The crash was caused by a perfect storm of short-term factors, causing $20 billion in liquidations — the worst 24-hour drain in crypto history. The sudden market crash on Friday, which caused some cryptocurrencies to decline by as much as 95% in under 24 hours, does not signal a long-term bearish outlook or deteriorating fundamentals, according to investment analysts at The Kobeissi Letter.

Price tapped the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), a dynamic support level, before rebounding to over $3,800. The relative strength index (RSI) is also at 35, nearing oversold conditions, signaling a potential reversal to the upside. Read more -

The provision in the National Defense Authorization Act could create even more economic pain for the crypto mining industry if passed. The US Senate has advanced sweeping AI legislation under the National Defense Authorization Act, compelling chipmakers to serve US customers first before exporting advanced processors abroad. On Thursday, senators passed the Guaranteeing Access and Innovation for National Artificial Intelligence Act of 2026, or GAIN Act, as an amendment to National Defense Authorization Act, requiring AI and high-performance chipmakers to prioritize domestic orders before exporting their products. The GAIN Act also gives Congress the right to deny export licenses for the most high-end AI processors and mandates export licenses for all products containing an “advanced integrated circuit.” “Over the past several years, US firms have faced regular backlogs in purchasing chips. In late 2024, Nvidia’s Blackwell line was booked out roughly 12 months ahead,” according to policy advocacy group “Ameri... -

After yesterday's multibillion dollar leveraged crypto wipeout, traders are licking their wounds — but those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. I’m not your mother, your priest, or Gary Gensler. I’m not going to tell you that you shouldn’t use 50x leverage gambling on lower-liquidity altcoins on a centralized crypto exchange, because you are a human adult in the year 2025, and you can gamble whatever the hell you care to gamble. But I do have one word of advice, and you can take it or leave it. Read more -

AI wearables will harvest our most intimate data while we pretend privacy still exists. Cryptography could enable us to keep our privacy. Opinion by: Evin McMullen, co-founder and CEO of Billions Network and co-founder of Privado ID Population monitoring has evolved over the years. First, it was from other people; later, it was data harvesting. In 2025, wearable technology is the new frontier for broader public surveillance. This isn’t necessarily some dystopia, nor is it comfortable — it is a new paradigm in how we engage with each other and our data. While it’s inevitable that people will need to redefine their expectations around privacy as we enter this new era of surveillance, now is the time to seize the opportunity to shape this new normal before technology sidelines us from active participants to passive subjects.

Major policy changes worldwide are shaping how the crypto industry will operate. As crypto adoption increases globally, governments are grappling with the potential impacts on their financial systems and economic stability. This week, several major policy changes have impacted the crypto industry — some that hinder innovation and others that bolster it. In the US, a government shutdown has halted any consideration of crypto-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Federal agencies are operating with minimal staff until Congress reaches a budget agreement. In the UK, the government has lifted a ban on crypto-based exchange-traded notes (ETNs) — debt instruments that give investors exposure to crypto without owning it. UK regulators say the crypto market is mature enough to support such products. Read more -

Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek has urged regulators to probe exchanges after $20 billion in liquidations, far outpacing any previous market crash, including FTX. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek has called for a regulatory investigation into exchanges that suffered the largest losses following a record $20 billion in crypto liquidations over the past 24 hours. In a Saturday post on X, Marszalek urged regulators to “conduct a thorough review of fairness of practices,” asking whether trading platforms had slowed down, mispriced assets, or failed to maintain proper anti-manipulation and compliance controls during the crash. “Regulators should look into the exchanges that had most liquidations in the last 24 hours,” he wrote. “Any of them slowing down to a halt, effectively not allowing people to trade? Were all trades priced correctly and in line with indexes?” Read more -

An economist said Bitcoin declining more than 5% in October is “exceedingly rare,” and historically, the asset has usually rebounded within the following week. Bitcoin’s price may recover up to 21% over the coming seven days if October’s historical trends hold, an economist suggests. “Drops of more than 5% in October are exceedingly rare. This has happened only 4 times in the past 10 years,” economist Timothy Peterson said in an X post on Friday.’ He said those instances occurred in October 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021. In the week following each drop, Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded by 16% in 2017, 4% in 2018, and 21% in 2019. The only exception was 2021, when the crypto asset fell a further 3%. Read more -

Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten said Bitcoin's price plunge on Friday was "classic macro whiplash," and Bitcoiners should expect turbulence in the short term. Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten said Bitcoin’s price volatility may not be over after the cryptocurrency briefly fell to $102,000 on Friday, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. “If the broader risk-off mood holds, Bitcoin can get dragged around a bit before it finds support and starts to decouple again,” Klippsten told Cointelegraph on Friday. Klippsten said that Bitcoiners should expect some turbulence over the coming days. “Macro-driven dips like this usually wash out leveraged traders and weak hands, then reset positioning for the next leg up,” Klippsten said.
