Bitmine’s unrealized losses on its Ethereum positions narrowed to $5.408 billion.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC mining pool B.TOP, posted that around 1:10 PM Beijing time today, the entire crypto market experienced a mini flash crash, with BTC, ETH and numerous altcoins seeing notable pin price movements. Even non-crypto assets such as crude oil also synchronized short-term sharp fluctuations. He advised against holding large high-leverage altcoin long positions in a unified account, as under cross-margin mode, a sudden 50% crash in a single coin could lead to insufficient account margin, triggering forced liquidation of other assets in the account. For high-leverage altcoin trading, he recommended using isolated margin mode to separate positions, preventing extreme moves in one coin from affecting the entire account. While isolated margin operations are relatively cumbersome, at minimum, in extreme market conditions, "only one position will be liquidated", reducing the risk of the entire account being wiped out instantly.

According to Al Arabiya TV, the Iraqi President stated: "We discussed with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf the issue of re-examining relations between Baghdad and Tehran. Currently, some ships carrying Iraqi oil have indeed been allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Given the current situation, I believe the United States wants to reach an agreement to end its conflict with Iran. It must be noted that we are among the countries most deeply affected by the war, and the government is doing its utmost to avoid getting involved in it." (Jinshi)

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has issued a reminder that Flop Labs has not yet released its FLOP token, nor is there any presale or meme coin associated with the project. Hayes noted that FLOP is not officially live, and cautioned the community against mistaking related tokens circulating in the market for official assets. He added that Flop Labs plans to launch an airdrop in the coming months and roll out its mainnet next year. Earlier public information showed the project had previously targeted a large-scale airdrop in Q4 2026, with the mainnet genesis block set for Q1 2027. Hayes had earlier announced he would lead Flop Labs, which is designed to build economic infrastructure for AI Agents, with FLOP serving as the native asset for AI Agents to pay for resources such as computing power and storage.

After the U.S. Treasury expanded its long-term U.S. Treasury bond repurchase operations, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield fell from a 19-year high of 5.34% to around 5.19%, while Bitcoin rose roughly 25% in several days, briefly topping $79,000. Around $4 billion in cryptocurrency short positions were liquidated during this period, further amplifying the rally. The U.S. Treasury had earlier announced it would raise the size of its longest-dated Treasury repurchase operations from $2 billion per operation to $4 billion. Analysts noted that this operation is not equivalent to the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing (QE); its main function is to improve the liquidity of older bonds and optimize the debt structure, but the market views it as a policy support signal for long-term U.S. Treasury yields. Analysts believe the key driver of Bitcoin’s recent rally is not the repurchase operation itself, but the market’s prior over-concentration of short positions. As long-term U.S. Treasury yields fell, short sellers were forced to cover their positions, triggering a powerful short squeeze. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of around $650 million this week, and Trump once again urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act, further boosting market risk appetite. Jeff Ko, chief analyst at CoinEx, said the key now is whether Bitcoin can hold its 200-day moving average around $69,000 and turn it from resistance into support. Market participants also warned that if the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield re-breaks above 4.7% and the 30-year yield approaches 5.3%, Bitcoin’s current breakout could face renewed tests. Bitcoin has now broken above its 200-day moving average and continues to rise; the next phase of the market will focus on whether it can sustain its rally in a high-yield environment.
