📉 Crypto traders lost an average of $400–500 million per day to liquidations in 2025 According to CoinGlass’s annual report, total forced liquidations in crypto futures exceeded $150 billion in 2025. On average, traders lost between $400–500 million per day due to positions being closed because of insufficient margin. These figures reflect the notional value of leveraged positions, but even accounting for that, the scale of losses remains significant. The biggest damage came during several sharp market crashes. The largest occurred between October 10–11, when total liquidations exceeded $19 billion in a single day — almost entirely from long positions.

📉 Bitcoin crashes threefold against Trump’s stablecoin on Binance The Bitcoin price against the USD1 stablecoin briefly dropped to $24,111 — more than three times lower than its price in other USD pairs. The dip and rapid recovery happened within one minute and affected only the BTC/USD1 trading pair on Binance. The exchange has not commented on the incident. USD1 is issued by World Liberty Financial, a project linked to the family of Donald Trump. The anomaly occurred just hours after the launch of a bonus program for USD1 holders. The exchange promised 20% rewards on deposits in this stablecoin. Since the announcement, USD1’s market capitalization has increased by more than $200 million, and trading volume in the BTC/USD1 pair surged 7×. A similar incident occurred in 2024 on BitMEX, when Bitcoin briefly crashed to $8,900 on that exchange while the market price was around $64,000.

👀 JPMorgan is considering launching crypto trading for institutional clients JPMorgan may begin offering cryptocurrency trading to its institutional clients. Bloomberg reports this, citing sources familiar with the bank’s plans. According to them, JPMorgan’s markets division is evaluating the possibility of launching crypto trading, including both spot and derivatives. The discussions are at an early stage and are directly linked to growing client interest following regulatory changes in the United States. In October, the bank already allowed institutional clients to use Bitcoin and Ether as collateral for loans. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon remains skeptical about cryptocurrencies and has repeatedly called Bitcoin “a tool for criminals.” However, in the spring, during a meeting with investors, he said that the bank would still provide clients with access to cryptocurrencies despite his personal views. “I don’t think you should smoke, but I don’t take away your right to do it. Bitcoin is the same,” Dimon said at the time, commenting on the bank’s plans.

🇰🇷 In South Korea, officials are urging the urgent institutionalization of stablecoins, warning that otherwise the country risks losing control over its payment system. ➤ U.S. dollar–pegged stablecoins are already being used in the real economy, including for paying salaries to foreign workers. ➤ Businesses are starting to use them for international settlements regardless of the government’s stance. ➤ National stablecoins remain outside the financial infrastructure, while business activity and payments are shifting toward dollar-based stablecoins. ➤ Stablecoins are faster and cheaper than traditional cross-border payment systems, making their mass adoption within the financial system almost inevitable. ➤ Parliament is already preparing the “Digital Asset Basic Act.” Authorities view stablecoins not only as a defense against dollarization, but also as a growth strategy focused on small businesses and cultural payments.

🐻 CryptoQuant believes the Bitcoin bear market has already begun. The key signal is a sharp slowdown in demand. After three growth waves since 2023 (U.S. spot ETFs, the U.S. presidential election, and the boom of Bitcoin treasury companies), demand has fallen since early October 2025. According to them, the main inflow of new capital has already been exhausted. Price targets from CryptoQuant: 🟢 Nearest support: $70,000 (possible within 3–6 months). 🟢 Deeper scenario: $56,000 — the realized price level, which has historically coincided with bear market bottoms. This would imply about –55% from the ATH, making it the mildest bear market in BTC history. 🟢 Formally, the bear phase began in mid-November, following the largest liquidation on October 10.
