Ethereum(ETH) price fluctuations will impact the liquidation volume of major exchanges. If it breaks above $3,169, short liquidations will reach $1.077 billion; if it falls below $2,872, long liquidations will reach $750 million. The market should pay attention to these two critical points, as an imbalance in liquidation intensity could trigger a chain reaction.

Introduction: Why is volatility a problem?
When you trade cryptocurrencies, the constant price volatility creates real problems. Bitcoin is worth $50,000 today, and tomorrow it could drop by half. For ordinary people and companies, this makes crypto impractical for everyday life.
This is where on d

Introduction: Why Size Matters in Crypto
When an investor chooses which project to invest in, they often look at the token price. But this is a mistake. The true indicator of the scale and seriousness of a cryptocurrency is market capitalization — a metric that tells about the total value of the network at the current moment.

Why encryption types matter to cryptocurrency wallet users
Anyone who works with cryptocurrencies encounters the terms "public key" and "private key", but few understand how exactly they protect assets. In fact, there is one of two main systems behind this: symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

The essay discusses the critical importance of information security in the digital age, highlighting cryptography as the key solution. It explains how cryptographic methods enable secure transactions, particularly in decentralized systems like blockchain, revolutionizing the trust dynamics in digital currencies.

When comparing cryptocurrencies purely on price potential, many investors overlook what truly drives sustainable growth. While Dogecoin (DOGE) remains culturally significant, it currently trades at

The U.S. penitentiary system estimates that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried will be released in December 2044, following a sentence reduction based on time served and good behavior. He was convicted of fraud and conspiracy, receiving one of the harshest cryptocurrency sentences, while his associate Carolyn Ellis is set for an earlier release in 2026.

The crypto market is constantly evolving, and for beginners, this means both new opportunities and serious challenges.

Derivatives are contracts based on the price movement of an asset without owning it. Common types include futures, options, and swaps. They offer high profit potential due to crypto volatility but are risky, especially for beginners.

Investors have just received an expensive lesson in carry trade. The yen, which some are betting on strengthening, has fallen to a 9-month low, and speculators are massively closing positions.

Chinese authorities accused the US government of stealing 127,000 BTC (approximately $13 billion) from the LuBian Mining Pool wallet in 2020, but Western on-chain evidence teams presented a different story.
Case Review: Parts with Strong Evidence
Conclusive facts:
- On December 28-29, 2020, 127,000 BTC were transferred from LuBian associated addresses within a few hours.
- The transfer characteristics are extremely regular: a fixed fee of 75000 satoshis, consistent batch address mode.
- Vulnerability Source: The wallet software uses the MT19937 pseudo-random number generator, initializing only 32 bits of entropy, resulting in a seed space of only 4.29 billion, which can be brute-forced.
- It only takes a few hours for the entire network GPU cluster to crack this space.
Subsequent trajectory:
- 2021-2022: Relevant addresses published OP_RETURN information for recovery
- 2024: These sinks
