Solana’s momentum is shifting into overdrive. As the network continues to attract the brightest minds in crypto, Umbra and Arcium have emerged as two of its strongest catalysts. Both projects have captured the essence of SOL’s revival execution at scale.

How Two Projects Are Redefining Solana Core
The Solana ecosystem just witnessed history in motion. In an x post, the founder of Sensei Holdings and Namaste Group, Solana Sensei, gave a massive shoutout to Umbra and Arcium, calling them legends for making history on SOL. It’s a moment that captures the pulse of the ecosystem as builders are winning.

Umbra is one of the largest launches in SOL’s history, and it’s all centered around built-in privacy, a native feature the SOL network truly needs. The project raised an astonishing $155 million in its public sale, with more than 200x oversubscription. Those numbers reflect trust in a team and a vision that is deeply aligned with SOL’s next chapter.

However, Umbra is a privacy protocol built natively for SOL, designed to bring confidentiality, composability, and compliance-ready infrastructure into the SOL ecosystem, which is known for speed and scale. Sensei mentioned that he is not surprised by the success, considering the talent and vision behind the teams are Umbra, Arcium, and the MetaDAO, a collective of builders shaping the next frontier of decentralized infrastructure.

A prominent crypto analyst and market commentator, Tom Tucker, has highlighted a growing trend that signals rising institutional conviction in Solana, as big players are loading up on SOL. Companies such as Forward Industries and DeFi Development Corp are now actively building SOL treasuries, together holding over 2.4% of the total supply, worth an estimated $3 billion.

Institutional SOL adoption is still ongoing | Source: Chart from Tom Tucker on X
This kind of accumulation is about commitment. By locking up billions in SOL, these companies are signaling confidence in SOL’s long-term future.

SOL Prepares For Its Next Big Move
MANDO CT, a recognized figure in the crypto community, has pointed out that the Solana range breakout is loading. For months, SOL has been quietly building a base between $160 support and range resistance, setting the stage for a major range breakout. Every dip has been absorbed, which is a classic accumulation pattern.

Currently, the range is tightening, as price is pressing against the ceiling, and volume is starting to expand, signaling that energy is building for a potential breakout. With liquidity just above, a clean breakout here might set off a powerful continuation wave.

Also, MANDO noted that he was buying 20,000 SOL at $11, when smart money was accumulating while most looked away. If SOL clears this range with conviction, and $250+ comes into play fast, retail will buy the setup.

According to CRYPTOWZRD in a recent post, both Ethereum and ETH/BTC closed the session on a bearish note but quickly recovered, showcasing ETH’s resilience and renewed buyer confidence. He noted that a move above $4,000 would be a crucial development, potentially marking a key turning point for Ethereum’s momentum.

Bearish Daily Close Mirrors Bitcoin’s Market Direction
CRYPTOWZRD further explained that Ethereum and ETH/BTC’s daily candle bearish close followed Bitcoin’s lead. Despite the negative close, Ethereum displayed relative strength compared to most other cryptocurrencies, maintaining a more resilient structure amid the decline. This reflects the asset’s continued dominance in the altcoin market.

He noted that ETH/BTC has now reached its key support target zone. The market’s behavior around this level will be crucial in determining whether Ethereum is preparing for a rebound or remains at risk of deeper consolidation. A recovery toward $4,170 remains possible if Ethereum can hold this support region and sustain its current stability.

The analyst highlighted that a move back above $4,000 would serve as an encouraging signal, validating a successful retest of the lower support area. Such a move could reignite bullish sentiment and set the stage for renewed upside momentum in the short to mid-term. However, CRYPTOWZRD cautioned that Bitcoin’s price movement will continue to dictate the broader market trend. 

Heading into the weekend, the analyst acknowledged that the market remains unpredictable, with both bullish and bearish scenarios still in play. His current focus, he stated, will remain on monitoring lower time frame chart formations to identify potential scalp opportunities. 

Extreme Volatility Hits As Market Faces Major Liquidation Event
In his conclusion, CRYPTOWZRD noted that the intraday chart for Ethereum showed extreme volatility as the market experienced one of the most intense liquidation events in its history. Despite the turbulence, he emphasized that reclaiming the $4,000 level places Ethereum back in positive territory.

He explained that a retest of the $4,260 intraday resistance could serve as a key turning point in the short term. This zone will be crucial in determining whether Ethereum can sustain its recovery or faces renewed downward pressure. If price action shows weakness after testing this level, it may open the door for short opportunities as momentum begins to fade. 

CRYPTOWZRD added that he remains open to both bullish and bearish scenarios, acknowledging that weekend trading often brings slower volatility and unpredictable market behavior. With that in mind, he stated that he will continue to monitor price movements, waiting for the next clear trade setup to emerge before making any decisive moves.

The selling in Bitcoin and altcoin is not over yet, but data suggests that the nature of the CME Bitcoin and equities futures market open on Sunday will determine the direction BTC price takes.

