The Oct. 10–11 sell-off that erased an estimated ~$19–20 billion across crypto within 24 hours has ignited a fierce post-mortem over whether market structure—or malice—turned a macro shock into cascading liquidations. Crypto Crash Not Random? On X, Uphold’s head of research Dr. Martin Hiesboeck alleged the crash “is suspected to be a targeted attack that exploited a flaw in Binance’s Unified Account margin system,” arguing that collateral posted in assets such as USDe, wBETH and BnSOL “had liquidation prices based on Binance’s own volatile spot market, not reliable external data,” which allowed a cascade once those instruments depegged on Binance order books. He added that the episode “was timed to exploit a window between Binance’s announcement of a fix and its implementation,” calling it “Luna 2.” The crypto market crash on October 11 is suspected to be a targeted attack that exploited a flaw in Binance’s Unified Account margin system. The issue stemmed from using assets like USDE, wBETH, and BnSOL as collateral, whose liquidation prices were based on Binance’s own… — Dr Martin Hiesboeck (@MHiesboeck) October 12, 2025 Binance has publicly acknowledged extraordinary price dislocations in exactly those instruments during the crash window and has committed to compensating affected users. In a series of notices published Oct. 12–13 (UTC), the exchange said that “all Futures, Margin, and Loan users who held USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH as collateral and were impacted by the depeg between 2025-10-10 21:36 and 22:16 (UTC) will be compensated, together with any liquidation fees incurred,” with the payout “calculated as the difference between the market price at 2025-10-11 00:00 (UTC) and their respective liquidation price.” Binance also outlined “risk control enhancements” after the incident. Related Reading: Crypto Crash: $19.5 Billion Wiped Out In Record-Breaking Liquidation Event The depegs were violent on Binance’s books: USDe printed as low as roughly $0.65, while wrapped staking tokens wBETH and BNSOL also plunged, briefly gutting the collateral value in Unified Accounts and triggering forced unwinds. Third-party market coverage and exchange community posts documented those prints and the immediate knock-on to margin balances during the 21:36–22:16 UTC window. Hiesboeck later framed the chain of events as leverage meeting brittle collateral mechanics rather than pure price discovery. In a follow-up explainer, he wrote: “The Trigger: It all started with external shock. A political post (Trump’s new tariff threat) hit the US stock market, and that fear spilled directly into crypto… The Amplifier: …too many people using massive leverage… Domino Effect: …panic selling hit related assets that were supposed to be stable (like USDe and wBETH), causing them to ‘depeg’… The Lesson (and Binance’s Role): Analysts say the true issue was not an attack, but bad design… [the] system dumped [collateral] immediately at any price.” He added that “Binance is now preparing a huge compensation plan.” Related Reading: 2%–4% In Crypto? Morgan Stanley Thinks That’s The Smart Move Now Macro shock is, in fact, a credible first domino. The Oct. 10–11 liquidation wave was triggered by new tariff threats from the US President Donald Trump against China, which sparked cross-asset risk-off and an aggressive deleveraging across crypto perps. Friday’s crash was the “largest ever” liquidation event with roughly $20 billion in liquidations in a single day, with more than $1.2 billion of trader capital erased on Hyperliquid alone. Where the debate turns technical is on the “exploit” claim. One camp points to a design gap in how Binance’s Unified Account treated certain collateral: rather than anchoring to robust external pricing, liquidation thresholds referenced internal spot pairs that became thin and disorderly precisely when they were most system-critical. That design, critics argue, created a reflexive loop in which depegging collateral forced liquidations that sold more of the same collateral back into the same unstable books. Binance, for its part, has said it will adjust pricing logic for wrapped assets and has begun compensating users who were liquidated or suffered verified losses during the specified window. Ethena’s team, whose synthetic dollar USDe was at the center of the move, contends the problem was localized to Binance’s pricing/oracle path rather than a fundamental break in USDe’s mechanism. At press time, the total crypto market cap recovered to $3.87 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Following the massive crash that Bitcoin and the entire crypto market suffered over the weekend, the Fear & Greed Index has been pushed down to its lowest level in the last six months. This index, which measures the market sentiment and shows on a scale how investors are feeling about the crypto market, has now fallen back into the Extreme Fear territory. The number on the scale now shows the lowest level it has been since the market crash back in April 2025. Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Sees Major Crash The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index uses a number of factors to determine how investors are feeling about the market. It takes into account things like volatility, social sentiment aggregated across different social media platforms, market volume and momentum, and market dominance to come to a figure. Related Reading: Crypto Crash: $19.5 Billion Wiped Out In Record-Breaking Liquidation Event The data is aggregated, which puts it on a scale of 1-100, with 1-25 being Extreme Fear, 26-46 being Fear, 47-54 being Neutral, 55-75 representing Greed, and 76-100 representing Extreme Greed. Each of these shows either bullishness, bearishness, or nonchalance in the market. The most recent data shows that the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index crashed to 24 on Sunday. This puts the index firmly in Extreme Fear territory, suggesting that investors are extremely cautious at this point. It also shows a reluctance to enter into any positions at this time. This is the result of the massive liquidation event that happened last Friday, with crypto traders losing over $19 billion in one day. Thus, it is no surprise that fear has gripped the market. However, this would also present a unique opportunity in the market. Buy When The Market Is Bleeding One of the oldest sayings in the financial world is to “buy when there is blood on the streets.” This represents times of extreme losses, where most investors are scared to put their money in the market. Thus, with the market teetering on Extreme Fear, it could be the time to buy. Related Reading: XRP’s 2017 Pattern Returns In 2025, Analyst Predicts Massive Rally The last time that the market declined into Extreme Fear this low was back in April 2025, and what followed was a rally that saw the Bitcoin price reach new all-time highs in May 2025. If this trend holds, then the market could be looking at a possible rapid increase. By Sunday, the market was already recovering, with the Bitcoin price crossing $114,000 and Ethereum making its way back above $4,000. It is still quite early to tell if the market is in a full recovery trend, but with prices already bouncing, it could signal the next wave of gains.

