At 16:00 UTC on Oct. 19, that short used cross margin with leverage set to 25x. Hyperliquid estimated its liquidation price at about $2,434.67, while the venue’s $ETH mid-price immediately after the account check was about $2,393.05. The trigger depends on mark price, which incorporates external exchange prices and Hyperliquid’s order book. Funding payments and cross-margin account conditions can change the displayed liquidation estimate.

South Korean data centre company Elice’s (0158S0) stock market debut added to nervousness surrounding artificial intelligence investments on Tuesday, as investors further questioned whether spending on infrastructure will deliver sufficient returns. The Seoul-based neocloud provider closed at 60,500 won ($45.57), down over 30% from its 90,500 won offer price. The IPO raised $151 million at a valuation of roughly $755 million, according to Bloomberg. The slump followed a retail offering oversubscribed more than 400 times. The weak debut accompanied another sell-off in South Korean equities. The KOSPI dropped almost 4% to finish at 5,552, with Samsung Electronics falling around 3%…

“Agreed […] Charles keeps pushing [tech] ideas that feel a few light-years ahead,” Grok stated. Cardano Founder Introduces Quinelings Hoskinson introduced Quinelings through a cinematic demonstration that showed typed programs transforming into animated mathematical creatures inside a simulated environment he described as an “electronic ocean.” These digital creatures exhibit behaviors associated with living organisms, including swimming, feeding, growing, reproducing, and dying. However, they perform these actions by executing computer instructions rather than through biological processes. Quinelings builds on the concept of quines—computer programs capable of producing their own source code. Through the Quinelings software development kit (SDK), each creature’s body…

The second priority is the creation of legal mechanisms for the return of stolen assets. The NCA proposes to establish that reissuing a payment stablecoin to replace one that was stolen or mistakenly transferred, by court decision, is fully legal and falls under the “except as required by a lawful order” exception. The freezing procedure itself is proposed to be synchronized with FinCEN standards, obliging issuers to promptly notify affected users. The third set of rules draws a firm line between custodial services and software developers. Providers of non-custodial wallets and interfaces that merely display a balance and do not…

Data shows that a massive chunk of the volume came from the “without sports” label. This category saw $17.6 billion in weekly volume or roughly 82% of the total volume. NFL contracts brought in around $860 million or 4% of the total while Politics did $13.1 million, with the U.S. midterms two weeks away. Kalshi’s Non-Sports Volume Looks Mostly Like Sports Parlays Kalshi doesn’t place its combos under sports and its own API documentation puts them in a separate “Exotics” category altogether. Artemis does not indicate how it defines the “without sports” bucket, so that chart alone can’t confirm what…

The proposed BEP-702 standard remains labeled Draft and covers the new CAS20 token family, while existing BEP-20 tokens would remain unaffected. Its architecture separates three questions: whether the network admits a feature, who can exercise a token’s powers, and which holders those powers may affect. CAS20 would put common token behavior into native chain logic, implemented as stateful precompiles. The same design gives network governance a role in making the infrastructure available, alongside the issuer’s control over the asset itself. Governance would control the opening Under BEP-702, chain governance appoints the activation administrator through GovHub, BSC’s governance forwarding contract. The…

Access Bitcoin via IBIT! The new ETF, planned to trade under the ticker symbol PBIT, will use BlackRock’s existing spot Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), as its underlying asset. However, instead of directly holding Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETFs, the fund will combine IBIT-linked option contracts with cash and short-term fixed-income instruments. The strategy outlined in BlackRock’s filing aims to participate in Bitcoin price increases up to a certain point while mitigating the impact of declines. At this point, it is planned to impose limits on returns in exchange for protection against declines. In the fund’s strategy, purchased call options…

Bitcoin $BTC$81,466.90 dropped about 1.1% over the last 24 hours, ether ETH$2,383.53 fell 1.7% and the broader CoinDesk 20 (CD20) Index lost roughly 1.6%, pulled lower by declines in Asian stocks and the rising price of oil. Further weakness in equities could damp demand, analysts at QCP Capital wrote in a note published Monday. That may be on the cards. Both Nasdaq 100 futures and S&P 500 futures are lower, with companies including Coinbase Global COIN and Galaxy Digital GLXY falling in pre-market trading. “Broader equity deleveraging dynamics could transmit to cryptocurrency markets and potentially threaten the $80,000 support level…