Key points:

A sharp reduction in aggregate open interest highlights the severity of the $20 billion in leveraged liquidations and highlights traders’ reluctance to re-enter the market.

Bitcoin selling and price weakness are likely to extend until CME BTC and equities futures markets open on Sunday evening, US hours.

The crypto market continues to reel from Friday’s historic sell-off, which resulted in over $20 billion in centralized exchange liquidations and several hundred million across the DeFi landscape. 

Traders were clearly caught off guard as President Trump’s 100% tariff on Chinese imports Truth Social Post sent shockwaves across the crypto market. Data from CoinGlass shows the severity of the flash-crash, and at the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to trade above $110,000, while other majors like Ether (ETH) and SOL (SOL) are down 3.74% and 7.0% respectively. 

24-hour crypto market liquidations. Source: CoinGlassTrump’s aptly timed tweet on Friday happened in the last 2 hours of the trading day for equities and regulated crypto trading venues, so there is a chance for extended price downside as volumes and orderbooks in CeFi and CEXs thin out over the weekend.   

While speaking to Schwab Network anchor Nicole Petallides, Cointelegraph head of markets Ray Salmond explained how Bitcoin, Ether and several altcoins were ripe for exploitation according to liquidation heatmap data. 

“If we look at liquidation heatmap data from Hyblock Capital, which basically shows where all the short and long positions are across various orderbooks at centralized crypto exchanges, we can see that there’s a liquidity pocket of long positions that are being exploited…that pocket extends from $120,000 to $115,000 and from $115,000 to $113,000.” Ray Salmond explains the crypto market sell-off. Source: Schwab NetworkSalmond added:

“There are plenty of metrics and data that suggest Bitcoin is trading at a discount right now. If you consider the mean price to be $120,000, a 1 standard deviation move away from that is $115,000, a 2 standard deviation move away from the mean is $110,000. Aggregate orderbook data for Bitcoin currently shows a sufficiently hefty amount of bids in that range.” BTC/USDT Binance, Bybit, BitMEX liquidation heatmap, 30-day view. Hyblock Currently, as Bitcoin struggles to trade above $110,000, the liquidation heatmap shows a pocket of leveraged long positions at $98,600, and BTC open interest highlights traders’ current reluctance to open fresh positions, at least in the perpetual future market.

CEX and DEX open interest, excluding BTC and Ether. Source: VeloWith Bitcoin and the wider market continuing to show weakness during the weekend, the most likely outcome is extended soft selling until CME futures markets for Bitcoin and equities futures open on Sunday evening. The nature of the futures open is likely to provide traders with insight into how TradFi “feels” about the current situation.

An uptick or normalization of global open interest in crypto markets and whether or not the trend remains down, stabilizes, or begins to trend up during this process will also be a tell on the emerging direction the market may choose.

Bitcoin appears to be quietly gathering strength beneath the surface. After a healthy pullback that shook out weak hands, the market is showing signs of renewed momentum. Key technical signals suggest this correction may have been a setup for the next major rally, potentially paving the way for a new all-time high.

Healthy Correction Within A Dominant Uptrend
EtherNasyonaL, in a recent post, highlighted that Bitcoin continues to maintain its upward trajectory despite recent market fluctuations. The analyst described the latest movement as a healthy correction within the broader bullish trend, emphasizing that such retracements are natural in a sustained rally.

Following a rejection from the supply zone, Bitcoin found strong support at a key demand area, where buyers quickly stepped in to defend the price. This rebound underscores the underlying strength of market participants and reaffirms that bullish sentiment remains dominant.

EtherNasyonaL noted that short-term volatility, for traders not involved in leveraged positions, often appears as noise in the bigger picture. BTC’s macro trend is still positive, and the ongoing correction may simply serve as fuel for the next leg higher. Overall, Bitcoin’s structure remains solid, with its trend intact and momentum still alive. 

Bullish Spring Formation Points To Possible Breakout Setup
Crypto analyst Christopher Inks, in an X post, noted that Bitcoin’s latest price action has refined its trading range, offering a clearer market structure. He suggested that the asset may have just formed a heavy spring or bullish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP), a setup that often precedes strong upward movement. 

If this bullish setup holds, the analyst expects a validation phase, where Bitcoin could form a higher low on lower volume, a classic sign of successful testing. Such a move would confirm the spring’s strength and potentially trigger momentum toward a new all-time high (ATH). This phase is critical in determining whether the next major rally is about to begin.

Inks also pointed to Open Interest (OI) as a key confirmation tool. A decline in open interest as price consolidates would suggest short covering and validate the bullish test. On the other hand, rising OI on lower closes would imply continued distribution, signaling that the market may need more time before reversing decisively.

From an Elliott Wave Theory (EWT) perspective, Inks identified a three-wave structure from the swing low while printing a new swing high that fits a flat correction pattern. Since flat corrections often occur before the continuation of a larger uptrend, this analysis aligns with the Wyckoff interpretation, suggesting Bitcoin’s structure remains strong and poised for another upward leg.

