Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy has dismissed widespread speculation that his firm intends to sue Binance over losses from October’s historic crypto crash, stating “literally nothing changed” since his earlier clarifications and the company never had such plans. The clarification comes after days of social media speculation linking the market maker to potential litigation over auto-deleveraging executions during the October 10-11 flash crash that liquidated $19 billion in positions and briefly erased $600 billion from the crypto market cap. literally nothing changed since this tweet and we never had plans to sue binance, nor see any reason to do it in futureI should probably ask to make a note of all the people spreading baseless rumors, but most of people believing these have goldfish memory capacity, so I wont https://t.co/0oHShby0Uk— wishful_cynic (@EvgenyGaevoy) November 3, 2025 Gaevoy labeled the rumors as “larp” when directly asked whether he had signed a non-disclosure agreement with Binance or coordinated with other market makers to pursue joint legal action. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao amplified the denial by quote-tweeting Gaevoy’s post, writing, “If someone made you believe otherwise, it’s time to click unfollow.“October Crash Stir ADL ControversyThe October 10 selloff was triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, creating panic across global markets. Bitcoin plummeted to $104,782 during the 48-hour period, while Ethereum and major altcoins lost between 15% and 20% of their value. Binance’s trading infrastructure buckled under the strain, with API failures returning HTTP 503 errors and Reduce-Only orders being rejected during peak volatility.The exchange’s Auto-Deleveraging mechanism was activated, resulting in short liquidations at prices up to five times the prevailing market rates. Binance spent $188 million from its insurance fund and issued $283 million in refunds for oracle-related depegs, though ADL losses were excluded from compensation.Gaevoy had previously stated in a video that Wintermute was “ADL’d at completely ridiculous prices” and mentioned that the firm was evaluating legal options. These remarks fueled speculation about the lawsuit.

No large withdrawals exceeding $10 million or liquidation patterns involving Aave or Compound were detected; however, a single 1,000 BTC inflow worth approximately $61 million occurred on October 4, just days before the crash.Market Structure Under ScrutinyThe October event exposed structural vulnerabilities in crypto derivatives markets, where notional liquidation figures vastly overstate actual capital losses. Speaking with Cryptonews, Sam Seo, chairman of the Kaia DLT Foundation, said the actual capital lost by traders is likely “in the range of 5% to 15% of the headline number,” translating to between $950 million and $2.85 billion in real losses. He warned that “the remaining 85-95% was simply phantom leverage, synthetic exposure that was rapidly unwound.“ Most people on Crypto Twitter freaked out over the $19B in liquidations. But real trader losses are far smaller than that, may be only 15% of the total figure.#CryptoCrash #Liquidations #BTChttps://t.co/d0IJDFeaNC— Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) October 17, 2025 Bitcoin futures open interest collapsed by more than 30% during the selloff, erasing over $10 billion in notional positions in one of the largest single-day declines on record, comparable to the May 2021 liquidation and the FTX unwind in 2022.Patrick Heusser, head of lending and TradFi at Sentora, also explained that “liquidations [are] a speedometer for deleveraging intensity, not a profit and loss statement,” noting that exchanges settle these events using margin and insurance funds. Despite the chaos, Bitcoin recovered to $114,000 by October 13, supported by $420 million in spot ETF inflows that helped stabilize prices.‘Uptober’ Turns Red for First Time Since 2018According to Reuters, October marked Bitcoin’s first monthly loss since 2018, snapping a seven-year winning streak and ending nearly 5% lower for the month despite reaching an all-time high above $126,000 just days before the crash. The reversal came as broader risk appetite weakened, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pushing back against market expectations for continued rate cuts and a government shutdown blocking crucial economic data. Analyst Scott Melker has earlier called Bitcoin’s resilience “a small miracle” after the liquidation, stating “I don’t think we’re entering a bear market” and noting “this isn’t 2017. Nor is it 2021. What happened last week was purely structural.“Bitcoin opened November trading at $106,961, down 0.7% as whale profit-taking and continued ETF outflows pressured prices below $107,000. For the first time in seven months, institutional demand has fallen below the pace of new coin issuance, indicating that large buyers are stepping back.Source: X/@caprioleioMarkets now price a roughly 70% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in December, down from 94% a week earlier, as policymakers deliver mixed signals on growth and inflation.Analysts remain cautiously optimistic that November could restore typical seasonal strength, as Bitcoin has historically averaged returns exceeding 40% during the month.Speaking with Cryptonews, MEXC Research Chief Analyst Shawn Young noted that “accumulation of coins by major market participants, the trade agreement between Washington and Beijing, and moderately positive stock market performance are paving the way for a possible recovery in November.“VALR CEO Farzam Ehsani also warned that the market structure remains fragile, stating, “any change in the Fed’s tone or a new round of geopolitical tension could dramatically shift the balance of power,” keeping Bitcoin likely range-bound between $107,000 and $113,000 as participants await clearer macro signals.The post Wintermute Denies Binance Lawsuit Plans Amid Market Maker Rumors appeared first on Cryptonews.

