Forbes Reveals Trump Holds $870M in Bitcoin

🚨 Crypto com CEO Calls for Regulatory Probe After Record Liquidations

In the aftermath of last weekend’s $19B crypto wipeout, Crypto com CEO Kris Marszalek is demanding accountability.
In a post on X dated October 11, Marszalek urged global regulators to investigate the ten exchanges responsible for the largest wave of liquidations during the flash crash, citing “the need for transparency and fairness” in margin and liquidation practices.

The move reignites debate around how centralized exchanges handle cascading leverage events. Some analysts suspect “liquidation bias” — systems that prioritize exchange revenue over user protection.
If regulators respond, this could mark the first coordinated examination of liquidation engines since the 2021 bull cycle.

🚀 BNB Rebounds 16% After Weekend Flash Crash

After one of the most violent drops in recent months, BNB has bounced back with conviction — up 16% in 24 hours, trading near $1,309.
The recovery follows intense weekend volatility that briefly sent the token under $1,100 before buyers flooded in.

Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) once again dismissed speculation about coordinated price support, stating that “BNB doesn’t rely on market makers.”
Analysts, meanwhile, highlight renewed demand for Binance Smart Chain tokens and an uptick in on-chain volume — a sign that confidence in BNB’s ecosystem may be returning faster than expected.

🐋 The $150M Whale Returns — Another Massive Short on Hyperliquid

The mysterious Hyperliquid trader who made headlines with a $150 million profit by shorting the market before the October 10 crash is back.
According to HypurrScan, the same address has now opened a new short position exceeding $160 million, deploying $16 million in collateral with 10x leverage against Bitcoin.

While details on the entry price remain undisclosed, on-chain analysts are watching closely — the position size alone is enough to influence liquidation dynamics across major derivatives platforms.
If history repeats itself, this trader might once again front-run the next major move in the market.

🌐 MetaMask Officially Confirms Token Launch

MetaMask has officially announced its long-anticipated token launch, sparking excitement across the DeFi landscape.
The wallet’s token is expected to reward early users and ecosystem contributors, marking a major milestone for the most widely used non-custodial wallet in crypto.

Industry insiders speculate that the move could serve as a stepping stone toward MetaMask DAO governance, giving users a formal say in product evolution.
As a result, DEX activity surged overnight, and the announcement briefly pushed ETH gas fees to a two-week high.

🇺🇸 Trump Named One of America’s Largest Bitcoin Holders

In a fresh report from Forbes, Donald Trump has been listed among the largest individual Bitcoin holders in the United States, with an estimated $870 million in BTC holdings.
The revelation adds a political dimension to the ongoing narrative around Bitcoin’s institutional adoption.

Trump’s growing crypto portfolio — disclosed after several wallet movements traced to his campaign-linked addresses — underscores how deeply digital assets have infiltrated U.S. political and financial circles.
Whether symbolic or strategic, this development blurs the line between crypto’s populist origins and its place within the global elite.