In recent years, USDC has established itself as a key player in the digital finance sector, with its widespread adoption and robust institutional support marking significant milestones. As of October 2025, USDC is increasingly becoming the preferred stablecoin within regulated financial markets, setting a benchmark for its peers.

XRP staged a dramatic recovery in Friday’s volatile trading, bouncing back from a steep 41% intraday collapse to close above $2.47. The cryptocurrency plunged from $2.77 to $1.64 between October 10 and 11 before rebounding as institutional investors stepped in to absorb panic-driven liquidations. The $1.14 intraday range marked one of the widest trading swings for XRP in 2025, triggered by macroeconomic shocks tied to new U.S.–China tariffs that rattled global markets.

Over $150 million in XRP futures were liquidated during the selloff as traders reacted to heightened risk aversion following former President Trump’s 100% tariff announcement. Despite the chaos, volume surged to 817 million — nearly triple the 30-day average — reflecting deep liquidity and strong recovery interest. Analysts described the rebound as “institutional recalibration,” with large holders rebuilding exposure around $2.34–$2.45, supported by ETF inflows and renewed optimism surrounding Ripple’s banking integrations.

Technical indicators showed XRP stabilizing after its sharp decline. The $1.64 level held as the capitulation low, while $2.40–$2.45 emerged as a key accumulation zone. Resistance remains at $3.05, a critical breakout level that could pave the way for upside targets between $3.65 and $4.00 if momentum continues. RSI readings recovered from oversold territory, and MACD signals hinted at an early bullish reversal.

Market participants are now watching whether the $2.47 support level holds through the weekend, particularly during Asian trading hours. Traders are also monitoring ETF-related flows and institutional positioning as volatility subsides. A decisive move above the $2.90–$3.00 range could reestablish XRP’s bullish trend, signaling the end of the macro-driven correction.

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has weighed in on the recent cryptocurrency market downturn, drawing connections between the decline and his long-held analysis of Bitcoin’s cyclical patterns. Brandt revealed that he had identified October 5 as a likely top for Bitcoin’s latest rally, based on his proprietary interpretation of four-year halving cycles. Although he didn’t take a short position, he emphasized that the timing of the recent correction closely aligned with his forecasts.

Brandt’s approach to market analysis revolves around Bitcoin’s halving events, which occur roughly every four years and cut the rate of new BTC issuance in half. Historically, these halvings have acted as structural milestones that separate major market lows and highs. According to Brandt, a tradable top often emerges around six weeks after each halving, a trend consistent with previous bull markets.

The latest crypto sell-off, however, was accelerated by macroeconomic shocks. The U.S. government’s new 100% tariff on Chinese goods and restrictions on software exports triggered widespread panic across global financial markets. Bitcoin, which had just reached a record high above $125,000, fell sharply by over 12%, dropping below $113,000. Data from Coinglass revealed that more than $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours, impacting 1.6 million traders worldwide—over $7 billion in a single hour.

Despite the turmoil, market leaders remain optimistic. Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy reaffirmed his long-term faith in Bitcoin, calling volatility a natural part of its evolution. Anthony Pompliano and Michaël van de Poppe echoed similar sentiments, with the latter suggesting that altcoins may have reached their bottom. Meanwhile, Samson Mow reminded investors that “October isn’t over yet,” while James E. Thorne pointed out Bitcoin’s resilience above $110,000, reinforcing confidence in the asset’s underlying strength.

Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of a mild recovery after a sharp 20% decline in the past 24 hours, extending its 30-day losses to 26.2%. Following the crash, ADA dropped to its lowest level in weeks but has since rebounded near the $0.65 mark. This recovery attempt is being fueled by two groups — whales and retail traders — both increasing their holdings as prices fall.

According to data from Santiment, wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million ADA have grown their collective balance from 13.06 billion ADA on October 10 to 13.20 billion today, adding roughly 140 million ADA worth about $89.6 million. This steady accumulation, even during market turbulence, indicates that large holders expect price stabilization or a medium-term recovery.

Supporting this sentiment, the Money Flow Index (MFI) has formed a higher low, signaling capital inflows despite the recent price drop. Retail investors are also joining in, as TradingView data shows growing buying pressure from smaller wallets, suggesting broader confidence in ADA’s rebound potential.

However, the technical outlook still carries risks. The Smart Money Index (SMI), which tracks professional traders’ positioning, has fallen sharply and remains weak, showing limited institutional interest. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has hit the oversold level near 30 but has not shown a bullish divergence — indicating that momentum has yet to reverse decisively.

Adding to the caution, Cardano’s descending trendline continues to form a bearish triangle on the daily chart, implying potential downside unless buyers can maintain momentum. For ADA to confirm a rebound, it must close above $0.68 to target $0.76 and $0.89. A break below $0.61, however, could expose it to further losses toward $0.55.

Despite weak technicals, whale and retail accumulation offers a glimmer of hope that Cardano’s recent slump could evolve into a gradual recovery if buying momentum strengthens.

Key takeaways:

Friday’s Bitcoin price crash shows volatility persists in the spot BTC ETF era, with leverage and liquidity stress amplifying losses.

