Bitcoin’s price actions took a turn for the worse over the past hour or so as the asset plunged to its lowest position since September 10 in a sudden flash crash.

The liquidations, which stood at roughly $600 million earlier today, spiked by another billion as a result.

CryptoPotato reported just an hour ago that most of the altcoins have produced painful losses of somewhere between 4% and 8%. ETH and XRP led the pack from the larger caps, while others, like CRO and HYPE, had dumped by 7%-8%.

At the time, BTC was coping rather well. It was still in the red on a daily scale, but it was down by just 1% and remained above $114,500. However, the tides have turned, and the largest cryptocurrency plunged to $112,000 in a vicious flash crash minutes ago.

This meant that bitcoin had lost more than $5,500 since its Sunday price of around $115,600. Naturally, most altcoins followed suit in a similar manner, including ETH, which plunged to under $4,050 before recovering slightly to $4,200 as of press time.

The liquidations have skyrocketed as a result of this massive volatility. They went from $630 million at the time of our previous article to $1.7 billion on a daily scale as of press time. ETH still leads with over $470 million of the total share.

A mindblowing number of more than 400,000 traders have been wrecked daily, while the single largest liquidated position was worth almost $13 million.

Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE

Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE

The post Why LYNO’s Presale Could Trigger the Next Wave of Crypto FOMO After SOL and PEPE appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocirca has never been bereft of hype cycles and fear of missing out (FOMO). The case of Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE) is one of the brightest examples that early investments into the correct projects may yield the returns that are drifting. Today there is an emerging rival in the limelight—LYNO. LYNO is in its presale stage, and already it is being compared to former breakout tokens, as many investors are speculating that LYNO will be the next big thing to ignite the market in a similar manner. Early Bird Presale: Lowest Price LYNO is in the Early Bird presale and costs only $0.050 for each token; the initial round will rise to $0.055. To date, approximately 629,165.744 tokens have been sold, with approximately $31,458.287 of that amount going towards the $100,000 project goal.  The crypto presales allow investors the privilege to acquire tokens at reduced prices before they become available to the general market, and they tend to bring substantial returns in the case of great fundamentals. The final goal of the project: 0.100 per token. This gradual development underscores increasing investor confidence and it brings a sense of urgency to those who wish to be first movers. LYNO’s Edge in a Competitive Market LYNO isn’t just another presale token—it’s a powerful AI-driven cross-chain arbitrage platform designed to deliver real utility and long-term growth. Operating across 15+ blockchains, LYNO’s AI engine analyzes token prices, liquidity, volume, and gas fees in real-time to identify the most profitable trade routes. It integrates with bridges like LayerZero, Wormhole, and Axelar, allowing assets to move instantly across networks, so no opportunity is missed.  The platform also includes community governance, letting $LYNO holders vote on protocol upgrades and fee structures, staking rewards for long-term investors, buyback-and-burn mechanisms to support token value, and audited smart…
