In the past 10 hours, a total of 121.96 billion SHIB tokens were moved out of a Coinbase hot wallet. Valued at approximately $1.93 million at the time of transfer, this sum landed in a new, unidentified address with no other notable transaction history. The wallet that received the funds, which now holds just over $1.81 million in Shiba Inu (SHIB), has not made any other moves so far. At this point, it is unclear whether this is a long-term holding address, part of an OTC arrangement, or a staging point for something else. What stands out, however, is the…

With DeFi’s rapid shifts in market sentiment and volatility, protocols are constantly seeking ways to demonstrate real value accrual to incentivise meaningful participation and build community trust. Token buybacks have emerged as a viable yet polarising strategy: Similar to traditional finance’s stock buybacks, they involve the repurchasing of tokens from the open market, which in turn reduces supply and potentially drives the token value higher. Critics argue that such moves can artificially inflate prices or divert resources…

As Bitcoin trades in the $105,000 range, its price action is being closely watched, and liquidation heatmaps show some intriguing undercurrents. The 26 EMA, which has recently served as a crucial support zone, is where Bitcoin has stalled on the daily chart after a significant rally from its lows. A decline in trading volume indicates market hesitancy. The Binance BTC/USDT liquidation heatmaps, however, tell the true tale. Thick liquidity clusters situated slightly above $110,000 and approximately $104,000 are highlighted on these maps. These are essentially traps for high-leverage traders, where a price spike will force out positions (liquidations), prompting a…
Aave DAO has officially voted with unanimous approval to enter phase 3 of its activation of Chainlink SVR. This next step will bring SVR oracle feeds to a broader range of Ethereum-based assets, including wstETH, cbETH, rsETH, osETH, ETHx, and rETH. Smart Value Recapture (SVR) is a next-generation oracle feed developed by Chainlink, and it’s changing how DeFi protocols handle value. Unlike traditional oracle systems that simply deliver price data, SVR is specifically designed to capture and redistribute Oracle-Extractable Value (OEV), that’s the hidden value often scooped up by block builders when critical events, like liquidations, are triggered by price…
