The crypto market ushered in the largest liquidation in history. In the early morning of October 11, many crypto investors who woke up from their dreams thought they had misjudged the market.
Coinglass data shows that as of 8:00 on the 11th, the 24-hour liquidation amount reached US$19.1 billion, and 1.62 million people worldwide were liquidated. The largest single liquidation order occurred in Hyperliquid – ETH-USDT, worth US$203 million.
The crypto market is in turmoil.

Behind these staggering margin calls, while Bitcoin and Ethereum have rebounded, dropping 7% and 11% in the past 24 hours, many altcoins have plummeted to zero. Many crypto projects have seen declines exceeding 90%, and even wrapper tokens of mainstream coins, such as WBETH and BETH, have seen significant drops. The price of IOTX has even plummeted to zero. Stablecoins have also experienced depegging, with the USDE depegging to 0.62 before returning to its peg. Binance even experienced a downtime due to excessive traffic.


On the evening of October 10, Trump threatened to increase tariffs on China on his social platform, and at 5 a.m. on the 11th, he threatened to impose a 100% tariff, which directly triggered a series of declines in cryptocurrencies.
The sharp drop in altcoins may be due to issues with market makers. According to crypto influencer @octopusycc, the sharp drop in altcoins is entirely due to issues with active market makers, who are typically unable to adequately hedge.
According to their analysis, market makers have limited funds, and this limited capital leads to different liquidity provision for projects across Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4. Tier 0 and Tier 1 projects receive the most funding, while other Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects receive a bit of support. Following the collapse of Jump, a large number of projects fell into the hands of active market makers. Therefore, when Trump decided to reimpose tariffs, there wasn't enough capital to backstop all projects. Consequently, only large projects could be guaranteed to be safe. Funds originally intended to support smaller projects were even diverted to larger Tier 0 and Tier 1 projects. This resulted in market makers simply not having enough funds to place orders when significant selling pressure emerged, leading to a lack of counterparties and a downward price movement.
The current crypto market's active market maker funding portion is approaching saturation, with a large amount of funds being placed on large projects. However, with so many projects launched this year, the market has been overloaded and unable to fully hedge. The market also lacks sufficient derivatives to supplement liquidity for hedging purposes.
Of course, dangers and opportunities coexist. Some have turned declines into opportunities. For example, short sellers were even stopped out of profits. Others, however, bought the dips in mainstream and packaged tokens, seeking wealth and fortune amidst the dangers. One crypto influencer shared their own trading experience, earning $8 million in a short period of time by buying the dips in USDE and BETH.
Some are happy while others are sad. More investors and the entire crypto market are faced with the task of "post-disaster reconstruction."
The market teaches us two things. One is that investment is the art of risk control. The second is that as long as you don't leave the table, there will always be opportunities.

