Bitcoin Dumps to Weekly Lows as Liquidations Skyrocket to Over $1.1 Billion

Nearly a billion worth of long positions have been wrecked in the past 24 hours as the positive macro developments have failed to propel a price rally for risk-on assets like crypto.

Just the opposite, bitcoin and most altcoins have headed south once again in the past hour, with numerous weekly lows.

The promises of an Uptober have crashed and burned in 2025 as the market has failed to produce any substantial gains since the early surge to a new all-time high. Bitcoin’s chart from above demonstrates that the asset has been in a free-fall state ever since that peak marked on October 6.

Even if we exclude the flash crash four days later, BTC is still nearly $20,000 down in just over three weeks. The asset was rejected at $116,000 twice in the past four days, and the bulls put all hopes on yesterday’s Fed rate cut and today’s meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Both of those events led to what the investors expected and hoped for: a reduction in interest rates and lower tariffs on China.

Yet, the cryptocurrency market failed to capitalize. Just the opposite, bitcoin slumped from over $112,000 yesterday to $107,500 minutes ago, which became a new weekly low.

The market leader’s nosedive dragged the altcoins along, with ETH dumping by 5% to under $3,800 and XRP dropping by over 6% to $2.45. Even more painful declines come from the likes of HASH (-22%), ASTER (-13%), KAS (-11%), PI (-10.5%), WLFI (-10%), and many others.

Such big moves in either direction tend to harm over-leveraged traders, and the correction in the past 24 hours is no different. More than 210,000 such market participants have been wrecked daily, while the total value of liquidated positions has skyrocketed to more than $1.1 billion. Naturally, almost all of that amount came from longs ($974 million).

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