Liquidations hit $5 billion as portfolio margin systems failed, highlighting risks of illiquid collateral assets.

Bitcoin derivatives suggest market makers remain cautious amid low liquidity, insolvency rumors, and Monday’s US national holiday, leading to a partial market closure.

Bitcoin (BTC) plunged by $16,700 on Friday, marking a 13.7% correction in less than eight hours. The sharp drop to $105,000 wiped out 13% of total futures open interest in BTC terms. Despite the steep losses and cascading liquidations, these figures are far from unusual in Bitcoin’s history.

Source: TradingView / CointelegraphEven excluding the “COVID crash” — an impressive 41.1% intraday plunge on March 12, 2020 — which may have been amplified after the leading Bitcoin derivatives exchange at the time, BitMEX, faced liquidation issues and a brief 15-minute outage, there are still 48 other days when Bitcoin endured even deeper corrections.

Bitcoin/USD in May 2021, 4-hour. Source: TradingView / CointelegraphA more recent example occurred on Nov. 9, 2022, when Bitcoin suffered a 16.1% intraday correction, plunging to $15,590. That episode coincided with the FTX collapse, which escalated after a report revealed that nearly 40% of Alameda Research’s assets were tied to FTX’s native token, FTT. Sam Bankman-Fried’s conglomerate soon halted withdrawals and eventually filed for bankruptcy.

Bitcoin volatility remains high despite ETF-driven market maturityOne could argue that intraday crashes of 10% or more have become less frequent since the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) launched in the United States in January 2024. Still, considering Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycle, it may be premature to claim volatility has truly eased. Furthermore, the market structure itself has evolved as trading volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have surged.

The post-ETF events in question include a 15.4% intraday crash on Aug. 5, 2024, a 13.3% correction on March 5, 2024, and a 10.5% drop just two days after the spot ETF debut in January 2024. Regardless of the specific price swings, Friday’s $5 billion in Bitcoin futures liquidations suggests it could take months or even years for the market to fully stabilize.

Hyperliquid, a perpetual decentralized exchange, reported that $2.6 billion in bullish positions were forcefully closed. Meanwhile, traders on several platforms, including Binance, reported issues with portfolio margin calculations. At the same time, DEX users complained about auto-deleveraging, which occurs when counterparties fail to meet margin requirements.

Source: X/CoinMambaIn essence, even traders sitting on significant gains saw some positions unilaterally terminated, creating major problems for those using portfolio margin rather than isolated risk management. This situation is not necessarily the fault of exchanges or evidence of malpractice; it is a byproduct of using leverage in relatively illiquid markets. Some altcoins plunged 40% or more, triggering a collapse in traders’ collateral deposits.

BTC/USDT Perpetual futures vs. spot BTC/USD prices. Source: TradingView / CointelegraphBitcoin/USDT perpetual futures traded about 5% below BTC/USD spot prices during the crash and have yet to recover to pre-event levels. Normally, such discrepancies would present easy opportunities for market makers, but something appears to be preventing a return to normal conditions.

Source: X/beast_icoWhile Friday’s crash clearly marked a disruption, it could also be attributed to thin liquidity over the weekend, especially with US bond markets closed on Monday for a national holiday. Other potential factors include rumors of insolvency, which may have prompted market makers to steer clear of additional risk.

As a result, it may take several days for Bitcoin derivatives markets to fully gauge the extent of the damage and for traders to determine whether the $105,000 level will serve as support or if further correction lies ahead.

New Era Energy & Digital (NASDAQ:NEHC) Chairman and CEO Will Gray spoke with Proactive about the company’s progress as it moves into Phase 2 of its Texas Critical Data Center project. 

Gray explained that the company currently owns 235 acres in Texas through its joint venture with SHARON AI, with an additional 203 acres under option to close within 90 days. Once completed, the site will total 438 acres, with plans to scale the facility up to one gigawatt and beyond. 

Discussing the next steps, Gray said Phase 2 involves site clearing, environmental work, and design planning with an engineering partner to develop a potential powered shell data center.  

He explained that this model could provide “a more constant revenue stream” compared with powered land sales. 

Gray also highlighted the advantages of the site’s location in an attainment zone, allowing up to 250 tons of emissions per year, compared with much stricter limits in non-attainment zones. He said this helps speed up the permitting process and supports larger-scale power delivery. 

Construction is expected to begin in early 2026, marking a key milestone for the company’s expansion. 

Proactive: Welcome back inside our Proactive newsroom. Joining me now is Will Gray, the CEO of New Era Energy & Digital. Exciting news from the company — you and I recently talked about the completion of phase one and now phase two is getting underway at your Texas critical data center. Let’s remind everyone about the data center and what phase two looks like. 

Will Gray: Sure. We’ve acquired 235 acres that we own and operate through our joint venture with SHARON AI under Texas Critical Data Centers. We also have an option to close on an additional 203 acres within the next 60 to 90 days, once we wrap up some environmental studies.  

