warning

According to a report by Cointelegraph, a study by data provider Amberdata found that WLFI exhibited significant warning signs during a massive market liquidation on October 10, 2025. More than five hours before approximately $6.93 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated across the network, WLFI began to decline sharply, while the price of Bitcoin remained around $121,000, showing no obvious signs of pressure.The study suggests that due to many trading platforms supporting WLFI as collateral, the token's extreme volatility led to a decrease in collateral value, forcing traders to liquidate BTC and ETH to cover their positions, triggering a chain reaction across the entire market. Mike Marshall from Amberdata stated that this five-hour lead time is hard to consider a coincidence, as WLFI's high leverage characteristics make it more sensitive to market pressures.

Several European tokenization and market infrastructure companies have jointly written to EU lawmakers, urging for a prompt revision of the EU's DLT Pilot Regime. Securitize, 21X, Boerse Stuttgart Group, and others pointed out that the current asset scope, issuance size limits, and six-year license restrictions have hindered the expansion of regulated on-chain markets.Relevant institutions believe that if adjustments are delayed, global liquidity may permanently shift in favor of the U.S. due to advancements in tokenized securities and near-real-time settlement. The proposal is not about relaxing regulations, but rather about technically "quickly revising" to expand the scope of eligible assets, raise limits, and remove time restrictions to maintain the competitiveness of European capital markets.

CryptoQuant analyst @AxelAdlerJr stated that the net realized profit and loss of Bitcoin has recently dropped by 97%, returning to near zero. The last time this occurred was in June 2022, after which Bitcoin fell from $30,000 to $16,000.@AxelAdlerJr pointed out that at the current price level, whales are still profitable (with a buffer of 25%-80%), so there is no panic yet. However, it is not buyers that are supporting the market, but rather the absence of sellers.

The founder of Spring Capital, Hu Zuliu, shared the stage with Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026. In response to Hu Zuliu's concerns about the systemic risks that generative AI may provoke, CZ stated that the root of financial risk does not lie in technology, but in the underlying flaws of the traditional banking system. If the financial system itself is healthy, more efficient and cheaper technologies will always bring more benefits than drawbacks.CZ also pointed out that the real risk lies in the traditional banking "Fractional Reserve System." Under this system, when banks face liquidity pressure, the technical convenience of withdrawals will only reveal the truth of their insufficient funds, and "slowing down withdrawals" does not address the fundamental issue.

The Hong Kong securities industry group has expressed objections to the city's proposed regulatory framework for digital asset management, warning that the related reforms could hinder traditional asset management institutions from venturing into the cryptocurrency space.In a submission to regulators on Tuesday, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association opposed a proposed regulatory adjustment that would eliminate the existing "minimum exemption threshold" for Type 9 asset managers. According to a report by local law firm JunHe, under the current framework, institutions holding a Type 9 license (which covers discretionary portfolio and asset management services) are only required to notify regulators without applying for additional license upgrades if they allocate less than 10% of their total fund assets to crypto assets.The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association pointed out that the proposed reform would remove this threshold, meaning that even a 1% exposure to Bitcoin would require obtaining a full virtual asset management license. The industry group stated that this "all or nothing" regulatory approach lacks proportionality and believes that it will still incur significant compliance costs even with limited risk exposure, potentially deterring traditional management institutions from attempting to engage with the crypto asset category.This industry backlash targets a regulatory framework that has already entered the fast lane. In December last year, Hong Kong authorities released a consultation summary report on related reform proposals following a public consultation that began in June. The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Securities and Futures Commission have initiated further consultations on introducing a supplementary licensing system for crypto asset trading, advisory, and management services.

There are still some unresolved issues regarding the reasons for FLOW being listed as a trading warning subject and investor protection.The Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA) believes that further explanation and a more comprehensive review are necessary, thus extending the period for this stock as a trading warning subject. The trading warning period has been extended to February 13, 2026, at 22:59.

According to Decrypt, Galaxy Research has issued a warning that the draft of the "Crypto Market Structure Act" (Clarity Act) currently under review by the Senate Banking Committee will significantly expand the financial surveillance powers of the U.S. Treasury. The draft includes provisions to freeze transactions without a court order, as well as expanded "special measures" authority targeting the front end of decentralized finance.Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, stated that if these measures become law, it would "represent the largest single expansion of financial surveillance powers since the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001."

