If a crypto exchange has tech glitches, or a market maker pulls liquidity, exacerbating a flash crash, there are few legal avenues to pursue. Almost twenty billion dollars in perpetual futures positions were liquidated during the Oct. 10 crypto crash, prompting traders to ask who should pay if platforms fail under pressure. Unlike regulated securities exchanges, crypto venues can pull liquidity, cut profitable positions and often rely on arbitration clauses that limit legal recourse as long as users have clicked I agree. In the latest liquidation frenzy, Binance was at the center of controversy as some users claimed they were unable to properly close their positions in time. Binance said its core features remained operational, but acknowledged technical glitches that caused certain asset prices to appear temporarily depegged from the broader market. Earlier this weeks social media was rife with rumors that market maker Wintermute planned to sue Binance over losses sustained during the crash, although that was... -

Token burning only raises prices when demand, utility and transparency align. Here’s when supply cuts work, and why SHIB and BNB tell different stories. Token burns are a key part of many projects’ tokenomics. They permanently remove coins from circulation, but supply cuts alone don’t guarantee price gains. Burns work best when supported by strong fundamentals, meaningful burn volume and rising demand. Market trends, investor sentiment and burn transparency all shape price impact. Read more -

MEV isn’t inevitable. It’s engineered exploitation masquerading as necessity. Blockchain’s future depends on eliminating this hidden tax on users. Opinion by: Da Hongfei, founder of Neo Decentralized, permissionless and transparent. These are the principles that attracted many of us to the blockchain ecosystem. This vision is still being undermined, however, by an insidious, often invisible force: maximal extractable value (MEV). MEV isn’t inevitable; it’s a choice. Too many treat it as an unavoidable byproduct of blockchains. It is not. MEV is engineered into incentives, and it can be engineered out. Left unchecked, it becomes a hidden tax, a form of censorship, and a direct assault on fairness and decentralization. Read more -

The loan came shortly after Metaplanet launched a $500 million Bitcoin-backed share buyback program, after its market-based net asset value fell below 1.0. Tokyo-listed Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet secured a $100 million Bitcoin-backed loan to purchase additional BTC and repurchase its shares. According to a Tuesday filing, the funds were borrowed on Oct. 31 under a credit agreement that allows the company to secure short-term financing using its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings as collateral. The lender’s identity was not disclosed, but the company said the loan carries a benchmark US dollar rate plus a spread and can be repaid at any time. Metaplanet said that the loan structure is conservative, noting it holds 30,823 BTC, worth around $3.5 billion as of the end of October, a position large enough to maintain healthy collateral coverage even if Bitcoin’s price declines.

CoinGecko data shows the NFT market value has nearly halved in a month, with even top collections like BAYC and CryptoPunks losing ground. The non-fungible token (NFT) market has lost nearly half its value in the past 30 days, even as trading activity picked up in October.

The slump comes despite a sales count increase in October that briefly lifted blue-chip floor prices. CryptoSlam data shows NFTs recorded a sales count of around $631 million in October, a 13% increase from September’s $556 million. Bitcoin and Base NFTs demonstrated resilience over the last 30 days, with increases of 9% and 24%, respectively. Read more -

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes said increasing US debt will force the Federal Reserve into “stealth QE,” injecting liquidity that could reignite Bitcoin’s next rally. Bitcoin’s recent dip below $100,000, its lowest level since June, has sparked concerns among crypto investors. Still, two well-known market figures offer an optimistic view of where Bitcoin may be headed. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan said the latest downturn reflects peak retail capitulation rather than the start of a deeper collapse. “Crypto retail is in max desperation,” he told CNBC’s Crypto World on Tuesday. “We’ve seen leverage blowouts... the market for sort of crypto native retail is just more depressed than I’ve ever seen it.” Hougan said there are more and more signs that the sell-off is nearing exhaustion. “When I go out and speak to institutions or financial advisers, they’re still excited to allocate to an asset class that if you pan back and look over the course of a year, is still delivering very strong returns,” he... -

In early October, Tom Lee and Arthur Hayes were confident that Bitcoin could still reach $250,000 by year-end, but analysts say half that figure is now unlikely. Bitcoin’s price appears to be losing steam, which may mean that the more optimistic forecasts for the end of 2025 may not materialize this year. However, analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin (BTC) will see renewed momentum in 2026. “We don’t expect crypto to go any higher than $125K USD in 2025,” ShapeShift analyst Houston Morgan said in comments viewed by Cointelegraph. That target is just below Bitcoin’s Oct. 4 all-time high of just over $126,000. Read more -

Sequans shares fell 16% on Tuesday after the chip maker said it sold 970 Bitcoin to redeem half of its $189 million outstanding convertible debt. Shares in Sequans dropped by over 16% after selling 30% of its Bitcoin to redeem half of its convertible debt, a move the semiconductor company described as a “strategic asset reallocation.” “Our Bitcoin treasury strategy and our deep conviction in Bitcoin remain unchanged,” Sequans CEO Georges Karam said on Tuesday. “This transaction was a tactical decision aimed at unlocking shareholder value given current market conditions.” The sale cut the chip developer’s Bitcoin (BTC) stash from 3,234 BTC to 2,264 BTC, backsliding from its goal to accumulate 100,000 BTC over the next five years. Proceeds from the sale were used to cut its outstanding debt from $189 million to $94.5 million. Read more
