The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector witnessed a wave of massive liquidations early Monday as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dipped below $92,000, triggering widespread sell-offs across major lending protocols. The downturn, which saw billions in value wiped from the crypto market, led to an all-time high in liquidations for platforms like Aave and Compound, exacerbating volatility before Bitcoin staged a dramatic rebound past $102,000. https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1886667595891273746?t=wAXM-0a20cCLzOiUzwsDHA&s=19v Record DeFi Liquidations Amid Bitcoin’s Drop According to data from Parsec, total lending liquidations across the DeFi ecosystem in the past 24 hours exceeded $310 million—marking the highest level since early August last year.

Crypto Whale Ansem Makes a Bold Return to $WIF with $1.2M Buy-in

In a bold move, renowned cryptocurrency investor Ansem has returned to $WIF after three months away. Just hours ago, he made a significant bet on the popular dog-themed memecoin, plunking down a hefty $1.2 million to buy a whole bunch of $WIF tokens. In fact, he picked up 915,000 tokens at an average price of $1.31 per token. https://twitter.com/EyeOnChain/status/1884463290807652549?t=OS4kXvHZ9JvMt-MijP_spg&s=19 This most recent investment has rapidly positioned $WIF as Ansem's second-largest holding, bolstering his confidence in the token's prospects. Yet, like any daring play in the high-stakes world of crypto, his decision has come with immediate risks. His investment is currently "underwater" to the tune of about $55,000, with $WIF having slid down to around $1.25. But in the mercurial markets of today, any token can turn around tomorrow—if not today—so what does the appearance of risk really mean for this […]

Aiming to foster long-term value for its native token, $JUP, Jupiter Protocol has made a strategic announcement: 50% of the protocol's fee income will go toward repurchasing $JUP tokens.