Fitch Ratings, an international credit rating agency, released an assessment report on Monday, categorizing Bitcoin-backed securities as "speculative grade" credit ratings, warning of their "high risk" that could lead to losses for lenders and investors.The report pointed out that the extreme volatility of Bitcoin prices is a major risk factor. When the collateral coverage ratio falls below the stipulated threshold, it can quickly erode the value of the collateral and trigger margin calls and forced liquidations.Fitch cited the collapses of crypto lending platforms such as BlockFi and Celsius in 2022-2023, emphasizing the vulnerability of collateral models under market pressure. This assessment primarily targets credit instruments that directly rely on the value of collateral for repayment, excluding equity products like spot Bitcoin ETFs.

CryptoQuant reported that data shows the 14-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Ethereum Coinbase premium has dropped to -2.285, marking the lowest level since early February 2025.The agency stated that this sign of on-chain weakness indicates a weakening demand from U.S. institutional investors, and traders should remain cautious, as the continuation of this negative trend increases the risk of further corrections in Ethereum.

According to the announcement from the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of South Korea, in response to the cryptocurrency exchange Korbit's violation of anti-money laundering (AML) obligations under the Specific Financial Information Act, the FIU has decided to impose an "institutional warning" and a fine of 2.73 billion KRW (approximately 1.88 million USD) on it. Additionally, the FIU has issued a "notice" sanction to its representative office and a "condemnation" sanction to the head of anti-money laundering reporting.The sanctions involve three major violations identified by the FIU during an on-site inspection of Korbit from October 16 to October 29, 2024: Korbit had approximately 22,000 cases of customer due diligence (CDD) and transaction restriction violations, including accepting ambiguous identification documents, allowing transactions with incomplete customer information, and failing to fulfill customer re-confirmation obligations periodically; conducted 19 asset transfer transactions with three undeclared overseas virtual asset service providers; and failed to perform the required money laundering risk assessment obligations before launching 655 new assets, including NFTs.

According to GMGN monitoring, the price of the Meme coin HNUT on the Solana chain has experienced significant fluctuations today, with a 24-hour increase of 703%, currently reported at $0.055, and its market capitalization has surged to approximately $55.03 million, ranking it 11th by market cap and 3rd on the 24-hour trading volume list.The trading volume of this token in the past 24 hours is about $5.5 million, with the number of holding addresses exceeding 10,000. HNUT originated from humorous images and texts about "Holly The Squirrel" on social media. However, several on-chain monitoring platforms, including Crypto Scope, have pointed out that its liquidity activity and on-chain data patterns are abnormal, indicating a potential RUG risk, and reminding investors to remain vigilant.Meme coin trading is highly volatile, largely relying on market sentiment and conceptual speculation, lacking actual value or use cases, and investors should be aware of the risks.

According to Forbes, as Bitcoin retreats from its historical high in October, concerns about the dollar system are rising. Analysts warn that the dollar may face structural downside risks, while the continued rise of gold and silver before 2026 could open up new upward space for Bitcoin prices.Data shows that Bitcoin is currently hovering around $90,000, a significant drop from its previous high of about $126,000; during the same period, gold has risen about 20% this year, and silver has surged by as much as 64%. Ramnivas Mundada, head of economic research at GlobalData, stated that the rise of precious metals in 2025 marks a shift in the international monetary system from a "dollar-centric" model to a multipolar structure, with expectations that gold still has an 8% to 15% upside potential by 2026, and silver may rise another 20% to 35%. Analysts believe that this trend is not merely a safe-haven trade, but rather a strategic allocation by institutional investors amid geopolitical tensions, a slowing U.S. economy, trade frictions, and accelerating "de-dollarization."The market is also betting on further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2026, which would weaken the dollar's appeal. U.S. President Trump recently expressed hope that the new Federal Reserve chairman would actively cut rates when the market performs well, raising expectations for easing policies. Meanwhile, long-time dollar bear economist Peter Schiff bluntly stated, "Dollar hegemony is coming to an end," and claimed that gold will once again become a core reserve asset for central banks. Notably, while gold and silver have surged, Bitcoin's recent performance has lagged. Bitbank analyst Yu Nagatani also pointed out that against the backdrop of "overheating signs" in U.S. stocks and commodities, Bitcoin's current valuation appears low, which may attract valuation-based capital inflows in the future.
