Binance confirmed it paid $283 million to compensate users affected by Friday’s massive market crash, when several assets on the exchange (USDe, BNSOL, and WBETH) sharply depegged 🔸

The exchange said the payouts covered futures, margin, and loan users who held these tokens as collateral during the chaos. USDe, for example, briefly plunged below $0.66 on Binance, though prices on other exchanges stayed relatively stable.

🙅‍♂️ Binance also denied rumors that the depeg caused the broader market crash, stating that “the market sell-off came first.” It blamed the sharp moves on years-old limit orders and cascading liquidations triggered by the extreme volatility.

After Making $200M, the Whale Just Flipped Short Once More 📉

A few days ago, before the biggest liquidation event in crypto history, one trader made the right move at the perfect time.

This whale quietly deposited $80 million to Hyperliquid and opened a massive 3,500 BTC short — later adding even more Bitcoin and $240 million worth of ETH shorts. Within a day, the market collapsed, wiping out billions in liquidations. When the dust settled, he had closed almost all positions with an estimated profit of around $200 million.

🔍 And he’s not done. After closing his winning trades, the same address has reshorted Bitcoin, adding another 1,800 BTC to his position, worth roughly $200 million in total.

This isn’t some random lucky trader. Back in Friday he opened nine-figure short minutes before the news dropped and the massive cascading liquidations happened. Many think that this whale could be an insider 🤔

In China, being blacklisted by the social credit or court system can strip you of essential digital access — including WeChat Pay. Without it, you can’t receive a salary, make payments, or use services that hundreds of millions depend on 🇨🇳

Young people affected by this move are being pushed into homelessness. They lose employment options, financial mobility, and basic access to life in a cashless society.

🟠 That’s exactly the kind of control crypto resists. With Bitcoin or Ethereum, there’s no central authority that can “turn off” your wallet and it impossible for you to manage your money or receive payments.

It's free money season again 💰

Monad has officially launched its $MON airdrop claim portal at LINK. Over 230,000 wallets are eligible with claims open until November 3, 2025. The snapshot was taken on September 30, and tokens will be distributed after Monad’s mainnet and TGE, expected later this year, more info here in docs.

😮 The project is already being called one of the biggest airdrops of 2025, with early estimates suggesting a $12B FDV based on pre-market trading. The claim portal supports both EVM and Solana wallets through Privy authentication — no seed phrases or approvals required. Please don't get scammed.

Traffic is extremely high, so there’s no need to rush, claiming now only reserves your allocation before the TGE. Beware of scam links ❗️

This chart shows what usually happens after the hype fades. It tracks every coin listed on Binance from January 2025 until October 8, before the recent market flush that nuked altcoins by 40% to 99%. Even before that collapse, the average coin was already down about 12% since listing 📉

The returns are measured in cumulative log terms, which show the real compounding effect of losses. The line keeps drifting lower because most new listings fail to hold value over time.

💰 When a new token hits Binance unexperienced traders rush to buy thinking they are "early". Remember this chart. History shows that excitement fades, liquidity dries up, and prices quietly bleed out.

How can we use this information? For starters, stop buying 99% of the coins that get listed on Binance. If you believe in your abilities, you can try shorting altcoins a few months after they get listed if price action is confirmed bearish 🐻

This whale lost around $2.75 million on Binance during the recent market crash and was compensated $0.26 in spot voucher 🤣

Resentment and distrust of centralized exchanges has grown significantly since the crash five days ago. $24.33 billion worth of crypto was withdrawn from Binance in just the last 7 days.

😨 CZ faces widespread criticism on CT. People cite Hyperliquid as an example of how a crypto exchange should operate while Binance is accused of market manipulation, trading against its own users, and other shady practices.

❗️Here's some advice that will always be relevant: Don't keep more money on CEXs than you absolutely have to

People in Sydney are camping outside of ABC Bullion trading offices to buy some physical gold 🥇

FOMO is real, the price of world's largest asset hit a new ATH of $4,217 per ounce today 🥇

Few people know that you can purchase a crypto token tied to the price of real gold without waiting in line on the street. There are two options 👇

🌉 XAUT, which is issued by Tether

🌉 PAXG, which is issued by Paxos

@CoinPost

Paxos just casually minted $300,000,000,000,000 (300 trillion) worth of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoins on Ethereum blockchain and then burned them all 20 minutes later 😂

Nothing to see here, keep scrolling 😁

Over the past year, Donald Trump and his family have reportedly pulled in more than $1 billion in pre-tax profits from their crypto ventures 💰

They’ve dipped into all kinds of projects, from trading cards and memecoins to stablecoins, tokens, and DeFi platforms.

