Perps 101 · Day 1: What’s a perp? 🧠 A futures contract that never expires. You’re just trading the price of the asset, not actually owning it. Since there’s no expiry date to pull it back to spot, a small payment between longs and shorts (called funding) keeps the price pinned close to the real market price.

One good trade, it’s all it takes.

One year later: Bitcoin’s $19B liquidation crash still defines crypto risk On October 10, 2025, a single Trump tariff announcement (100% on Chinese imports) triggered the largest derivatives liquidation in crypto history—more than $19 billion in leveraged positions wiped out in roughly 24 hours. What happened: • Triggered outside crypto: markets repriced for a trade war. • 1.6+ million accounts liquidated; longs absorbed the bulk (~$16–17B). • Bitcoin had hit a near-ATH of ~$126,200 just four days earlier (Oct 6). It dropped 14–17% intraday, touching lows around $102k–$107k. • Open interest fell more than 30%. Hundreds of billions in broader market cap vanished in hours. The fine print and fallout: 
The $19B figure is notional size of closed positions, not cash losses. On-chain estimates put actual realized losses far lower ($950M–$2.85B range). Thin liquidity caused price gaps instead of orderly slides, while cross-margin mechanics let one bad position wipe out an entire account. Binance later offered ~$300M in compensation tied to its automated liquidations. The event exposed how fragile leveraged crypto markets remain when a macro shock hits crowded longs. Where things stand now: 
As of early October 2026, bitcoin:native trades around $83k–$83.5k—roughly 34% below its peak. Leverage was flushed, but risk appetite has only modestly eased. Open interest, funding rates, and cross-margin usage are the gauges to watch: if they rebuild while liquidity stays thin, the same dominoes can fall again. Tail risk from external policy shocks remains the clearest lesson. No on-chain metric flagged this one in advance.

BREAKING: @AbstractChain is shutting down. The Pudgy Penguins-backed L2 will wind down and go offline on Dec 15. Igloo says it lost tens of millions funding the chain, growth stalled, and they won’t launch a token to keep it alive. This comes days after @blast said the same thing: chain costs exceeded revenue, no path to sustainability. Two L2s in one week. Consolidation, or the start of a real shakeout?
