A Coinbase-linked wallet sent 140,033,123 Shiba Inu tokens to a burn address on October 15, removing those coins from circulation in a single on-chain move. According to records published by community burn tracker Shibburn, the wallet that carried out the transfer was newly created and had only that one visible SHIB transaction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Sheds 25% As $57M Flees Market — Can The Memecoin Recover? Etherscan data shows the address was funded by a wallet tied to Coinbase, and it currently holds 0.002 ETH, worth roughly $9. Largest Single Burn In Months The 140 million SHIB moved on Wednesday stands out as the largest one-off burn in nearly three months. Reports show the last big single send happened on July 28, when an anonymous actor destroyed 600 million SHIB. Since that July event, most individual burns stayed below 100 million until this Coinbase-linked transfer. ???????? 140,033,123 $SHIB -> transferred to dead wallet. https://t.co/EzSFusbkZa — Shibburn (@shibburn) October 15, 2025 Daily Burn Rate Jumps Based on reports from Shibburn, nine transactions that day totaled about 140 million SHIB destroyed, pushing the daily burn figure up by 222%. The tracker’s data also records a cumulative 410 trillion SHIB that have been sent to dead addresses over time. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s past transfers of around 410 trillion SHIB to a burn contract remain the largest single move toward deflation on record. Supply Still Vast Shiba Inu’s total supply remains enormous at roughly 589 trillion tokens. That scale means even large-sounding burns have only a tiny impact on the overall available supply. Market watchers point out that unless burn activity becomes sustained and much larger in scale, the supply math will not shift meaningfully. Wallet Details And Transparency Etherscan shows the burner address executed only that one outgoing SHIB transfer and nothing else. The funding trace to a Coinbase-associated wallet suggests a user on the exchange initiated the action, but the identity behind the address has not been disclosed. The post-burn balance for SHIB is zero, and the tiny ETH holding left behind makes the move appear deliberate and final. Price Action And Technical Levels Even after the large token send to the burn address, SHIB barely moved — it was trading around $0.00001049 when the burn happened, and it slipped only 0.15% over the prior 24 hours. The bigger picture hasn’t changed: roughly 589 trillion SHIB remain in circulation, so even headline-grabbing burns make only a tiny dent. This latest action is part of a string of deflation efforts, including Shibarium Layer-2 burns handled through Bone ShibaSwap, which together have removed billions of SHIB from circulation. Related Reading: Michael Saylor Issues Rally Cry To Bitcoin Army: “Starve The Bears!” Market Impact Remains Limited This event looks significant in headline terms but small when compared with the huge SHIB supply. The transfer adds to an ongoing narrative of community-led burns that keep holders engaged, yet it is unlikely to change the market trend on its own. Traders and observers will watch whether similar, larger burns follow, or if this remains a one-off action tied to a single Coinbase-funded address.

On October 10, the crypto market experienced its largest liquidation event in history, prompting experts like MartyParty to predict a surge in lawsuits and class action claims against what he describes as “market manipulators.” Expert Claims Manipulation Led To October 10 Crypto Crash The aftermath of this crash has seen Bitcoin (BTC) and other major cryptocurrencies continue their downward trend this week, with BTC recently falling below the critical $110,000 threshold. Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Binance Coin (BNB), the largest altcoins, recorded losses of 10%, 17%, and 7%, respectively, in the weekly time frame. The events of October 10 led to total crypto liquidations exceeding $20 billion, with an alarming 208,864 traders liquidated in just the past 24 hours, amounting to approximately $691.63 million in losses as a result of the ongoing correction. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Slips Below $108,000: Peter Schiff Anticipates ‘Brutal’ Bear Market, CZ Responds In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), MartyParty warned that the ramifications of this event would include lawsuits targeting the alleged manipulators behind the crash. He criticized the centralized exchange (CEX) systems, stating: The manipulators cleared all the longs to 1.8x illegally. This had nothing to do with crypto. This is centralized exchange and casino systems that are opaque and easily manipulated with no regulation. Despite the turmoil, MartyParty expressed some optimism, noting that the crypto liquidations have cleared out long positions, which he believes could pave the way for future price increases. He also added that those responsible for this alleged manipulation would face scrutiny, predicting that this incident could evolve into one of the most significant fraud cases in financial history. Binance’s Role Adding to the concerns, another expert, Crypto Emre, highlighted the ease with which crashes can be orchestrated on platforms like Binance. He explained that the tokens visible in a user’s wallet are essentially held in Binance’s wallets behind the scenes. Emre asserts that the exchange can open short positions on multiple trading pairs simultaneously using private trading bots, which can then quickly sell the tokens held by users. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Vs Binance: Founders Clash Over Liquidation Transparency After closing the short positions at a lower price, the expert alleges that the exchange replaces the sold tokens with their own at a significantly reduced cost. Emre argued that as long as Binance remains operational, the potential for such manipulation will hinder the emergence of a robust crypto bull market. As the dust settles from the October 10 crypto crash, it remains uncertain whether regulatory bodies or individuals will take action against these alleged practices in the near future, as predicted by MartyParty.