As the crypto market heads deeper into Q4 2025, two projects are grabbing attention for completely different reasons. Pi Network (PI), long known for its ambitious mobile mining vision, is finally transitioning into an open blockchain — and traders are debating whether it can reclaim the $1 mark next year.
Meanwhile, AlphaPepe (ALPE), a new meme coin presale on the BNB Chain, is dominating retail hype with a clear goal: to become the next 100× crypto. As Pi Network works to prove its utility, AlphaPepe is racing ahead on meme energy and community traction — offering a completely different path to potential life-changing gains.
Pi Network’s shift from its enclosed ecosystem to open network functionality has brought the project closer to legitimacy. For years, PI existed largely as a mobile mining app with an inactive token — now, users can finally trade PI on select exchanges as the network opens globally.
The community is hopeful that the upcoming Protocol 23 upgrade, expected by early 2026, will mark a turning point. The update promises better scalability, higher throughput, and more on-chain app integrations — features needed to transform Pi into a functioning ecosystem rather than a passive mining network.
At present, PI’s price fluctuates between $0.25 and $0.40, with resistance forming near $0.45. Analysts warn that failure to reclaim that range could send PI lower, but a successful upgrade or new listings might push it to $0.60–$0.80. In a bullish scenario, renewed trading access and utility growth could lift the token back toward $1 — though such a move will require broad market momentum and strong developer engagement.
Despite skepticism, Pi Network’s massive global user base and gamified mining app continue to drive interest. If the open-network transition succeeds, PI could finally achieve what it promised years ago: a truly decentralized social cryptocurrency.
While Pi Network rebuilds credibility, AlphaPepe is doing the opposite — building momentum at lightning speed. This meme presale has already raised more than $290,000, surpassed 2,300 holders, and is adding over 100 new participants every day.
AlphaPepe is built on the BNB Chain, giving it instant scalability and access to one of the busiest ecosystems in crypto. But what sets it apart is its structure:
These features have made AlphaPepe one of the most credible meme launches in recent memory — rare in a market often filled with fleeting hype.
At its presale price of $0.006, AlphaPepe offers the kind of asymmetrical opportunity meme traders dream of. Even modest listings at $0.60 or $1 could produce 100× to 1,000× returns — meaning even a $10 entry could balloon into thousands if momentum holds.
Social traction across X and Telegram has pushed AlphaPepe into viral territory. Analysts call it the “perfect mix of meme energy and investor protection” — a project built to harness hype without collapsing under it.
Pi Network and AlphaPepe represent the two sides of 2025’s crypto market. Pi appeals to builders and believers — investors waiting for real adoption. AlphaPepe captures the speculative engine that fuels every bull run — fast-moving, high-community, high-reward.
Investors who mix both can balance risk and reward — Pi for steady exposure, AlphaPepe for potential exponential gains.
Pi Network (PI)
AlphaPepe (ALPE)
Pi Network’s journey toward $1 hinges on execution — a functioning mainnet, new listings, and active developer participation. It’s a long game, with steady but uncertain progress.
AlphaPepe, on the other hand, is already on the move. With $290K raised, 2,300+ holders, instant delivery, staking rewards, audit-backed security, and locked liquidity, it’s the next 100× crypto retail traders are rallying behind.
For conservative investors, Pi offers slow growth and structural potential. For those chasing breakout returns, AlphaPepe is the clear asymmetric play — the project that could turn small allocations into life-changing wins.

Can Pi Network really hit $1 in 2025?
It’s possible if the next upgrade succeeds and liquidity improves, but execution risk remains high.
Why is AlphaPepe trending now?
Because it combines meme-coin virality with audit-verified security, staking, and liquidity locks — a rare mix in today’s presale market.
How much has AlphaPepe raised so far?
Over $290,000, with more than 2,300 holders and growing by 100+ new participants daily.
Which has more upside — PI or AlphaPepe?
Pi has slow, steady potential; AlphaPepe has high-risk, high-reward potential for 100× returns.
Can AlphaPepe really be 100×?
If retail momentum continues through 2026, the numbers make it plausible — it’s already showing the right early traction.
Pi Network’s open-network expansion and upcoming upgrades could lift PI back toward $1 by 2026, but execution challenges remain. Meanwhile, AlphaPepe is already igniting retail markets with $290K raised, 2,300+ holders, staking up to 85% APR, audit transparency, and locked liquidity. Analysts see it as the next 100× crypto, offering meme power with real fundamentals. Pi is playing the long game; AlphaPepe is winning the fast one.

Since I have been involved in the gardening business for the majority of my life – which has been a very long time – I find myself reminiscing more and more each year. When I was growing up in the business, the planting of spring flowering bulbs was a gardening tradition everyone enjoyed.
I can say that was literally in the last century. Since then, the tradition has declined more and more each decade. My thoughts on the reason for this would be an increasing demand for what is referred to as instant gratification. Today no one has the desire or patience to spend time digging holes then have to wait six months for the flowers.
If this description fits your personality, I think you might want to consider this. The wait and the anticipation will also grow your appreciation for the spectacular blooms.
Tulips and daffodils are the most popular spring flowering bulbs, but there are others. Spring-flowering bulbs require a long period of cool temps to process a chemical reaction inside of the plant to produce the blooms.
If you might be considering planting some bulbs this fall, here are some tips.
Tulips are definitely the most colorful of all of the spring flowering bulbs. You can find a tulip in almost any color in the rainbow. The problem with tulips – and it is a big one – is they are like candy to deer. The deer grazing your neighborhood will be watching your tulips as they emerge out of the ground. They will be there the day when the flowers open up, and they could be gone before you ever see them. When you plant tulips, you will need to have a deer repellent ready to go as the flower buds start to form.
If you want spring flowers but you do not want to have to worry about the deer, plant daffodils. Daffodils are poisonous to deer, and they know it. They will not eat daffodils. With daffodils, you are limited to shades of yellow, orange and white. While you are limited in colors, you will not have to worry about the blooms being eaten.
For early spring color, you can plant crocuses or snowdrops. Muscari, also known as grape hyacinths, are low growing. They are great for creating a colorful border.
There are also some bulbs that can create interest in the garden with their unusual flowers. Alliums produce large, sphere-shaped lavender flowers on tall stalks. Large growing fritillaria are also great for adding fragrance to the garden.
There are also bulbs you can plant for adding fragrance to the landscape in the spring. The best are hyacinths. These come in shades of pink, blue and white. Hyacinths will also attract deer.
Spring flowering bulbs can give you the opportunity to be very creative. Different bulbs bloom at different times. Even with tulips and daffodils there are different varieties that bloom at different times. Be sure to get a good mix so you can maximize the time you have the colorful blooms.
Wildlife does create challenges when you want to have beds full of spring flowering bulbs. I have already warned you about deer which is the biggest challenge. Another problem is the chipmunks and squirrels, who will dig up and eat your bulbs.
To reduce the threat of these animals ruining your bulb planting, you can use Fertilome’s all-purpose animal repellent called Critter-Go. I have successfully used this product to keep chipmunks from digging around our stone patio. Squirrels are also listed on the label. To keep the animals away, simply spray the soil above the bulbs every three to four weeks. When they smell the repellent, they will go someplace else to look for food.