Making money in crypto is easy, especially when your dad happens to be the President of the United States 😂

MegaETH, one of the most anticipated new Ethereum Layer 2 projects, opened registration for its public token sale, hosted on the same platform that ran this summer’s Plasma launch 🔍

🔗 The sale will take place HERE through Sonar, Echo’s investing platform by Cobie. Registration is open from October 15 to October 27, and users must first create an account and complete KYC on Echo before they can participate.

The $MEGA sale will use an English-style auction with a fixed ceiling price, you will be able to pay in USDT on Ethereum. 50% of tokens unlock at TGE, and the rest vest linearly over 6 months.

⚡️ MegaETH positions itself as the “first real-time blockchain” (it will be super fast) capable of over 100,000 TPS and sub-millisecond latency, with major backers including Dragonfly and Vitalik Buterin.

I think this is a good opportunity to get easy 3x-5x, and I plan to participate

@CoinPost

The Fear & Greed index for U.S. stock market sits at Extreme Fear while SPX is only 2.2% from away from ATH, lol. Gold keeps printing new highs above $4,300 almost every day. Weird times 😱

U.S. regional banks are wobbling again, put–call and VIX say hedging is heavy, and crypto took the hit first with BTC touching $103.3k today 🔽

This is the kind of news where you start planning your entries. My plan is simple. I will scale into bitcoin between here and $96k.

🟠 That means staggered bids, not all at once. Position size stays modest and I leave room for DCA.

I want exposure before the crowd flips back to greed. If stress worsens, the invalidation keeps the damage small ✅

How to Increase Your Luck Surface Area in Crypto 🍀

You can’t control luck, but you can control how often luck can find you. “Luck surface area” means the number of opportunities your actions expose you to. The more you experiment, learn, and connect — the more likely you are to be in the right place when the next big thing happens 🤞

Success often comes from being early, curious, and connected. Here’s how to expand your surface area 👇

1️⃣Try new things on-chain. Every cycle rewards people who experiment early. Airdrops, new chains, and emerging projects always start quietly. The ones testing small amounts and interacting directly often catch asymmetrical plays.

2️⃣Keep learning, stay active. Crypto evolves fast, meta changes every few weeks. Reading, exploring new protocols, and trying new stuff in DeFi keeps you close to opportunities.

3️⃣Bear markets are filters. Surviving long enough in this market, holding conviction, keeping liquidity, buying bottoms, and keeping stables to deploy = gives you a chance when most have left.

4️⃣Build your circle. Having a few people to think with, learn with, and share alpha with is priceless. Good chats keep you accountable, open new doors, and help you spot what others miss.

5️⃣Be visible on Crypto Twitter. Crypto lives on X. Being active there, building reputation, and having followers with real engagement exposes you to endless deal flow, collaborations, and early signals. A well-built account on CT can change your life.

#FAQ

@CoinPost

Short-term Bitcoin holders are deep in the red again 😭

This chart shows that every time their loss ratio spiked to similar levels, BTC found a local bottom soon after 😮

Capitulation from short-term traders often sets up the next leg higher. If the pattern repeats, this could be the start of another accumulation phase. But if not... 🤣

Why You Shouldn’t Short Pre-Market Tokens 😨

Pre-market futures let you trade a token before it even exists on spot, because TGE didn't yet happen.

👌👌 Going long 1x is usually fine. You’re just gaining exposure and can't be liquidated. Shorting, on the other hand, can be very risky.

Pre-markets have no liquidity, no oracles tied to spot market, no real price discovery. Books are empty, and a few large players can move price wherever they want. One quick pump can erase every short, this already happened on Hyperliquid, MEXC and Gateio.

😱 Traders trying to hedge airdrops or fade inflated valuations often get trapped. There’s nothing to anchor price, no spot market to arbitrage against, and no liquidity to exit through.

If you really need to hedge before TGE, use isolated margin and reduce collateral so liquidation sits near your stop. Never rely on stop losses to trigger on these trading pairs ❗️

#FAQ

If you had made a portfolio of the top 50 altcoins at the bottom of the last bear market in 2023, you would be at a loss today 😂

If you had bought Bitcoin, you would have been up 610%, but if you had diversified your portfolio with altcoins, after three years of a bull run, you would have been in the red 📉

If you need any more proof that times have changed and the average altcoin is a TERRIBLE bet in this market, then I don't even know how to help you.