That will give us a total of 438 acres. Our goal is to scale this project up to one gigawatt and beyond, using what’s known as behind-the-meter power generation, with the potential to add grid power later. 

So what does phase two involve? 

Phase two is already underway. We’re preparing for site clearing — focusing on runoff water, storage drains, and other groundwork to get the land build-ready. We’re also working with an engineering firm to design and build a potential data center. We’re considering a “powered shell” model, which would allow us to lease the facility to hyperscalers. That approach provides a more consistent revenue stream compared with powered land sales, which tend to create chunkier, less predictable revenues. 

Are there lessons you’ve drawn from other projects that help you make faster decisions? 

Absolutely. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. We’ve looked closely at what’s been done elsewhere — what works and what doesn’t. For us, it’s all about speed to power and power to energy, which is exactly what our customers want. There’s massive demand for data centers everywhere, and by focusing on behind-the-meter power generation, we can control our own destiny. 

And you’re still on track for beginning construction in early 2026? 

Yes, that’s the plan. Right now, the land is still raw, but we’re working on applications to include it as an industrial district with the City of Odessa. The site sits just outside city limits, in Ector County.  

One of our key differentiators is that we’re in an attainment zone. That means we can emit up to 250 tons per year, compared with just 50 to 100 in non-attainment areas, which makes permitting faster and allows us to deliver more power to customers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) between February 18, 2025 and July 31, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 14, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Fluor securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Fluor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44864 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 14, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) costs associated with the Gordie Howe International Bridge (“Gordie Howe”), the Interstate 365 Lyndon B. Johnson (“I-635/LBJ”) and Interstate 35E (“I-35”) highways in Texas projects were growing because of, inter alia, subcontractor design errors, price increases, and scheduling delays; (2) the foregoing, as well as customer reduction in capital spending and client hesitation around economic uncertainty, was having, or was likely to have, a significant negative impact on Fluor’s business and financial results; (3) accordingly, Fluor’s financial guidance for the full year 2025 was unreliable and/or unrealistic, the effectiveness of Fluor’s risk mitigation strategy was overstated, and the impact of economic uncertainty on Fluor’s business and financial results was understated; and (4) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

USDe recovered quickly, and Ethena Labs confirmed that the mint and redeem functionality remained operational, with the stablecoin remaining overcollateralized.Updated Oct 11, 2025, 6:41 p.m. Published Oct 11, 2025, 6:18 p.m.

Ethana’s yield-bearing stablecoin, USDe, briefly lost its 1:1 dollar peg during the recent sharp market sell-off triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% additional tariff on China.

On Binance, USDe dropped to 65 cents before quickly regaining parity with the dollar during what’s seen as crypto’s largest ever liquidation event in U.S. dollar value. More than $19 billion in liquidations occurred over just 24 hours.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

USDe, which currently offers a 5.5% yield to holders, is backed by a mix of cryptocurrencies and uses a basis trade strategy, a financial setup that aims to profit from price gaps between spot and futures markets.

Trump’s shock announcement sent investors fleeing to safe havens like gold and U.S. Treasuries.

USDe’s dip had outsized effects, according to crypto trader and economist Alex Krüger, as tokens that aren’t as actively traded on centralized exchanges “didn’t suffer as much” and some quickly recovered from the drop.

This is as exchanges like Binance and Bybit marked the price closer to real-time trading, while lending protocols like Aave had USDe hardcoded it at $1, which shielded them from some of the immediate impact of the brief depew.

Ethena Labs said in a social media post that USDe remains over-collateralized and that widespread liquidations affected the secondary market price of USDe.

“We can confirm the mint & redeem functionality has remained operational throughout with no downtime experienced, and USDe remains overcollateralised,” Ethena Labs wrote in the post.

“Due to liquidations perpetual contracts have been and continue to trade below spot. This creates additional unexpected uPNL within USDe, due to Ethena being short these contracts, which is currently in the process of being realised to the benefit of the protocol,” the project added.

Binance has said it’s reviewing affected accounts and liquidations, along with the “appropriate compensation measures.”

Ethena’s governance token, ENA, fell as much as 40% during the slide before it started to recover. It’s down nearly 25% in the last 24-hour period.

Solana has become one of the most promising digital asset blockchains in the last several years. Solana has built a reputation among developers, institutions, and even retail investors, being the fastest transaction platform with low costs.

Simultaneously, Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, has been at the centre of supporting adoption in various ecosystems by ensuring that, through its Launchpool initiative, project visibility is offered to projects at their early stages. The convergence between the two forces, the Binance platform Launchpool and the Solana ecosystem, which is growing, is also a significant milestone in the evolution of decentralised finance and blockchain innovation.

The connection becomes obvious when the initiatives of Binance that can enhance Solana-based projects are analysed. Launchpool has served to introduce millions of Binance users to new blockchain applications by providing access to new tokens before they find their way to mainstream listings. In Solana’s case, it implies a direct reach to one of the most liquid user bases in crypto. With the Solana price gaining more and more traction among traders and long-term investors, Launchpool is a potent accelerant that can help close the distance between ambitious Solana startups and a worldwide fanbase.

