The countdown is almost over, folks! 🎉

In the past 24 hours, the canvas of the market witnessed a liquidation total of $230.78 million. Long liquidations tangoed to the tune of $151.90 million, whilst their short counterparts danced to a more modest rhythm of $78.88 million. A fitting spectacle unfolded on Hyperliquid, where a BTC/USD position totting a modest $5.85 million suffered the indignity of the largest singular liquidation.

Ah, the theater of regulation! South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit, with all the drama of a Chekhovian protagonist, has sanctioned Korbit after a meticulous inspection of its compliance systems. The curtain fell on December 31, and the fourth-largest crypto exchange in the country was left holding the bill for its repeated anti-money laundering follies. A tale of oversight, you say? More like a farce of oversight! 🎭

Slated for H1, 2026, Alpenglow is the kind of revamp that makes you go, “Blimey, that’s a big one!” The Solana community voted a whopping 98% in favor of this upgrade back in September 2025, as U.Today gleefully reported. 📣
