Why the Recent Crypto Flash Crash Was Long in the Making

The crypto market endured one of its most brutal days on record as a rapid sell-off erased more than $20 billion, sending shockwaves across digital asset trading platforms. The event, described by traders as the worst liquidation in crypto history, triggered widespread losses and renewed scrutiny of the market’s underlying structure. On October 10, Bitcoin plunged roughly $10,000 within minutes during active trading, briefly dipping from around $125,000 to near $115,000. While that drop represented less than 10% of its value, the pace of the decline—more than 5% in under 10 minutes—amplified the panic. Major altcoins fared even worse, with…

Chinese Firm Gives Eric Trump’s Cryptocurrency Company Generous Tech Purchase Terms

A Chinese tech manufacturer is extending unusually generous terms to a cryptocurrency venture partly owned by Eric Trump, raising questions among industry observers and lawmakers about potential political or national security implications. According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Beijing-based Bitmain is supplying American Bitcoin Corporation with hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of advanced mining servers. The company is reportedly allowing the Trump-linked firm to defer payments and settle invoices in “pledged Bitcoin,” a structure that lets the buyer redeem the digital currency up to two years later at current prices—a window much longer than what…

Fear Grips Crypto Industry as Risk-Off Sentiment Grows

US-listed Ethereum and Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw sharp withdrawals at the start of last week, with total net outflows reaching roughly $755 million. The move followed one of the most severe liquidation waves in the history of digital assets, erasing over $500 billion in market value during the weekend.

Data from SoSoValue indicated that spot Bitcoin ETFs registered $326.52 million in withdrawals, while Ethereum-linked funds saw an even larger $428.52 million pulled out. This marked the third straight…

Citibank to Start Offering Crypto Custody Services Next Year

Citigroup is preparing to enter the digital asset custody space, with plans to launch cryptocurrency custody services by 2026. The move follows several years of development and internal testing, according to Biswarup Chatterjee, the bank’s global head of innovation and partnerships.

Morgan Stanley Endorses Crypto as Wall Street Warms Up to Digital Assets

Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley has encouraged investors to consider allocating between 2% and 4% of their portfolios to cryptocurrencies.

Russia is Facilitating the Establishment of Sovereign Infrastructure for Crypto Operations

Russia is taking steps to create its own system for managing crypto transactions through government-backed infrastructure. The initiative aims to tackle the current difficulties surrounding the use of digital assets. Reports from the Russian news outlet TASS suggest that the project will introduce a new legal framework, allowing broader use of crypto in areas that have not yet been explored. Although the State Duma and the Bank of Russia have been working on developing national regulations for crypto, the country still doesn’t have a unified government-run platform that oversees digital transactions. Such infrastructure would allow multiple organizations to use cryptocurrencies…