Understanding Binance Launchpool
Binance Launchpool is a service enabling a visitor to deposit popular cryptocurrencies, including BNB, BUSD, or other coins, to earn new tokens before their official listing on Binance. The idea behind the concept is very simple but highly effective: it allows users to get early access to new projects at no initial cost other than a stake and provides tokens to them. In the case of the projects, it can provide an influx of liquidity, marketing, and credibility in massive amounts.

Binance CMO Rachel Conlan echoed the platform’s innovative attitude, something that sums up the Binance Launchpool perfectly: “Every move we make at Binance is designed to scale awareness, build trust, and transform curiosity into lasting confidence. That’s how we grow not just our platform, but the entire crypto ecosystem.”

Solana-based tokens become visible and distributed as soon as they join this ecosystem. Instead of having to look for an audience in an already saturated market, Solana projects will be able to utilise Binance, which has a large audience of retail and institutional investors. This generates a symbiotic bond: Solana ecosystem receives a wave of attention and investment, and Binance reinforces its image as the primary launchpad of innovative blockchain projects.

How Solana Benefits from Launchpool Integration
The effect of Launchpool on Solana cannot be underrated. Solana has always stood in the line of high-performance decentralised applications, yet numerous of these endeavours do not find their way. Launchpool is providing them with an avenue of breaking traditional barriers by showing their tokens to millions of active users.

To Solana developers, this exposure is not just capital. It establishes the space in which the ideas can be tested at a large scale, user communities can be organised within a relatively short period, and liquidity can develop naturally. Additionally, since tokens emitted via Launchpool tend to receive substantial trading volume after being listed, it creates valid data sets that investors can use to currently assess the viability of Solana projects.

This, in turn, reinforces the story of Solana as a system, not only capable of fast transactions but also of supporting affluent communities and long-term development. Through the support of Binance, in addition to Launchpool’s reputation, Solana projects can shine against the backdrop of an increasingly competitive Web3 industry.

Furthermore, the Binance Insights Hub has highlighted that Bitcoin may be losing its dominance in the market: “Bitcoin dominance dropped to 57.3%”. This highlights that there are chances within the space for alternative cryptocurrencies like Solana to make their mark.

The Role of Liquidity and User Adoption
Liquidity is commonly the blood of new tokens, and this is where Launchpool offers an incomparable edge. Solana-based projects which are launched through Launchpool are immediately given market depth so that initial investors are not required to undergo rampant slippage in buying and selling. This not only stabilises the price of tokens but also instils confidence in users who would otherwise be reluctant to use it when it is newer.

Furthermore, the presence of Binance worldwide exposes the Solana projects in areas where a Solana exchange might not be available yet. This can speed up adoption globally and the feedback loop of more users using Solana-based tokens is an incentive to developers to build more, which in turn provides more attention and investment to the ecosystem.

The Bigger Picture
The implications of Binance Launchpool for Solana are significant. With ongoing efforts by Solana to improve its infrastructure in the form of Firedancer, DoubleZero, and other developments of its validators, the network is set to enable unprecedented throughput. As Binance scales, incorporating Solana projects, the scene is positioned to ensure a continued rise in decentralised finance, gaming, and real-world asset tokenisation on the network.

Ultimately, trust is another element that makes this collaboration even more forceful. When users see that Binance Launchpool supports the Solana token, they will have a higher chance of investing in proper projects that can offer them more opportunities for engaging in the crypto space. This helps ease adoption and open doors to both casual investors and institutions to get into the ecosystem.

Whale wallets boosted holdings by 22.45%, adding roughly 0.76 million LINK ($13.7 million). LINK trades near $17.70, eyeing $21.3–$27.9 if breakout continues.Large wallets added about 0.66 million UNI ($4 million) as the price held an ascending triangle pattern. A breakout above $6.7 could target $8–$9.6 next.Mega whales bought 0.82 billion DOGE ($156 million) during the selloff. With CMF above zero and fading bearish pressure, DOGE could revisit $0.26–$0.30 soon.The market tumbled after Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, wiping out nearly $19 billion in crypto liquidations within a day. Yet while traders panicked, crypto whales were seen buying.

On-chain data shows large investors added exposure across three altcoins — signaling confidence that this sell-off was sentiment-driven, not structural. Here’s a look at what whales are buying and why these tokens could lead the next rebound.

Chainlink (LINK)Donald Trump’s 100% China tariffs triggered one of the steepest market-wide selloffs in months. While most altcoins crumbled under pressure, Chainlink (LINK) drew quiet accumulation from large holders — and the data backs it up.

According to Nansen, whale wallets holding over 100,000 LINK boosted their positions by 22.45%, bringing total holdings to 4.16 million LINK. That means whales added roughly 0.76 million LINK, worth about $13.7 million at the current LINK price.

The top 100 addresses also increased their balance by 0.14%, bringing their collective stash to 646.48 million LINK — a net addition of around 0.90 million LINK, or $16.3 million.