The largest DeFi lending protocol will continue to use revenue to repurchase AAVE tokens.

The Aave DAO has approved a proposal to make its AAVE buyback program permanent, allocating $50 million per year from protocol revenue to repurchase tokens.The proposal, authored by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) and revealed on Oct. 22, 2025, was passed with 100% “Yae” votes. The plan is part of Aave’s long-term “Aavenomics” to increase the value of the AAVE token and strengthen the project’s treasury. It also continues Aave’s previous buyback program indefinitely. Aave is currently the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol with a total value locked (TVL) of $36.4 billion, according to DeFiLlama. It has recorded $12.7 million in revenue over the past 30 days. To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

Institutional Bitcoin treasuries are coming but they won’t touch DeFi unless the liquidity, custody, and risk models meet their standards. Threshold (TBTC) is building that bridge. In this interview, we break down how TBTC is competing with WBTC, why full decentralization alone isn’t enough, and why Threshold is now designing hybrid custody solutions to connect DeFi with the emerging wave of Bitcoin treasury companies (DATs). We also discuss adoption signals on Aave, real BTC collateral usage, governance structure, and the roadmap toward sustainably scaling Bitcoin finance beyond token incentives.img,[object Object]To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

Ink, a Layer 2 (L2) blockchain launched by U.S. crypto exchange Kraken in December 2024, saw its total value locked (TVL) surge by nearly 3,800% in less than two weeks, climbing from $6.42 million on Oct. 15 to nearly $249 million as of press time.However, data from DefiLlama shows that out of 30 protocols deployed on Ink, more than 97% of this sharp increase came from a single product, Tydro, a non-custodial lending protocol built by the Ink Foundation, as a white label instance of open-source DeFi giant Aave.

