Bitcoin and ether traders remain in wait-and-watch mode after last week’s tariff shock wiped nearly $20 billion in leveraged positions over the weekend, denting confidence and risk-on sentiment among a majority of market participants. The market’s mood has since shifted from panic to fragile optimism as both Washington and Beijing toned down their rhetoric, offering a brief pause in what had looked like a brewing trade war. Bitcoin (BTC) rose 1.3% in the past 24 hours to about $113,000, while ether (ETH) traded near $4,100 after briefly crossing $4,200 overnight. Solana (SOL) added 2.9% to $201.8, XRP gained 2%, and dogecoin (DOGE) climbed 2.3% to $0.20. The broad market capitalization stands at $3.9 trillion — still about 6% below pre-crash levels, but up 4.4% from Sunday’s lows, data shows. The mood is improving, if unevenly.

Aggressive selling near $2.66 resistance and a major Binance inflow signal short-term distribution while volume data show institutional dip-buying defending $2.55. News Background XRP’s rebound from Friday’s sub-$1.58 liquidation lows lost steam overnight as fresh whale activity hit exchanges. A single 23.9 M XRP transfer (≈ $63 M) to Binance coincided with selling pressure that erased early gains. The move came as open interest jumped 2.4 % to $1.36 B, suggesting leveraged positioning remains elevated even after the $32 B market-cap recovery that followed Trump’s tariff-driven crypto rout. Broader risk markets stabilized as trade-war rhetoric softened, but derivatives desks flagged renewed short build-ups near $2.65–$2.66. Price Action Summary XRP traded a $0.11 band (4 %) from $2.54 to $2.66 between Oct 13 05:00 and Oct 14 04:00.

Dogecoin traded volatile through the October 13–14 session, slipping 1% after failing to sustain a breakout above $0.22. The token found strong demand near $0.20 as institutional flows persisted, even as broader markets reacted to shifting trade rhetoric and renewed regulatory scrutiny following House of Doge’s Nasdaq debut. News Background Markets steadied after the Trump administration softened its tone on China tariffs, triggering a partial rebound in risk assets. DOGE bounced from $0.18 lows earlier in the week to test $0.22 resistance before profit-taking emerged. The listing of House of Doge — the meme coin’s affiliated entity — via reverse merger on Nasdaq has amplified corporate exposure to digital assets, but also raised regulatory compliance challenges for institutional investors. “The participation patterns we’re seeing — strong morning sell volume and disciplined evening accumulation — are hallmarks of active institutional management,” said a senior strategist at a digit...

This is a daily analysis by CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole. We've probably all heard this phrase: "Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern." The old saying is perfectly applicable to the bitcoin (BTC) market, where the crash on Friday marked the third time bulls failed to maintain gains above the critical trendline drawn from the 2017 and 2021 highs, raising the possibility of a deeper drop to $100,000 or lower. This repeated inability to hold above that level highlights a persistent resistance, suggesting that the trendline is now a key battleground likely defining the limits of the bullish strength in this cycle. CoinDesk highlighted the trendline resistance a month ago, noting that bulls had twice failed to maintain gains above it. The long wicks on the July, August, and October candles signal bull fatigue above the trendline. At the same time, the MACD histogram on the monthly chart – although still ...

Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets: Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas. Bitcoin is trading at $115,157, steady after a volatile weekend which began with the largest crypto liquidation event in history , while Ether rose to $4,146, extending its recovery from Friday’s lows near $3,700. Elsewhere, Solana gained 11% to $196, Bittensor surged 28%, and Cronos jumped 11%, according to CoinDesk market data, as capital rotated back into high-beta assets following a $20 billion leverage flush. Both Washington and Beijing worked to cool down trade tensions over the weekend , helping the recovery. Bitwise’s Jonathan Man points to positioning as the key factor: leverage was stretched across long-tail tokens, so when liquidity vanished, the wipeout was severe — but it cleared the decks...

A modest reversal from Friday evening's carnage in crypto markets is underway after some calming trade war-related remarks from both Beijing and Washington. The walk-backs began late Saturday when China's Ministry of Commerce said its rate-earth export controls are not blanket bans, and that eligible applications will continue to receive licenses. The agency further said it expected those controls to have just a "minimal impact" on global production and supply chains. In D.C. meanwhile, Vice President Vance on Sunday morning said President Trump appreciates his friendship with Chinese Premier Xi Jinping and is willing to be a reasonable negotiator with that country. The news has sparked a bounce across crypto, with bitcoin (BTC) returning to just under $114,000, higher by about 2% over the past 24 hours. In the far more harder hit alt sector, the moves are more sizable, with ether (ETH), solana (SOL) and dogecoin (DOGE) all ahead in the 5%-7% area. Needless to sa...

