Market Moving News

This week isn't about one headline—it's about three forces reshaping the game at once.

Leverage got wiped out, corporations are doubling down on Bitcoin, and governments are racing to put their currencies on-chain.

If you want to see where the next big move could come from, these are the sparks that can light it up.

Markets

Dogecoin, Solana, and Ethereum Plunge as $1.7B Gets Liquidated

Crypto markets took a heavy hit on Monday as nearly $1.7 billion in leveraged positions were wiped out in 24 hours.

Over 390,000 traders were caught in the crossfire, with longs making up the bulk of the losses.

Dogecoin led the declines among top coins, tumbling almost 10%. Solana dropped nearly 7%, and Ethereum lost over 6%, while Bitcoin fell a smaller 2.3%.

The total crypto market cap shrank by 3.7% to $3.98 trillion, according to CoinGecko. Liquidations were most severe on Ethereum, which saw $501 million in wiped positions.

Dogecoin saw $61 million in liquidations, highlighting just how overexposed traders were on meme-driven assets.

Coinglass data shows the largest single hit was a $12.7 million Bitcoin swap order on OKX.

Analysts say this wasn't a short squeeze—it was overleveraged bulls being flushed out. More than $1 billion in positions vanished within a single hour at the height of the carnage.

Kronos Research described the sell-off as a "classic liquidity spiral," where thinning liquidity widened spreads and triggered cascading liquidations.

Still, they suggested that market depth will slowly rebuild after this reset.

Take: These liquidations show how fragile rallies can be when too much leverage piles up.

For you, it's a reminder that strong markets don't crash on their own—overexposed traders do, and staying cautious with leverage can keep you from becoming the next casualty.

Institutional Adoption

Metaplanet Becomes Fifth-Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holder With $632M Buy

Japan's Metaplanet just leapfrogged into the top tier of corporate Bitcoin holders. The firm bought 5,419 BTC for $632 million, taking its total stash to 25,555 BTC.

That puts Metaplanet ahead of Bullish and into fifth place globally. The company's Bitcoin is now valued at $2.7 billion, with an average cost basis of about $106,000 per coin.

This single purchase added nearly 400% to its year-to-date Bitcoin yield. Still, the company's shares fell 3% on the news, highlighting investor unease.

Metaplanet's head of strategy, Dylan LeClair, said this was only the "first tranche" of its expansion. The firm recently raised $1.4 billion to continue buying more Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, Capital B acquired 551 BTC for $64 million, bringing its total to 2,800 BTC. Like Metaplanet, Capital B's stock price also dipped after the purchase.

Despite their growing reserves, both companies are underwater on this latest buy as Bitcoin slipped below $113,000.

Shares of Metaplanet and Capital B remain down 73% and 81% from all-time highs.

Take: These corporate buys show conviction, but they also reveal the risks of timing big purchases.

If you're holding, remember that even giants can go red short-term, but they're betting on Bitcoin's long game—and that long game is what may matter most.

Stablecoins

China Debuts First CNH Stablecoin as Global Race Heats Up

China just launched its first regulated CNH stablecoin for international markets. AnchorX unveiled the AxCNH token at the Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong.

The yuan-pegged stablecoin is designed for cross-border trade settlement, especially with Belt and Road countries.

It's fully backed 1:1 by fiat reserves and government debt instruments.

South Korea joined the race too, with BDACS releasing KRW1, a won-pegged stablecoin. Both tokens aim to give their home currencies more reach on global digital rails.

Stablecoins are becoming strategic tools as governments push to expand international demand for their fiat.

Placing them on blockchains allows instant global access without traditional banking infrastructure.

Analysts say these tokens also absorb excess fiat printing by locking reserves into government debt. That boosts bond demand and helps lower borrowing costs for states.

Tether already holds more US Treasury bills than countries like Canada and Germany. Now, governments themselves are racing to put their currencies into the same system.

Take: China's stablecoin move isn't just about payments—it's about currency power.

For you, it signals a future where stablecoins aren't just crypto tools but geopolitical weapons, so watching which ones gain traction could hint at the next wave of demand.

Crypto Know-How: What Is Tether (USDT)?

Tether (USDT) is the world's largest stablecoin, and it's designed to do one simple thing—stay worth one US dollar.

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, it doesn't swing wildly because each USDT is backed by real-world assets like cash and short-term government bonds.

That stability makes it incredibly useful for traders.

Instead of cashing out to a bank account every time they want to step out of the market, they can park value in USDT and move it instantly across exchanges or wallets.

USDT is also a lifeline in places where the local currency isn't trusted.

In countries battling inflation or dollar shortages, people use Tether to save, spend, and even run businesses without relying on shaky banking systems.

For you, that means USDT is less about chasing gains and more about staying flexible.

It's the glue that keeps the crypto economy liquid—and knowing how to use it smartly can be just as powerful as picking the right coin to invest in.

Every market cycle hides a few secret doors—most people never see them until they're already closed.