LINK Whales: NansenThe accumulation wasn’t random. Nansen’s data also shows that smart money wallets rose 1.51% (expecting a bounce), and public figure wallets climbed 1.97%. Meanwhile, exchange balances grew 5.85%, meaning retail traders were likely selling.

This move aligns with Chainlink’s strong fundamentals. During the selloff, Chainlink’s oracles delivered real-time pricing data that reportedly allowed Aave to process over $180 million in liquidations without downtime.

The network’s reliability under stress likely reinforced whale conviction in LINK’s DeFi role.

Technically, LINK trades inside a symmetrical consolidation channel, showing tightening price action before a potential breakout.

On the two-day chart, a bullish RSI divergence has formed: while prices made a lower low near $7.90, RSI made a higher low, hinting at a fortune reversal or at least a rebound.

LINK Price Analysis: TradingViewThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) measures how strong buying or selling pressure is on a scale from 0 to 100, helping identify when assets are overbought or oversold.

At press time, LINK trades near $17.70, just under resistance at $18.40. A breakout above $21.30 could open the path toward $24.90, and a 2-day close above $27.90 might send LINK toward $35.50.

However, if the 2-day candle closes under $16.40, we can expect the bears to dominate.

Uniswap (UNI)While the wider market absorbed the tariff shock, Uniswap (UNI) saw quiet whale accumulation. Wallets holding large amounts of UNI increased their balances from 690.10 million to 690.76 million, adding roughly 0.66 million UNI, worth about $4 million at the current UNI price.

Uniswap Whales: SantimentSponsored

The move came as Uniswap processed nearly $9 billion in daily trading volume, its highest in months, and did so without downtime or network stress — a sign of DeFi stability even in extreme volatility.

Large sell offs are good reminders of how DeFi is simply built different

Uniswap did close to $9b in trading volume today – well above the norm – with no stress or downtime https://t.co/z9SFPCKx1Q

— Hayden Adams 🦄 (@haydenzadams) October 11, 2025
The price chart validates the crypto whale conviction. UNI trades within an ascending triangle, a bullish continuation structure marked by higher lows and a flat upper resistance.

The recent crash produced a long wick, but buyers managed to close the two-day candle back inside the trendline, keeping the pattern intact.

UNI Price Analysis: TradingViewIf UNI breaks above $6.70, the setup opens room for a move toward $8.00 and $9.60. For now, the price structure and whale positioning together suggest bullish bias remains intact despite the broader correction. Invalidation exists if the 2-day candle closes under $5.80.

Dogecoin (DOGE)Among the top memecoins, Dogecoin (DOGE) stood out during the tariff-driven crash. What’s remarkable is that even after dropping nearly 23% in the past 24 hours, DOGE saw one of the most aggressive whale accumulations across the market. This is a clear sign of conviction amid panic.

According to on-chain data, wallets holding over one billion DOGE increased their balances from 71.22 billion to 72.04 billion, adding about 0.82 billion DOGE during the selloff.

At the current DOGE price, that represents roughly $156 million worth of new accumulation by the mega crypto whales.

Dogecoin Whales: SantimentTechnically, Dogecoin is trading near $0.19, rebounding from the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement zone around $0.20. A sustained move above $0.20 could open the door toward $0.22 — the key 0.618 Fibonacci level. That could be followed by $0.26 and $0.30. However, a daily close below $0.17 would invalidate this rebound setup.

Supporting the bullish outlook, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) — which measures money inflow and outflow by large wallets — has stayed consistently above zero throughout the crash.

This indicates that buying pressure remained strong even as the market corrected.

Dogecoin Price Analysis: TradingViewMeanwhile, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator, which tracks the strength balance between buyers and sellers, shows the red bearish bars steadily shrinking. The falling bearish power suggests selling momentum is fading, aligning with the rebound in CMF.

Ver allegedly failed to pay $48 million in taxes tied to his Bitcoin holdings after renouncing U.S. citizenship.

Roger Ver, the early Bitcoin evangelist famously known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” has reached a $48 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in a high-profile tax fraud case.

The development comes after a public plea for presidential intervention in his lawsuit earlier this year.

$48 Million DOJ Deal
The New York Times reported on Thursday that the cryptocurrency investor has entered into a tentative deferred-prosecution agreement with federal authorities to resolve criminal charges filed against him last year.

This follows him being accused of fraud and tax evasion in 2024 for allegedly failing to pay $48 million in taxes on his digital currency holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, the accused is required to pay the same amount to the government.

The deal, which has yet to be filed in court and remains subject to change, says that the accusations will be dropped if he complies with all conditions set by the DOJ.

Ver has, however, remained silent on the matter. “I’d LOVE to say more, but I will follow my tax lawyer’s advice like I’ve been doing for decades,” he wrote to NY Times reporters. “Unfortunately, that means ‘no comment,’” he added.

