  • The glitch occurred on the morning of January 19.
  • The team rolled back the protocol.

On January 19, 2026, the price of bitcoin on the Paradex decentralized exchange in the Starknet ecosystem dropped to zero, sparking a wave of liquidations. The team decided to roll back the protocol to the point before the incident. 

According to the official website, the glitch occurred at 07:36 GMT+2. At 14:15 GMT+2, the platform resumed operations. The team’s statement says the protocol was rolled back to block 1,604,710. All open orders were forcibly closed, except for TPSL. 

The number of people hit by forced liquidations, as well as the total losses at the time of writing, is unknown. Moreover, the incident is not mentioned on the exchange’s official X (formerly Twitter) page. 

At the same time, according to DeFiLlama, the platform’s daily trading volume in perpetual futures contracts stands at $1.6 billion. 

The situation drew criticism toward the exchange and its team. Some users pointed out that the project violated the blockchain immutability principle and called for sabotaging its operations by withdrawing assets.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