Introduction to Altcoin Trading Altcoins are any cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin. Over the past decade the crypto ecosystem has exploded from a handful of coins to thousands, each trying to solve a specific problem—whether it’s enabling smart contracts (Ethereum), providing fast, low‑fee payments (Solana, Litecoin), powering decentralized finance (Uniswap, Aave), supporting NFTs and gaming (Axie Infinity, Decentraland), or offering privacy (Monero, Zcash). Because many of these projects are still early in their development cycles, their market prices tend to be more volatile than Bitcoin. That volatility creates opportunities for traders who can correctly anticipate short‑term price moves, but it also brings heightened risk of rapid losses. Key concepts to grasp before diving in: Market Capitalization & Liquidity – Larger caps (top 20) usually have tighter spreads and deeper order books, making it easier to enter and exit positions without slippage. Smaller caps can move dramatically on modest trade volumes, which can be attractive for speculative gains but also risky. Tokenomics – Understand the supply model (fixed vs. inflationary), distribution schedule (vesting, staking rewards) and utility of the token. Sudden token releases or protocol upgrades often trigger price spikes or drops. Fundamental Drivers – Project roadmaps, partnership announcements, regulatory news, and community sentiment (Twitter, Reddit, Discord) heavily influence altcoin price dynamics. Technical Analysis Basics – Trend lines, support/resistance zones, moving averages, RSI and MACD are commonly applied to altcoin charts. Given the higher noise, combining several indicators and confirming with volume can improve signal reliability. Risk Management – Set stop‑loss levels, limit leverage, and allocate only a small portion of your portfolio to any single altcoin. Diversification across several projects can smooth out the impact of a single coin’s failure. Regulatory Landscape – Some jurisdictions treat certain altcoins as securities, which can affect exchange listings and legal exposure. Stay informed about the regulatory status of the tokens you trade. By mastering these fundamentals—understanding what each altcoin aims to achieve, how its market behaves, and how to protect capital—you’ll be better equipped to navigate the fast‑paced world of altcoin trading. 1. Why Altcoins Matter Altcoins—cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin—represent the bulk of the crypto ecosystem. They range from established projects like Ethereum, Solana and Cardano to newer tokens that aim to solve niche problems such as decentralized finance, gaming, or supply‑chain tracking. For many traders, altcoins offer higher volatility than Bitcoin, which can translate into larger short‑term price swings and, consequently, bigger profit opportunities—provided the trader understands the added risk. 2. How Nueva Wealth Handles Altcoins Nueva Wealth treats every cryptocurrency it lists as a CFD (contract‑for‑difference). When you open an altcoin position, you are not buying the token itself; you are speculating on its price movement relative to a fiat or stablecoin denominator. The platform currently offers a curated selection of altcoins, typically the top‑20 by market capitalization, plus a few emerging projects that meet its internal liquidity standards. Key characteristics of the altcoin CFD offering: Fixed spreads – The bid‑ask spread is set in advance and does not change with order size. During periods of extreme market stress, the spread may widen, which can affect entry and exit prices. Leverage options – Most altcoins are available with up to 1:10 leverage. This means a $100 margin can control a $1,000 notional position, magnifying both gains and losses. No token custody – Because the contracts are settled in fiat or a stablecoin, you never receive the underlying altcoin in a wallet. This eliminates concerns about private‑key management but also means you cannot use the token for staking, governance voting, or other on‑chain utilities. Overnight financing – Holding a leveraged altcoin position past the daily settlement window incurs a financing charge calculated on the notional value of the contract. 3. Advantages for Altcoin Traders Speed of Execution – Order latency is measured in sub‑seconds, which is valuable when trading fast‑moving altcoins where price changes can happen in milliseconds. Unified Dashboard – Altcoins sit alongside forex, stocks and commodities, allowing you to shift capital between asset classes without leaving the app. Risk Management Tools – Stop‑loss and trailing‑stop orders are available for each altcoin CFD, giving you a way to limit downside exposure. No Custodial Hassles – Since you never hold the actual token, you avoid the complexities of securing private keys, managing wallets, or dealing with network congestion when transferring coins. 4. Limitations and Risks Lack of Ownership – Without holding the real token, you cannot benefit from airdrops, staking rewards, or governance participation that many altcoin projects offer. Leverage‑Induced Volatility – Altcoins already exhibit high price swings; adding leverage can quickly erode a margin balance if the market moves against you. Liquidity Constraints – While Nueva Wealth selects altcoins with sufficient liquidity, the CFD market depth can be thinner than the spot market on major exchanges. Slippage may occur on large orders. Regulatory Ambiguity – Operating under an offshore licence, the platform does not fall under EU or UK investor‑protection regimes. In the event of insolvency, there is no statutory compensation for deposited funds. Limited Educational Content – The platform’s built‑in learning resources cover basic CFD concepts but do not delve deeply into altcoin fundamentals, tokenomics, or project‑specific risk factors. Traders need to conduct independent research. 5. Practical Tips for Using Nueva Wealth with Altcoins Start Small – Allocate only a modest portion of your capital (e.g., ≤ 10 %) to leveraged altcoin positions until you become comfortable with the platform’s execution and fee structure. Set Protective Stops – Use stop‑loss orders at a level that reflects the altcoin’s typical volatility; consider a trailing‑stop to lock in gains if the price moves favorably. Monitor Financing Costs – If you plan to hold a position overnight, calculate the daily financing charge and factor it into your profitability analysis. Cross‑Check Liquidity – Before entering a sizable trade, compare the quoted spread on Nueva Wealth with spot market spreads on major exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase). A significantly wider spread may indicate lower CFD liquidity. Do Independent Research – Review the altcoin’s whitepaper, roadmap, developer activity, and community sentiment. CFD exposure does not replace the need for fundamental analysis. 6. Frequently Asked Questions Specific to Altcoins Do I earn staking rewards on altcoins traded through Nueva Wealth?No. Because the contracts are settled in fiat or stablecoins, you do not hold the actual token and therefore cannot participate in staking or delegation programs. Can I trade any altcoin I want?Only the altcoins that Nueva Wealth lists are available as CFDs. The selection is limited to assets that meet the platform’s liquidity and compliance criteria. What happens if an altcoin gets delisted on the spot market?If the underlying token is removed from major exchanges, Nueva Wealth may suspend CFD trading for that asset. Existing positions could be closed automatically, and any resulting profit or loss would be settled in fiat. Are there any tax implications specific to CFD altcoin trading?Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. Generally, CFD profits are considered capital gains or income, depending on local law. Because you never own the token, you do not report a “crypto acquisition” event, but you do need to declare realized gains or losses from CFD closures. Consult a tax professional for guidance. 7. Verdict – Is Nueva Wealth Good for Altcoin Trading? Nueva Wealth offers a fast, mobile‑friendly environment that makes it easy to speculate on a curated list of altcoins. Its strengths lie in rapid order execution, built‑in risk‑management tools and the convenience of handling multiple asset classes from a single interface. For experienced traders who are comfortable with leveraged speculation, understand the risks of CFD products, and are primarily interested in short‑term price movements, Nueva Wealth can be a suitable venue for altcoin exposure. For newcomers or those who wish to hold altcoins long‑term, earn staking rewards, or rely on regulatory protections, a traditional spot exchange or a regulated broker that offers direct token custody may be a better fit. Ultimately, the decision hinges on your trading objectives, risk tolerance, and willingness to supplement the platform’s limited educational content with independent research. If you choose to proceed, start with a small allocation, use protective stops, and keep a close eye on financing costs and liquidity conditions.
