⚖️ FTX changed their minds to deprive customers from Russia, Ukraine and China of payments.

The exchange withdrew its petition, according to which customers from «problem countries» (China, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.) could lose their money.

Context:
FTX planned to introduce a special procedure - if it is difficult to pay funds in a particular country due to laws or sanctions, then:
• The country is recognized as «restricted».
• Creditors are given 45 days to challenge the decision.
• If there are no objections, their claims are written off, and the money is returned to the general trust.

After the pressure of creditors (including 300 Chinese who sued) - the exchange withdrew this plan.

💀 DeFi feverish - another $285,000,000 is under threat...

➠ Stream Finance reported a loss of funds of $93m.

➠ YieldsAndMore analysts believe that Stream Finance’s problems carry a potential risk for $285m assets in the DeFi ecosystem.

➠ Stream funds were distributed over many DeFi protocols - Elixir, TelosC, MEV Capital, Morpho, Silo, Euler and others.

➠ Money passed through synthetic tokens #xUSD, #xBTC and #xETH, which were used as collateral on different platforms and repeatedly redistributed between them.

➠ Most under the sights are: TelosC - potentially can lose $123.6m, Elixir - $68m, MEV Capital - $25.4m.

➠ Elixir’s situation is particularly alarming - about $68m, or 65% of their stablecoin deUSD reserves, are placed in Stream Finance and are now blocked. Refunds are suspended while legal review is underway.

➠ The risk map is incomplete, new points of infection may appear as items are liquidated and contracts are audited.

➠ The Stream incident was the third major blow to DeFi in a week

❌🇺🇸 Donald Trump said that SNAP program benefits will be issued only after the U.S. government resumes its work.

More than 40,000,000 Americans rely on the SNAP program - monthly benefits are about $8,200,000,000 (now payments are frozen).

The decision may affect low-income families, pensioners and recipients of social benefits, for whom SNAP is the main source of food support.

🧸 Welcome to the bear market...

Twitter is already trumpeting that Bitcoin has officially entered the bear market stage, having collapsed by 20% since the peaks of October 6.

@Сryptoz ₿

📉 CryptoQuant: Bitcoin may drop to $72,000 if it does not hold the $100,000 level.

The reason is weak demand after the largest liquidation on October 10 at $20b.

Since then:
⊹ Spot purchases of BTC are decreasing.
⊹ Outflows continue from crypto-ETF.
⊹ There is a negative premium on Coinbase (BTC is traded cheaper on Coinbase than on other exchanges).
⊹ Bull Score index from CryptoQuant - 20 out of 100, bright bear zone.

Context:
⊹ Bitcoin fell below $100k for the first time since June. ⊹ Other crypto assets are also in the red: «GMCI 30» (TOP-30 largest cryptocurrencies) -9% per day.
⊹ Investors are going to risk-off - they fear new tariffs, a pause of the Fed with the rate and a weak stock market.

At the same time, CryptoQuant and Hashdex believe that the $100,000 level is more psychological than fundamental.

Strong factors remain:
⊹ Record inflows to Bitcoin ETF since the beginning of the year.
⊹ Corporations continue to increase Bitcoin on balance sheets.
⊹ Completion of the Fed’s #QT can return liquidity to the markets.
