As over \$5 billion in crypto positions were liquidated in early February 2026, three altcoins—Solana (SOL), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Tron (TRX)—face uniquely precarious positions that signal a broader market inflection point. This is not merely about price volatility but a critical stress test of on-chain leverage, retail resilience, and narrative strength in a fragmented ecosystem. The convergence of extreme liquidation clusters, opposing fundamental catalysts, and eroding retail buying

Author: zhou, ChainCatcher In the past month, spot ETFs for a series of emerging crypto projects such as DOGE, XRP, Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), and Chainlink (LINK) have been approved and launched one after another. Contrary to general market expectations, the prices of these assets did not soar due to the listing of the ETFs. The phenomenon of continuous capital inflows but significant price corrections has sparked reflection: Can the approval of ETFs still provide long-term effective support for crypto prices? 1.

On October 11, 2025, a brutal global sell-off—sparked by Trump's 100% tariff threat on Chinese imports—tanked U.S. stocks (Nasdaq -3.56%, S&P -2.71%) and crypto markets, with Bitcoin dropping 16% from $122,000 to $101,500, Ethereum falling 18% to $3,900, and $19.1 billion in positions liquidated across 1.52 million traders.

Foreword Since China first ventured into the cryptocurrency space more than a decade ago, the cryptocurrency landscape in China has undergone significant changes. From the early dominance of Bitcoin mining to the severe crackdown by regulators in 2021, which ultimately led to an almost complete ban on cryptocurrency trading and mining, mainland China's stance on cryptocurrency has spanned the entire spectrum: from embracing the industry to a complete purge. In 2021, the People's Republic of China (PRC) prohibited cryptocurrency trading and mining on the mainland. Meanwhile, as a Special Administrative Region with an independent legal system, Hong Kong established a regulated framework for digital assets through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Some analysts believe that Hong Kong's development may provide a reference for future policies on the mainland of China. As of 2025, under mainland China's laws, the government continues to prohibit cryptocurrency trading and mining.

If you have been following the latest news about "1984", you would know that Vietnam has permanently closed over 86 million bank accounts. For a country with about 200 million bank accounts, this means that approximately 43% of accounts have been frozen or deleted to "prevent fraud and cybercrime". This account closure is implemented in accordance with a comprehensive new regulation requiring users to undergo biometric verification, and it has provided one of the best free publicity campaigns for Bitcoin to date.

"All business must cease before June 30, or face criminal penalties." This statement released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on May 30 sent shockwaves through the Asian Web3 community. Singapore, once hailed as a "crypto safe haven", is now demanding the full withdrawal of all unlicensed digital token service providers (DTSPs) with a zero-transition period. Sofas at home, hot desks, temporary booths – these are all included in the broad definition of "place of business" by MAS. As long as a person engages in digital token-related business in Singapore, the service target must be licensed and compliant, regardless of whether it is at home or abroad, otherwise it will constitute a crime. This article references the frontline observations of several local licensed institutions (including MetaComp, etc.) during the implementation of policies, combining regulatory texts and market feedback to attempt a rational restoration of the policy logic behind this large-scale cleanup.

Once upon a time, Singapore, with its open and prudent financial policy, was praised by global Web3 entrepreneurs as a "crypto haven" in Asia and even the world. However, a sudden regulatory storm is completely rewriting this situation. On May 30, 2025, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) officially released new regulations for digital token service providers (DTSPs), requiring all cryptocurrency companies operating in Singapore without obtaining a compliance license to fully stop operations or withdraw by June 30, otherwise they will face criminal penalties. This almost immediate and hardline measure is seen by the industry as a comprehensive expulsion of potential "scalpers" (referring to projects that exploit regulatory gray areas for fraud or speculation). When Singapore resolutely closes its doors, a question arises: where will those expelled crypto assets and talents go? The answer seems clear.

Special thanks to Justin Drake, Tim Beiko, Matt Garnett, Piper Merriam, Marius van der Wijden, and Tomasz Stanczak for their feedback and review. One of the challenges that Ethereum faces is that the inflation and complexity of any blockchain protocol will increase over time by default. This happens in two places: · Historical Data: Any transaction conducted at any moment in history and any account created will need to be permanently stored by all clients and downloaded by any new client in order to achieve complete synchronization with the network. This results in an increasing client load and synchronization time over time, even if the capacity of the chain remains unchanged. ·
