๐ A Look Back at Crypto Market History
For perspective:
1๏ธโฃ March 2020 COVID crash wiped out roughly $1.2 billion.
2๏ธโฃ FTX collapse saw around $1.6 billion liquidated.
3๏ธโฃ This weekโs sell-off shattered previous records, with over $19.3 billion wiped out in mere hours, making it one of the most violent and rapid market resets in crypto history.
โ ๏ธ What Triggered the Meltdown
Hours before the crash, Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports, effective Nov 1, 2025, alongside tighter controls on China-related software exports.
Markets panicked: global equities fell, gold surged, and crypto leverage positions were forcefully closed, amplifying the sell-off.
๐ Global Market Shock
โก๏ธ Bitcoin took a brutal hit โ sliding from $125,000 down to $111,000. Thatโs a drop of nearly $14,000, an 11.2% intraday loss, marking one of the steepest single-day moves in recent months.
โก๏ธ Altcoins fell 25%โ40%, including Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and BNB, as panic selling swept leveraged and spot markets alike.
โก๏ธ USDT dominance surged as traders fled to safety, moving funds out of volatile altcoins and parking them in stablecoins to avoid further losses.
โก๏ธ Exchanges like Binance and Coinglass reported record liquidations and system overloads, highlighting the strain of high-volume forced liquidations.
โ๏ธ Key Takeaways: The Real Winner of the Trade War
In this clash, gold emerges as the silent winner โ steady, reliable, and globally coveted. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and crypto remain volatile, swinging wildly even on a single statement from Washington.
โข Gold Stands Steady:
In this clash, gold emerges as the silent winner โ steady, reliable, and globally coveted.
โข Crypto Remains Volatile:
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies swing wildly, reacting to every tweet, tariff, or Washington statement.
โข Power Meets Irony:
China is hoarding gold, the U.S. holds BTC, and traders watch the fallout โ paper power meets digital gold, and the true safe-haven quietly shines while the market shakes
๐ Market Snapshot
The $19B de-leveraging acted as a market reset, flushing out excessive leverage and overextended positions. If BTC holds $107Kโ$110K, whales may begin re-accumulating, laying the foundation for a potential new upward leg in crypto prices.
โVolatility wipes the slate clean, preparing the ground for the next rally.โ
