人间留半拍

The broader market was quiet today. Bitcoin hovered around $80,000. KuCoin’s early-morning daily report put it at around $80,129, down less than 1%. Support sat around $79,400–$79,600, with resistance around $80,500–$80,800. The Fed will announce its decision on October 28, and the market is still betting it will hold steady, with the probability just above 90%. The Fear & Greed Index was 48.
U.S. stocks heated up first. Anthropic, the company behind Claude, filed IPO registration documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26. Documents cited by Reuters showed revenue of $16.29 billion in the first half of the year, compared with just $1.16 billion in the same period last year, and a net loss of $80.7 billion for the same period. The widening loss was mainly related to changes in the book value of convertible notes. The Nasdaq rose 0.83% to 26,169 that day, and the S&P 500 gained 0.70% to 7,676. Among chip stocks, ARM rose 6.19%, Intel 4.04%, AMD 2.80%, Lumentum 8.19%, and Micron 2.98%.

Today’s wildest on-chain news comes from someone who made headlines last year.
According to on-chain analyst Ember, the address that stole around $40 million in assets from UXLINK last year is back. This time, it’s not stealing—it’s going long on $ETH on Hyperliquid. In early August, it pulled together 11.54 million USDC from multiple sources and started trading. It has opened six positions since then, five of them profitable, and has made a total of $5.71 million so far.
It still has a big position open: a 30,300 ETH long with an average entry price of $2,134, worth about $70.25 million, and currently sitting on an unrealized profit of $5.62 million. ETH is now trading just above $2,300, so against the average entry price of $2,134, that profit adds up.

$Q has been on a tear over the past 24 hours, climbing from just over 5 cents to more than 13 cents. BitScreener and JustScreener both show gains of around 80% over 24 hours, while OKX’s figures from early this morning show a gain of over 50%. The numbers vary across platforms, but they all point in the same direction: up.
At the same time, the broader market is still stuck in the same rut. Bitcoin is hovering around $80,000, down less than 1% on the day, after dipping below $79,400. The Fed meeting kicks off today, and the market is waiting for guidance. Big money hasn’t moved.
One more detail: Q isn’t just moving in price this time. JustScreener puts its 24-hour trading volume at around $750 million, with Binance alone accounting for about $500 million, and its market cap at roughly $500–600 million. The money is actually flowing in—it’s not just a lonely number on a leaderboard.

At 7:27 p.m. ET on Sunday, a $7 million ETH long position on Binance was forcibly liquidated. It was the largest single liquidation in TokenPost’s 24-hour report. By the time the tally closed at 8:06 p.m. ET, total liquidations across the market had reached $90.9 million, across 35,031 positions.
Long positions bore the brunt of the losses. Of the $90.9 million liquidated, $61.7 million came from longs, or about 68%, while shorts accounted for just $29.2 million. Most traders had bet on the wrong direction.
By cryptocurrency, ETH took the hardest hit, with $32.8 million liquidated, including $23.9 million in long positions and $8.9 million in short positions. BTC ranked second, with $16.2 million liquidated: $11.5 million in longs and $4.7 million in shorts. By exchange, Binance alone accounted for $60.7 million, followed by OKX with $20.7 million and Bybit with $9.5 million. Together, they made up virtually the entire bill.

I checked the market first thing in the morning, and the sea of red was hard to miss. BTC was hovering around $79,000, down about 1.7% over 24 hours, while ETH was also down about 1%. On a day like that, I didn’t expect much when I opened the list of top gainers.
But near the top was $CAP , trading at around $0.11, up about 35% over 24 hours. CoinPaprika, Crypto.com, and BitScreener showed slightly different figures, ranging from 32% to 39%, but they agreed on the direction and scale. Its 24-hour trading volume was also in the tens of millions of dollars.
A string of names followed: DODO at around $0.025, up about 12%; OSMO at around $0.049, up about 9%; ENA at around $0.21, up about 6%; and QNT at around $190, up about 5%.

At 11:35 a.m. ET on Tuesday, funds left a CoinDCX wallet. Early Wednesday, FlashRescue co-founder Darcy posted a timeline: approximately 15.99 million USDT, along with 5,783 TRX, flowed out of a hot wallet and a deposit address. The largest transaction was worth more than 15.81 million USDT. According to his tracking, the funds were then split up and transferred to deposit addresses at Binance, OKX, and Gate.
Less than three hours later, CoinDCX CEO Sumit Gupta replied that the wallet hadn’t been hacked and that it sounded like a false alarm. Four minutes later, the company’s official account followed up, saying the addresses hadn’t been used since the July 2025 incident and that the claims were misleading.

At around 11 p.m. last night, ETH slid all the way to $2,282. One address had an ETH long with a liquidation price of $2,256—leaving just $26 of breathing room. At the rate prices were falling, that gap could have vanished in the blink of an eye.
But the position survived. In the early hours, the trader added $9.21 million in USDC collateral, pushing the liquidation price down from $2,256 to $2,181—a $75 drop. For now, they’ve managed to catch their breath.
Just how much is this address holding? According to on-chain analyst Ember, its BTC and ETH long positions total about $397 million: 115,473 ETH, worth about $272 million, and 1,539.5 $BTC , worth about $124 million, with a liquidation price of $70,396. In other words, the ETH position came closest to liquidation, while the BTC position was still a long way off.

Looking at the market today, it seems like nothing’s moving—but a closer look shows a clear split. Of the 80 major coins, only 29 are up while 51 are down. Bitcoin is hovering around $80,000, going nowhere in particular. Yet not one of the names at the top of the gainers’ list is one you’d usually hear people talking about.
The standout is Monero, which climbed steadily from around $566 to about $615, making it the most notable gainer among the top 30. Interestingly, it was delisted from Binance’s spot market back in 2024. Even if the rally looks great, anyone hoping to buy some on a whim will have to go elsewhere first. That’s probably the mood of today’s leaderboard: the coins going up aren’t necessarily ones you can buy.

First, the most outrageous transaction. In X 100 Global’s treasury, 400,000 X tokens were transferred into a pool set up by the attacker. How much did the treasury get back? About $36, according to on-chain analysis cited by Bitcoin.com.
This wasn’t a treasury being hacked—it was voting power being bought and sold on the spot. X 100 Global is a project on Ethereum, and its treasury is governed by a system called the “Senate,” which has just 3 seats. On October 24, according to analysis by Exvul, the attacker first borrowed about $1.94 million through an Aave flash loan, bought X, registered helper contracts, and took control of 2 of the 3 seats in one fell swoop.
