OKX CEO Star stated in an article on the X platform that on October 10th, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency were liquidated, and OKX observed a fundamental change in the microstructure of the cryptocurrency market from that date. Industry insiders believe that the losses from this event were more severe than the collapse of FTX. The root cause of the event was Binance's limited-time promotion offering USDe a 12% annualized yield and allowing it to be used as collateral without any real restrictions. USDe is essentially a tokenized hedge fund product, structurally different from low-risk money market funds such as BlackRock BUIDL. Binance encouraged users to exchange USDT and USDC for USDe to obtain returns, but did not adequately emphasize the risks. Users borrowed USDe as collateral to borrow USDT through revolving lending and then exchanged it again, artificially creating an annualized yield premium of 24% to 70% or more, leading to a rapid accumulation of systemic risk. When market volatility triggered USDe's de-pegging, the chain of liquidations exacerbated the collapse of assets such as WETH and BNSOL. Star pointed out that industry trust cannot be built on short-term profit speculation or marketing that masks risks, and Binance, as an industry leader, should bear corresponding responsibility.

US President Donald Trump posted on social media that the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under the management of "weak and incompetent" officials, had for years misled American businesses, policymakers, and households with its "extremely inaccurate" data, leading to his dismissal of the former director. Trump stated, "I am delighted to nominate the brilliant Brett Matsumoto as the new director." Matsumoto, a former senior research economist at the Bureau and currently a senior economist on Trump's Council of Economic Advisers, believes Matsumoto is capable of "quickly addressing" the Bureau's long-standing problems on behalf of the American people, praising him as an "outstanding, reliable, and trustworthy economist" who will surely bring the Bureau "back to its former glory."

Bitcoin's profitability for miners has reached its lowest point in 14 months, according to data from CryptoQuant. According to ChainCatcher, the miner profitability index has fallen to 21, marking the lowest level since November 2024. CryptoQuant attributes this decline to a significant drop in Bitcoin prices this week, coupled with the current mining difficulty, resulting in extremely low miner revenues. Despite a consecutive five-cycle decrease in the Bitcoin network's hash rate, which is now at its lowest since September 2025, the situation remains challenging for miners. In addition to the low revenue indicated by these metrics, some miners have been severely affected by a recent severe winter storm that swept across the eastern United States, causing ice and snow damage in multiple states.