What to Know: GameFi reached 1M daily users in Q1 2025 and is expected to grow 5x through 2032 Tapzi leverages skill-based games, making it one of the top GameFi crypto projects to watch now. $TAPZI is currently available for just $0.0035 in presale, with a planned launch price of $0.01, indicating serious returns even before the TGE and exchange listings. Web3 gaming is now one of the fastest-growing crypto sectors. Boasting over 1M users globally in Q1, 2025, it’s predicted to grow in value from $25B in 2024 to nearly $125B by 2032. Blockchain provides GameFi players with true ownership of in-game assets and the opportunity to earn real cryptocurrency rewards through gameplay. It also enables transparent, secure transactions and decentralized governance, transforming users into stakeholders rather than just players. However, not many GameFi projects have fully leveraged these new blockchain capabilities, instead relying on chance mechanics rather than skill-based gameplay. Most fail to retain gamers in the long run, as they get distracted by speculative trading. But a gaming economy can’t survive without gamers, underscoring the importance of strong gameplay. That’s exactly why Tapzi could be the next crypto to explode. Early backers are stocking up on the project’s native crypto $TAPZI in its hot presale before the prices surge – and here’s why. Tapzi Brings Skill to Bear The project steps into the fertile GameFi niche with a razor-sharp plan. Unlike typical GameFi platforms built on chance, passive mechanics, or hype-driven tokens, Tapzi delivers a player-centric ecosystem where active participation and smart gameplay directly drive real earnings and token growth. Here, the focus is on creating a GameFi ecosystem that keep players coming back for more. The arcade will offer games like Chess, Checkers, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and Tic-Tac-Toe, where victory depends on skill more than luck. Players can stake $TAPZI tokens to compete and unlock rewards as they get better at the game. Projects that can sustain organic demand and expand their user base over time are the best bets in a maturing market. Why Tapzi Could Explode Next Tapzi’s gaming arcade is designed not just for Web3 gamers, but also for traditional gamers. To attract them, the project lowers both technical and financial entry barriers, particularly when it comes to setting up a crypto wallet and transferring tokenized assets. Tapzi offers a free, gasless practice mode open to all. Players can switch to the paid mode at any time. The paid mode runs on BNB Chain for cheap, fast gameplay. Top players earn attractive token rewards with real-world value. $TAPZI powers all rewards and transactions across the ecosystem. Visit the Tapzi website for a closer look at the gameplay. Another factor that strengthens Tapzi’s long-term outlook is its bid to expand skill-based gameplay in the GameFi market. The project will offer SDKs and exposure to like-minded developers, building a skill-based gaming hub. Next is the roadmap, which focuses on gradual, phased infrastructure development. The demo web beta will go live this quarter. Multiplayer engines with sample games, a staking preview, and matchmaking features will then follow. NFT avatars, cosmetic stores and rarity system, analytics dashboard, and multilingual support will be integrated in later phases. Global gaming tournaments will be held regularly to acquire users worldwide. Large-scale user acquisition campaigns are also coming, with 10% of the token supply allocated each for marketing and airdrops. But even tokens backed by utility-rich, promising projects aren’t immune to early-stage dumps. Tapzi has implemented a strong vesting schedule to prevent this: Only 25% of the presale tokens unlock at TGE, 75% vest over three months to cushion sudden supply shocks. In addition, team tokens are locked for six months and vested over 18 months. This ensures the team’s commitment to timely project development. How to Buy $TAPZI Early and Cheap Now is the right time to buy $TAPZI at early-bird prices. The token is available for purchase at fixed, discounted prices in its presale, which supports payments in cryptocurrencies and fiat cards. $TAPZI is currently available for just $0.0035, but the planned launch price is $0.01, leaving plenty of room for returns even before the TGE and exchange launches. But the post-launch rally could take the token even higher, with key development milestones scheduled for this quarter. As one of the top GameFi coins to enter the market, it wouldn’t be surprising to see $TAPZI climb the top crypto charts. But keep in mind: The price increases with each new stage, with the presale sell-out date approaching fast. Make the most of the GameFi mania – Get into the $TAPZI presale before the next price hike. As always, do your own research before investing in crypto. This is not financial advice.
