutional DeFi The XRPL Lending Protocol is designed to facilitate fixed-term, uncollateralized loans directly on the XRP Ledger, without relying on smart contracts or wrapped assets. It introduces a new approach to institutional DeFi, where creditworthiness is assessed off-chain using traditional underwriting and risk models. The protocol’s design emphasizes security by allowing funds to be pooled on-chain while enforcing predefined terms for repayments. Institutions looking for collateralized loans can still rely on off-ledger structures, ensuring a balance between transparency and regulatory compliance. We are collaborating with @immunefi to prepare a $200K Attackathon to test and strengthen the proposed XRP Ledger Lending Protocol. The program runs Oct 27 – Nov 24 and invites security researchers to review more than 35K lines of C++ code, uncover vulnerabilities, and earn… https://t.co/eQ4wTtsSCt — RippleX (@RippleXDev) October 13, 2025 According to Ripple and Immunefi, this competition is more than just a security exercise. It serves as a foundational step in the development of capital markets on the XRP Ledger. The contest will focus on a series of critical areas, including liquidation logic, interest accrual, clawback, deepfreeze, and administrative attacks. Researchers will be expected to submit proof-of-concept exploits to qualify for rewards. The main goal is to ensure that the protocol can stand up to adversarial scrutiny, mitigating risks that could impact institutional users. XRPL Attackathon’s Structure and Key Targets The competition offers a total reward pool of $200,000, which will be unlocked if even a single valid bug is identified. If no bugs are found, a fallback reward pool of $30,000 will be distributed among participants who submit valid insights. Participants will have the chance to showcase their expertise in identifying flaws related to the protocol’s liquidation logic, interest accrual errors, or weaknesses in permissioned access controls. Additionally, Immunefi’s All Star and Podium programs will reward top performers, ensuring that the most skilled security researchers are recognized for their efforts. The competition is open to developers familiar with C++ and will include live walkthroughs and a comprehensive XRPL-focused curriculum to support participants. Ripple and Immunefi aim to make this a collaborative effort, offering full access to test environments and providing policy support via Discord for ongoing coordination. The XRPL Lending Protocol, governed by XLS-66, marks a bold step in the future of decentralized finance, particularly for institutional players. As Ripple and Immunefi gear up for the Attackathon, the stakes are high. This collaboration promises not only to strengthen XRPL’s security but also to pave the way for more sophisticated and secure financial solutions on the blockchain.