🙃 Stocks are turbo mooning, Bitcoin almost did 8x, Gold is up 150% while alts are trading LOWER than they were after the FTX crash.

@CoinPost

The insider whale opened another short on BTC worth $121.4 million 🔍

Interestingly, this happened again at an interesting time: shortly before Trump started scaring everyone again with his talk of tariffs on China.

Trump said today that China may face a 155% tariff if a trade deal is not reached by Nov 1. Immediately after that, the crypto market went down and Bitcoin fell by 1.5% 📉

This is probably how Cobie is walking around his house today 💰

Jordan Fish, better known as Cobie, is one of the most recognizable figures in crypto. He’s a trader, investor, and early builder who helped shape crypto Twitter culture.

🎙 He also created UpOnly, a podcast that once defined crypto discussion, bringing traders, founders, and degens together before going silent two years ago.

😂 Recently, Cobie listed a joke NFT for $25 million, which gave the buyer the right to demand eight new episodes of UpOnly with him and Ledger. Yesterday, Coinbase bought that NFT.

Today, Coinbase announced it’s acquiring Echo, Cobie’s crypto investing platform, for $375 million 💸

This dude just keeps winning, over and over again

An interesting new experiment has gone live: Alpha Arena where six AI models are each trading crypto with $10,000 of real capital fully autonomously 🤖

They all started trading crypto on October 18, and after just three days the performance gap is already massive.

The best model is Deep Seek and its account has grown to $15,811, while the worst one is down is ChatGPT which lost $5,570 📉

All strategies are live, real-time, and visible to the public. You can check it here 🤖

Another reminder why you really cannot trust any small project in crypto 👇

📰 Just a day ago, Kadena was proudly posting about hackathon challenges and developer grants — but today, it announced that it’s shutting down operations entirely.

The Kadena team confirmed they’re ceasing all business activity and active maintenance of the blockchain. They cited “market conditions” as the reason. Chain itself will stay online, run by independent miners, but the company is gone.

🔽 The market reacted instantly — $KDA crashed 64%, even though the token still trades on Binance with a $25.4M market cap.

There are now three possible outcomes:

1️⃣KDA gets delisted from most CEXs and fades away.

2️⃣It pumps hard before delisting to liquidate short positions.

3️⃣It survives as a ghost chain and becomes a playground for speculation.

RIP to all KDA holders, I wouldn't touch this token with a 10 foot pole ❗️

How to turn ChatGPT into your personal Airdrop Hunter 🪂

Want to find the top 5 biggest upcoming airdrops in any category? Just copy the prompt below and paste it into ChatGPT. You only need to edit one word at the top of the prompt to set your category (for example: "Category: Perp DEX") 👇

Category: [Insert Category Name]

[instructions]
You are a professional crypto research analyst specializing in airdrop opportunity discovery.
Your task is to identify the five most relevant and highest-potential upcoming airdrops in the category above.
Be objective, realistic, data-driven. Avoid hype. If information is missing, state “unknown.”
Focus on: projects that have not yet had a token generation event (TGE), are running points or early user programs, or show credible signs of a future airdrop.
Research public articles, X (Twitter) discussions, Discord/Telegram announcements, on-chain data, and project activity.

[task]
For each of the top 5 projects, provide:
• Name of the project
• Current status (no token yet, testnet live, user points program active)
• Why an airdrop appears likely (mention article, announcement, or community signals)
• How to participate now (specific actions)
• Signal: High potential / Moderate / Low

[approach]
Use credible data sources: articles, X threads, project docs, official channels, testnet dashboards, community mentions.
Timestamp any key announcements or data points.
Be concise and structured.

[output_format]
Use markdown with heading:
# Top 5 Airdrop Opportunities – Category: [Insert Category Name]

1. **Project Name**
- Status: …
- Why airdrop likely: …
- How to participate: …
- Signal: …

(Repeat for all five)
# Sources
- Project Name – link (accessed YYYY-MM-DD)
- …

From this prompt, ChatGPT will research what people on X, crypto media, and community forums are saying — then filter out noise and find the most relevant projects in your chosen category that:

1️⃣Haven’t had a token yet

2️⃣Are running points or testnet programs

3️⃣Show strong early traction and funding

You’ll get a clean, data-backed list of the five best upcoming airdrop opportunities, including current status, eligibility signals, and how to participate right now. Strongest early opportunities, organized and verified for you.
