first_img Asian chip stocks plummet, causing an $800 million liquidation, SanDisk contract settlement exceeds XRP

According to CoinGlass data, in the past 24 hours, 10 exchanges have liquidated approximately $803 million in leveraged positions, with long positions accounting for $694 million, representing 86%, affecting a total of 172,100 traders. About $595 million, nearly three-quarters of the total for the day, was liquidated in the last 12 hours, as the South Korean KOSPI index fell by more than 6%, and Bitcoin briefly dropped below $81,000. The largest single liquidation was a $9.65 million Bitcoin long position on Binance, which was forcibly closed at around $81,773, with Binance accounting for half of the total liquidation volume.Bitcoin topped the list with $181 million in liquidations, followed closely by Ethereum with $178 million, despite its market capitalization being much smaller than Bitcoin's; SOL positions lost $60 million, ZEC $24 million, and NEAR $22 million. Stock-related contracts then made the list, with perpetual contracts tracking U.S. storage chip manufacturer SanDisk liquidating $19.09 million, slightly above HYPE's $19.04 million and XRP's $18.78 million. These perpetual contracts allow traders to bet on stock prices without an expiration date on cryptocurrency exchanges, with contracts for SK Hynix, Micron, and the triple-leveraged U.S. semiconductor ETF SOXL also appearing on the heatmap, with SOXL liquidating $7.21 million.The aforementioned losses coincided with a sell-off in the Seoul market, where Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each fell by about 8%, as the market worried about AI-related valuations and competition from Chinese storage chip manufacturers.

first_img INFINIT launched a custodial trading vault on Hyperliquid

On October 12, 2026, the strategy and treasury infrastructure provider INFINIT launched a custodial trading treasury framework, with the first named treasury being APEX Multi-Strategy. The treasury is limited to qualified Hyperliquid markets with an open interest of at least $100 million. Depositors enter with USDC during the specified window and receive receipt tokens representing their shares. The strategy manager trades within a fixed period, and at the end of the term, holders can redeem their shares based on the treasury's USDC value after fees are deducted. The manager sets fees, lock-up periods, deposit windows, risk limits, and strategies before opening deposits.INFINIT states that deposits are held in a 3-of-4 multi-signature, with keys distributed between INFINIT and the operations team. Trading vouchers can be opened and closed, but depositor funds cannot be withdrawn. The company publishes a shared trading wallet and provides weekly performance reports to depositors. The shared infrastructure INFINIT OS covers strategy research and testing, treasury setup, share accounting, controlled execution, risk monitoring, and investor reporting, and can provide strategy managers with legal frameworks, regulated fund licenses, and fund management support.Managers must comply with INFINIT Standard to accept deposits, including completing identity verification and screening, co-investing with depositors in initial loss capital, demonstrating live trading records, and declaring market, leverage, exposure, and drawdown limits. The first treasury is operated by Apex Quantitative Capital, with a strategy based on a systematic CTA momentum model, covering stocks, commodities, and crypto through Hyperliquid perpetual contracts, maintaining a dollar-neutral book.