As the final quarter of 2025 gets underway, investors are entering a historically favorable period for crypto markets — particularly for bitcoin (BTC), which has delivered an average Q4 return of 79% since 2013. According to a new report from CoinDesk Indices, several factors may help that trend repeat, including monetary easing, surging institutional adoption and fresh regulatory momentum in the U.S. The backdrop is shifting fast. The Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut brought interest rates to their lowest level in nearly three years, setting the stage for broader risk-on sentiment. Institutions responded aggressively in Q3: U.S. spot bitcoin and ether (ETH) ETFs saw combined inflows of over $18 billion, while public companies now hold more than 5% of bitcoin’s total supply. Altcoins, too, have made inroads, with over 50 listed firms now holding non-BTC tokens on their balance sheets, 40 of which joined just last quarter. Bitcoin ended Q3 up 8%, closing at $114,000, driven large...

Picture someone's first day in crypto. They heard the promises about owning their own money, accessing global markets, and participating in the new economy. They download a wallet, buy some ETH, and find an interesting app. Then it happens. "Please switch to the Base network." What? They Google frantically, watch a YouTube tutorial, and maybe they figure it out, maybe they don't. Most just leave, with a study finding 80% of crypto users quit blockchains within 90 days. The greatest innovation of the last decade — the proliferation of powerful blockchains — has inadvertently created Web3's greatest weakness: a user experience so fragmented and clumsy that it pushes away all but the most determined users. And the most glaring symptom of this failure? The humble "Network Switch", a feature that has become a symbol of everything holding us back. The MetaMask Years Taught Me Everything When I was at ConsenSys a decade ago, the mission was simple. Onboa...

China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) says its new rare-earth export controls are lawful national-security steps — not blanket bans — and that licenses will be issued for eligible civilian trade, according to a spokesperson’s Q&A posted on X Sunday morning local time. Rare earths — a group of 17 elements used in permanent-magnet motors for electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines, defense electronics and other high-tech gear — occupy an outsized role in supply chains because China dominates the sector. Beijing accounts for roughly 70% of global production and about 90% of processing and refining; so licensing shifts can ripple downstream even when mining or final manufacturing happens elsewhere. In remarks published only hours ago, the MOFCOM spokesperson framed the Oct. 9 action — taken with the General Administration of Customs — as part of a longer effort to “refine” China’s export control system in line with domestic law and non-proliferation obligations. The spokesperson...

While bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and other major cryptocurrencies tumbled in a $19 billion liquidation event on Friday, major gold-backed digital assets bucked the trend amid the precious metal’s rally. Tokens tied to physical gold, including Paxos’ PAXG and Tether’s XAUT, were among the few to hold their ground, and even edge higher, as broader markets sank. Bitcoin lost 8.5% of its value in the last 24-hour period, while the broader crypto market plunged 12.75% as measured by the CoinDesk 20 ( CD20 ) index. PAXG has meanwhile dropped just 0.23% to $3,998, while XAUt is up 0.2% to $4,010. A troy ounce of gold, which these tokens are backed by, closed near $4,018 . These coins are backed by reserves of the precious metal, offering crypto investors a refuge from volatility that mirrors gold’s historical role in traditional finance. Year-to-date, these tokens are up more than 50% amid gold’s historic rally. But while gold-backed crypto weathered the crash, there are signs that the...

The crypto market experienced its largest liquidation event ever on Friday night U.S. time , forcing out leveraged bullish bets worth $16 billion across bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), solana (SOL), and the broader altcoin market. Several altcoins have crashed between 20% to 40% as the market recoiled. Naturally, bulls may be wondering whether the recovery could be swift or take time. Understanding the process that follows a crash like this suggests the recovery is likely to be gradual, testing the patience of bullish investors. "When the market turns like this, there’s usually a pretty straightforward playbook for the aftermath," Zaheer Ebtikar, chief investment officer and founder of Split Capital, said on X. Here's what a typical sequence looks like: Market bleeds and market makers pause The initial phase involves the market "bleeding out" or tanking deeper as liquidation orders flood exchanges, pushing prices lower. We saw that happen overnight a...

