Whale ARC Keeps On Buying Even When Floating Losses Exceed $1 Million
A significant investor in the ARC token is showing no signs of slowing down despite facing substantial unrealized losses. Over the past nine hours, the second-largest holder of ARC has kept on accumulating, adding another $1.495 million worth of tokens to their position. This most recent purchase brings their total holdings to 17.2 million ARC, which means they are still confidently holding the asset even though its price is well below their average entry cost. Whale Accumulation Continues Despite Losses The first accumulation of ARC by the investor happened on December 26, 2024. Since then, they have strategically purchased the token in three separate batches. Their average acquisition price is $0.3153 per token. However, ARC is currently trading at $0.2417, which means that they have a sizable unrealized loss of 23.3% on their holdings. In total, though, their floating loss […]
DeFi Liquidations Surge as Bitcoin Plummets Below $92K Before Bouncing Back
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.

Trump-Backed World Liberty Financial Faces Heavy Losses Amid Market Turmoil
The latest tariff announcement from ex-President Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market and across various financial platforms.

AI Agent Narrative Drives Explosive Gains, Upbit Listing Fuels $VIRTUAL Price Surge

Solana's supremacy in the stablecoin sector keeps growing faster than ever. In only the last three hours, Circle, the issuer of USD Coin (USDC), has minted another $250 million USDC on the Solana blockchain, reinforcing its place as a leading hub for stablecoin transactions. Since the beginning of 2025, Circle has minted an incredible $5.75 billion USDC on Solana, which is a clear and huge change in the landscape of stablecoins. This liquidity came in not just because people are now using the Solana network but also because the network has been quite active, especially after the recent launch of Donald Trump’s memecoins, $TRUMP and #MELANIA. https://twitter.com/spotonchain/status/1885224987726159975?t=rUInjmq5BI7-hTcZAs8VRA&s=19 Solana Overtakes Binance Chain in Stablecoin Rankings The swift growth of stablecoins on Solana has shot the blockchain to number three in the stablecoin ecosystem, besting Binance Chain.

Solana’s DEX Dominance Surges as Memecoin Frenzy Drives Unprecedented Growth
Solana has taken the DEX market by storm, nearly commandeering half of the sector's total volume. This rocket rise has been largely fueled by the tremendous success of Pump.fun, one of the most recent memecoin launchpads. The trading volume of Pump.fun has recently surpassed that of Ethereum, making it one of the most influential forces in the decentralized trading space today. According to data from OKX, Pump.fun is now reshaping the volume landscape of decentralized trading and influencing the development of trading apparatuses built atop the Solana blockchain. https://twitter.com/Cointelegraph/status/1884832664324333699?t=3wWvaHFmCmnnAgsoP15Nnw&s=19 Pump.fun’s Unstoppable Momentum and Its Most Prolific Creator Pump.fun has seen a growth that can only be described as meteoric.

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 […]
Whale Misses $1.2M Profit Opportunity as $JUP Rally Faces Disruption
The $JUP (Jupiter) cryptocurrency has displayed the classic business traits of a bull run: a big increase in price; a spike in trading volume; and promotion on social media that attracts new investors. By all appearances, this seems to be the case in the current market. The Jupiter Protocol, a blockchain project built on the Ethereum and Polygon networks, is seeing its native asset ramp up in price. The recent $JUP surge has turned a few heads and has led some folks—including an unidentified whale wallet—into making sizeable profits. But the developments of the past weekend beg the question: what exactly is going on with Jupiter? Whale Accumulation and the Missed Opportunity Between the dates of January 17 and January 24, the particular whale in question amassed a remarkable 13.3 million $JUP tokens, disbursing around $11.37 million at an average […]
Jupiter Protocol Allocates $50 Million for JUP Token Buyback to Drive Long-Term Growth
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. Given the protocol's substantial revenue growth forecast for 2024, this buyback plan signals a near- and long-term commitment to improving the token's market dynamics and its standing in the Solana ecosystem. Exceptional Revenue Growth in 2024 Over the last year, Jupiter Protocol has grown tremendously, racking up $102 million in total revenue for 2024. That achievement has given it the 7th place spot among decentralized applications (DApps) on the Solana blockchain when it comes to income. Most of that revenue comes from Jupiter Perps, the protocol's perpetual futures platform, which boasts an impressive 84% market share among perpetual decentralized exchanges (PerpDEX) on Solana. One of the most striking aspects of 2024 […]