Bitcoin (BTC) is once again testing critical support above $111,000, with traders debating whether the recent pullback marks the start of a deeper correction or a healthy consolidation before the next leg higher. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin About To See A Repeat Of 2020-2021? What Happened After The Last Flash Crash After touching an all-time high above $126,000, the world’s largest crypto asset has shed nearly 9% on the weekly charts, reflecting waning momentum amid broader market uncertainty and renewed U.S.–China trade tensions. BTC's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview Bitcoin Tests Key Support as Momentum Fades Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $111,300, down roughly 1% in 24 hours, after briefly dipping to an intraday low of $110,292. Technical indicators show the asset under pressure, with the 20-day and 50-day moving averages turning lower and a bearish crossover emerging on the MACD. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to the mid-40s, signaling cooling buying strength and the potential for further downside if support fails. Analysts are eyeing $107,000–$110,000 as the crucial short-term demand zone. A decisive break below this area could open the path toward $100,000, while a bounce above $115,000–$123,000 would be needed to restore bullish sentiment. “Bitcoin’s structure suggests fatigue at the top, with a potential double-top formation visible around $126,000,” one market analyst noted. “A weekly close below $110K would likely trigger broader profit-taking.” Whales Turn Cautious, Bitcoin ETF Inflows Slow On-chain data indicates that BTC whales have increased short exposure, signaling caution among large holders. This aligns with reports of falling ETF inflows, which declined by over $223 million this week after surging more than $2.7 billion the week before. Analysts suggest this cooldown reflects a pause in institutional demand following months of aggressive accumulation. Meanwhile, traders are closely watching macro developments, as gold’s rally to a record $4,200 has drawn some capital away from Bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative. Weak U.S. data and tariff-related volatility have added pressure, pushing some investors back toward traditional safe havens. Analysts Warn of Rising Wedge Breakdown Technically, Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows a rising wedge pattern, often a bearish setup. If BTC closes the week below $110,000, the structure projects a potential downside target around $74,000, representing a 34% correction. However, long-term metrics such as hash rate and network activity remain strong, suggesting that any deep retracement could offer a buying opportunity for patient investors. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin About To See A Repeat Of 2020-2021? What Happened After The Last Flash Crash For now, Bitcoin’s next move hinges on whether bulls can defend the $110K floor. A strong rebound from here could set the stage for another attempt toward $126K, but failure to hold support risks ushering in a much sharper correction before the next major rally begins.

Ethereum price is now trading below $4,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,070 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $3,950 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,020 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,215 swing high to the $3,828 low. The first major resistance is near the $4,070 level and the trend line. A clear move above the $4,070 resistance might send the price toward the $4,120 resistance.

The first major support sits near the $3,820 zone. A clear move below the $3,820 support might push the price toward the $3,740 support.

Solana is taking a breather after a strong rally, now testing the crucial $195 support zone. Traders are watching closely to see if the bulls can defend this level and set the stage for a potential comeback. Solana Begins A Healthy Pullback After Recent Rally In a recent update, BitGuru highlighted that Solana (SOL) appears to be entering a healthy pullback phase following a sharp rally and partial recovery. This retracement is part of a natural market rhythm, allowing the asset to cool off after its recent burst of bullish momentum. Such pauses often serve as a foundation for more sustainable future growth, rather than signaling weakness. Related Reading: Historic Liquidation Event Highlights Solana Resilience Against Ethereum, Which Is Leading? While SOL’s price is hovering around the $203 mark, it is also facing strong resistance near $210. The market structure remains constructive, with buyers still active, though slightly cautious after the recent volatility. Should bulls manage to hold their ground and push through $210, BitGuru suggested that Solana could target the $225–$230 region in the short term. Conversely, if the price fails to clear resistance and loses support, a brief consolidation between $190 and $210 could follow. Short-Term Bearish Momentum Takes Hold Below Key Averages In a recent post, crypto analyst BeLaunch shared insights on Solana’s current price action, noting that the asset is showing signs of a short-term pullback following its strong rally. At the time of analysis, SOL’s price was trading around $199.45, marking a 1.84% gain, though still below its daily high of $208.91. The move reflects a mild cooling period after an upward surge. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Pushes Higher Again – Has It Finally Found Its Short-Term Bottom? From a technical perspective, the price of Solana has dipped below key moving averages, indicating a shift toward short-term bearish momentum. The asset is currently testing a key support zone near $195.53. However, BeLaunch observed that the recent decline came on lower trading volume, suggesting that selling pressure might be easing rather than intensifying. According to the analyst, Solana’s structure points to a phase of consolidation rather than a full reversal. The price action appears to be forming a base after its breakout run, giving the market room to breathe before its next move. BeLaunch concluded that a sustained hold above $195 could trigger a rebound, potentially setting the stage for Solana to retest higher resistance levels near $210 and beyond. Conversely, a breakdown below this level could lead to a deeper retracement. However, in the broader outlook, the current weakness may represent a healthy reset within a larger bullish structure rather than a bearish trend reversal.