XRP collapsed as much as 42% in Friday’s trade, its sharpest one-day drop in recent years, as whales liquidated across major venues and futures open interest fell $150 million. The selloff drove price as low as $1.64 before a partial recovery to $2.36, with volumes surging 164% above the 30-day average — a sign of forced deleveraging across corporate desks. What to Know • XRP fell from $2.82 to $2.36 between Oct 10, 01:00 and Oct 11, 00:00, posting a 16% daily loss. • Intraday volatility peaked at 43%, with prices briefly wicking to $1.64 during high-frequency liquidation sweeps. • Institutional futures open interest dropped from $9.0B to $8.85B as long liquidations hit $21M versus $2M shorts. • 320M XRP transferred to exchange wallets in the past week, confirming whale distribution pressure. • Late-session buying stabilized price near $2.35–$2.40, with accumulation volumes exceeding 12M in the final 15 minutes. News Background • Ripple’s ecosystem faces macro and structur...

Crypto liquidations continued their rout early morning Asia hours after the broader crypto market continued its plunge hours after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened 100% tariffs on Chinese imports via a Truth Social post , which triggered a global risk-off wave and wiped out more than $16 billion in long positions by midday Hong Kong time. Trader anxiety that a cooling trade war was about to re-ignite sent a macro shock rippling through crypto, triggering one of the largest long declines in prices of BTC, ETH and other digital assets seen all year. Bitcoin recovered to $113,294 and Ether to $3,844 as the CoinDesk 20 Index slid 12.1%. The world's largest cryptocurrency had fallen below $110,000 briefly, marking a 10% decline over the past 24 hours. Crypto's total market cap dropped to $3.87 trillion, and roughly $16.7 billion of the $19.1 billion in liquidations came from longs, while Ethena’s USDe briefly printed $0.9996, a mild deviation that highlights peg stress whe...

XRP chopped in a narrow $2.78–$2.85 band, masking heavy institutional selling and rising leverage risks. Exchange reserves climbed to nine-month highs on 440M tokens distributed over 30 days, while futures open interest swelled near $9B. Bulls continue to defend the $2.78 floor, but distribution patterns cap upside momentum. News Background XRP traded flat to lower in the 24 hours to Oct. 10, opening near $2.83 and closing at $2.82. The token briefly rallied to $2.85 before rejection, with volumes spiking above 123M at 08:00 — double the daily average — confirming institutional activity at key levels. The session came as traders positioned ahead of macro catalysts, with Fed policy and regulatory clarity continuing to shape sentiment.

Leading privacy blockchain Monero has released an important upgrade that significantly strengthens user protection against spy nodes. The blockchain announced CLI v0.18.4.3 'Fluorine Fermi' on X , calling it a highly recommended release that enhances protection against spy nodes. Monero relies on a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network where nodes (computers) connect directly to each other to share and verify transactions and blocks. Privacy is ensured through several key technologies: each transaction uses unique stealth addresses so that the recipient’s actual address stays hidden; ring signatures mix a sender’s transaction with other decoy transactions, making it unclear who really sent the funds; and Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) hide the amount being transferred. (RingCT hides amounts by replacing them with a technical process called cryptographic commitments. Instead of showing the exact value, each transaction includes proofs that inputs equal outputs wi...

Bitcoin (BTC) traders remain optimistic about steadier price ascents in the coming weeks, even as profit-taking dented a recent rally that set fresh records. The premier cryptocurrency by market value briefly fell to $120,000 during the overnight trade, dragging the broader market lower. Ether (ETH) dropped 2.4% in the past 24 hours to reverse all gains from the past 7 days, Solana’s SOL, xrp (XRP), dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano’s ADA fell up to 3%, CoinDesk data show. The weak tone in BTC contradicts the continued demand for the U.S.-listed spot ETFs. This week, ETFs have pulled in $2.72 billion in inflows, which traders said marks the asset’s emerging role as a digital hedge alongside gold, which itself broke through the $4,000 per ounce barrier this week. Those numbers are difficult to ignore, especially with the Federal Reserve leaning dovish after its September rate cut. Pauses, however, have been common during recent rallies. After peaking in July, bitcoin slid 9% in the follo...