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market value, extended declines on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his trade conflict with China.
Trump on Friday said he was raising tariffs on Chinese exports to the U.S. to 100% and imposing export controls on "any and all critical software" in a reprisal to recently announced export limits by China on rare earth minerals critical to tech and other manufacturing.
The spat shook global financial markets, sending the benchmark S&P 500 Index sliding by more than 2%.
Bitcoin was last down 8.4% at $104,782 as of 17:20 ET (2120 GMT).
Ethereum, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, fell 5.8% to $3637 at 17:21 ET.

XRP just got hit hard, right? Like 17% down in a single day. Turns out, the first bad news was coming from the U.S. announcing 100% tariffs on China, which sent the markets into a tailspin. Honestly, the whole crypto space is all over the place, and this just proves how fragile it really is.
If you thought crypto was safe, think again. Geopolitical tensions can mess with crypto prices just as easily as they do with stocks and currencies. When the tariffs hit, everyone ran for the hills and XRP ended up at $2.34 before the market somewhat stabilized.
You can’t say the price drop was a surprise, but the market’s reaction is a whole different ballgame. When panic sets in, everything’s on the chopping block. And while it seems like things are leveling out, who knows what’s next?
Historically, you could count on some rebounds after these macro shocks. But is that still the case? XRP has certainly bounced back after drops before, but the game is changing. The macro environment is more chaotic than ever, and crypto has its own unique events that can shake things up.
The numbers don’t lie, but they don’t tell the whole story either. XRP’s price has always danced with the broader trends influenced by traditional markets. Past rebounds might not be the best crystal ball for what’s coming next.
XRP took a nosedive, dropping 17% in just 24 hours as the whole crypto market shifted on the geopolitical news. Ripple, with its big names like Brad Garlinghouse and David Schwartz, was right in the middle of it. Institutional whales moved a whopping $50 million in XRP daily, putting extra pressure on the price.
But there is a silver lining. Analysts think XRP might bounce back as market conditions stabilize. And it’s not just XRP—the entire space has been affected. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others are also feeling the heat. There was also a huge uptick in cold wallets moving to exchanges, which resulted in a lot of liquidations. Everyone is watching the SEC ETF decisions for XRP, which could either boost or tank the market.
More companies are looking at crypto payroll platforms. But how do you deal with the volatility? A few ideas:
Spread It Out: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify between stablecoins, other cryptos, and traditional assets.
Small and Steady: Buying smaller amounts consistently helps avoid the “buy high, sell low” trap.
Get Out Fast: Change crypto payments to fiat or stablecoins as quickly as possible to keep cash flow steady.
Be Prepared: Make sure you have a solid plan for operational, financial, compliance, and reputational risks.
Make It Work for You: Use staking or lending in DeFi to generate returns while managing risk.
Stay Updated: Know what’s going on in the regulatory world and keep your business compliant.
In a nutshell, geopolitical tensions are a nightmare, and XRP’s price can swing wildly. While it has rebounded before, it’s not a guarantee anymore. As crypto continues to gain traction, expect more stablecoin usage, especially in payroll. It’s going to be a wild ride, so hang on tight.