The former California resident renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and was arrested in Spain last year following the Justice Department’s announcement of plans to extradite him. Prosecutors accused him of concealing the true value of his Bitcoin holdings to avoid paying exit taxes owed when relinquishing his citizenship.

Roger Ver Enlisted Trump Allies in Fraud Case
During the legal proceedings, the 46-year-old reportedly hired several people with ties to U.S. President Donald Trump. The media outlet revealed that he had paid $600,000 to Roger Stone to help challenge the tax charges. He also engaged lawyers David Schoen and Christopher M. Kise, and worked with a lobbying firm run by Trump fundraiser Brian Ballard.

In January this year, Ver had asked for assistance from the president, claiming in a social media video that he was being targeted for his political beliefs and advocacy for cryptocurrency. The Bitcoin proponent also shared that he was facing a potential sentence of over 100 years for his activism.

Since Trump began his second term, the U.S. government’s stance on cryptocurrency has changed a lot. The SEC has dropped several lawsuits, including cases against Coinbase and other major firms, reversing the strict enforcement seen under Joe Biden’s administration.

Early in his term, the president also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road marketplace, and later the BitMEX founders convicted of anti–money laundering violations. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is also seeking clemency for his money-laundering charges.

“Number go up” is not a retirement strategy. Long-term planning needs explicit assumptions, clear knobs to turn, and a way to translate a BTC balance into annual spending power.

CryptoSlate’s Bitcoin retirement calculator does exactly that, marrying a transparent price path with macro toggles and two spending frameworks so you can think in dollars, years, and probabilities, not vibes.

What the calculator doesEstimates your BTC at retirement, based on what you hold today plus what you plan to add each year.Projects a BTC price at your retirement year under Base, Bull, and Bear scenarios.Converts that to portfolio value, then to annual spending using two methods:Equal slice: An even split of your portfolio across your retirement years.Safe Withdrawal Rate: Often set near 4 percent, which targets sustainable spending adjusted for inflation.Lets you toggle macro events that often drive BTC cycles, such as ETF flows, regulation, global liquidity, miner policy, and more.Key terms, quick definitionsSWR, Safe Withdrawal Rate, is a rule of thumb for how much you can spend from a portfolio each year while aiming to preserve purchasing powerSWF, Sovereign Wealth Fund, a state-owned fund investing national savings or resource revenues, which may hold gold, bonds, equities, or, if policy allows, BTCMacro multipliers, the model’s way to reflect real-world tailwinds and headwinds without pretending to predict exact datesThe anchors at a glanceThese are editable in the tool; you can tune them to your house view.

CAGR = (P₂ / P₁)^(1 / Δt) − 1Retirement price = P₁ × (1 + CAGR)^(years to retirement)Macro multipliers, the checkboxes you toggle, apply multiplicative effects to each scenario. For example, strong ETF flows lift Base and Bull more than Bear, while tight liquidity trims all three, especially Bear.

Planning is risk management, not a crystal ball. CryptoSlate’s Bitcoin Retirement Calculator helps you connect your BTC stack to real-world dollars and years, while keeping the assumptions on the table where they belong. Try it, see where your plan stands today, then iterate with better information tomorrow.

Latest Bitcoin Stories

Ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the layer-1 Ethereum blockchain network, is down about 6.7% in the past 24 hours, following Friday’s market crash, showing greater price resilience than many altcoins, which crashed by over 95% in some cases.

The market crash sparked by US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement took the price of ETH down to a low of about $3,510 on Friday, a decline of over 20% in a single day.

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. 

Ethereum price action and analysis. Source: TradingViewThe sudden market downturn liquidated nearly 1.6 million crypto traders, according to Coinglass. Following the market carnage, Sassal, a crypto investor, said:

“BTC and ETH did relatively well compared to the long-tail of alts, which nuked 70% or more, with some even going down 95% or more. I'm not usually into conspiracies, but clearly this was not normal market behavior.”Friday’s market crash represented the most severe crypto liquidation event in history, wiping away up to $20 billion in 24 hours and shaking investor confidence in the markets, as fears of a protracted trade war between the US and China gripped traders.

ETH to $5,500 next or will inbound sell pressure suppress price? ETH is down over 22% from its all-time high of $4,957 reached in August, according to data from TradingView.

Analysts from investment research firm Fundstrat forecast that ETH could rally to a new all-time high of $5,550 after bottoming out in Friday’s market downturn.

Ether exchange inflow mean hits highest level recoded in 2025. Source: CryptoQuantHowever, potential sell pressure could keep prices down. The Ethereum exchange inflow mean, a metric that tracks the number of coins sent to exchanges for possible selling, reached 79 on Saturday, according to CryptoQuant.

This marks the highest level of ETH exchange inflows recorded in 2025. Higher exchange inflow levels can mean increased selling pressure, while reduced exchange inflows signal that investors are holding for the long term, creating a foundation for price increases. 

Withdrawals from Ethereum’s staking queue also hit a record $10 billion in October, which could signal potential sell pressure from validators exiting the queue, but does not necessarily mean they will sell, analysts from market intelligence platform Nansen told Cointelegraph.