XRP spiked above $2.90 on double-average volume before profit-taking reversed gains, leaving price back at $2.85. A fresh supply zone formed at $2.92–$2.93, while the $2.85 floor is now under scrutiny as macro headwinds weigh on flows. News Background XRP rallied 2% intraday on Oct. 8, jumping from $2.88 to $2.93 at 17:00 on 86.6M turnover — nearly double the 24-hour average of 48.3M. The move coincided with heightened geopolitical tensions and central bank maneuvering, which fueled broader volatility across risk assets. Traders noted that despite stronger institutional adoption trends, profit-taking dominated into the U.S. close. Price Action Summary XRP traded a $0.08 corridor (3% range) between $2.85 and $2.93. Afternoon breakout through $2.90 resistance peaked at $2.926 before reversing. The rally established a supply zone at $2.92–$2.93. Closing hour saw price slip from $2.86 to $2.85, with 2.97M volume confirming a breakdown. XRP settled at $2.851, down 2.5% from intrada...

Dogecoin failed to sustain above $0.26, triggering heavy institutional profit-taking that dragged price back toward $0.25. Despite the short-term retreat, on-chain flows show large holders adding 30M tokens (approximately $8M), suggesting accumulation remains intact even as resistance caps upside momentum. News Background DOGE traded a 6% range between $0.24 and $0.26 in the 24 hours to Oct. 9. The token rallied into $0.26 during the afternoon session but met strong institutional selling pressure. Whale addresses added more than 30M DOGE, reinforcing longer-term positioning despite near-term weakness. Analysts highlighted parallels to prior historical cycles where key resistance breaks have unlocked exponential upside, with $0.41 flagged as a critical longer-term trigger. Price Action Summary DOGE spiked from $0.25 to $0.26 around 17:00 on 750M turnover — double the daily average. Heavy profit-taking at $0.26 reversed gains, pulling price back to $0.25 by session close. Late t...

Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets: Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas. Bitcoin is beginning the Thursday trading day in Asia trading above $123,000, and its chart looks like a rocket trail through the fog, analysts say, painting it as an aggressive rally high powered by ETF inflows, mid-tier accumulation, and a quiet conviction that this isn’t the top yet. That conviction is grounded in three converging signals from major market watchers. In its most recent note , QCP wrote that it sees capital rotating out of overextended AI equities and into “credibility hedges” like gold and Bitcoin as policy uncertainty deepens. Glassnode points to record ETF inflows and mid-tier accumulation flipping resistance into support. And CryptoQuant wrote that it finds on-chain profit-taking...

Bitcoin’s latest push through record levels has left short-term holder (STH) whales sitting on their fattest paper profits of the cycle of about $10.1 billion, according to CryptoQuant data. These are entities holding more than 1,000 BTC that only entered the market in the past five months — the so-called “weak hands” of the cohort who usually fold first when volatility spikes. The unrealized profit tally is the highest this cycle, a swing that reflects how quickly fortunes can change in bitcoin. Just weeks ago, late September’s dip left this same group underwater. Now, thanks to ETF inflows, a U.S. shutdown backdrop, and softer dollar conditions, they’re suddenly sitting on tens of billions in gains. But that’s where the risk comes in as short-term whales aren’t famous for patience. A $10 billion profit pool is exactly the kind of setup that tempts some holders to take chips off the table, testing how much new demand really stands behind the rally. Exchange inflow data already s...

XRP fell nearly 4% in Tuesday’s session as institutional selling hit mid-day and forced a breakdown from the $2.99 resistance zone. A volume spike almost seven times the daily average confirmed liquidation flows, with price stabilizing only after touching $2.878 support. Traders now eye whether the $2.85–$2.87 band can hold ahead of Ripple’s banking charter review deadline. News Background Ripple’s push for a U.S. national banking charter has drawn scrutiny from regulators, with the Oct. 7 OCC deadline marking a key moment in the review. Global macro remains a drag: trade disputes and diverging central bank policy continue to sap FX and crypto liquidity, a headwind for enterprise-facing tokens like XRP. On Binance, custody reserves rose ~19% over the week, suggesting distribution pressure even as some whale accumulation continues on-chain. Price Action Summary Resistance: $2.993 confirmed as ceiling after repeated rejections on high volume. Breakdown: The heaviest decline o...

A7A5’s appearance at the recent Token2049 conference wasn’t in contravention of Singaporean law, despite being backed by a sanctioned Russian bank, highlighting the limits of the city-state’s sanctions regime, which applies only to licensed financial firms. A7A5's ruble-based stablecoin is backed by Russia’s state-owned Promsvyazbank (PSB), an entity sanctioned by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as well as financial authorities in the U.S., U.K., and most Western jurisdictions .
