October 10, 2025 — The Night Crypto Lost Its Pulse ⚡
History didn’t whisper that night — it screamed.
In just a few hours, nearly $20 billion vanished from the crypto markets.
It started quietly.
Wall Street had closed.
Europe was asleep.
Asia hadn’t awakened.
Then — at 10:04 PM ET — a single notification shattered the calm.
🇺🇸 President Donald Trump$ announced 100% tariffs on Chinese tech beginning November 1.
A spark — and the entire market ignited.
Bitcoin$BTC faltered first.
Ethereum$ETH stumbled next.
Altcoins? They didn’t fall — they imploded.
Whales moved like snipers —
shorting positions, draining liquidity, executing precision trades they had lined up for weeks.
Within hours, exchanges choked.
$7.2B liquidated. Stop-losses froze. Traders stared at blank screens.
BTC: $126K → $102K
ETH: $3.7K → $3.4K
Over 1.6 million traders wiped out overnight.
By dawn, $840B had vanished from the total crypto market cap.
Analysts called it “Black Friday for Blockchain.”
Others called it “The Great Reset.”
Was it geopolitics?
Was it manipulation?
Or just crypto being crypto — ruthless, raw, real?
Yet, as the chaos cooled, a message remained carved in digital blood:
> Leverage doesn’t forgive. Volatility never sleeps.
