Market fluctuations continue, with total contract liquidations across the network reaching $474 million in the past 24 hours, mainly concentrated in long positions. On the other hand, PayPal's stablecoin PYUSD has officially launched on the Stable mainnet, adding another member to the ecosystem.

Interestingly, a whale's operation has attracted attention—selling 20,000 ETH through a cyclic lending strategy to repay loans. Such high leverage maneuvers are not uncommon in the market. However, the most concerning issue is security. According to Chainalysis tracking data, North Korean hackers stole a record $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, a figure that prompts the industry to reevaluate wallet and exchange security measures.

474 million Get Liquidated? The long positions are just giving it away, the arbitrage Bots in the mempool are crying with envy. That 2 billion from North Korea... really, safety is a false topic, but this time the data is enough to be shocking, we have to be cautious. I have seen too many of that Whale's circular lending trap, but 20,000 ETH is quite a move, the gas fee optimization must be exceptional.

Longs are about to go bankrupt again, 474 million liquidation laughs to death Whale 20,000 ETH this move, I really don't understand 2 billion USD stolen? This is the most terrifying... Keep your wallet secure, everyone PayPal stablecoin is here, another tool to cut leeks? Recycling lending to sell ETH? Is this a master? I think it's just giving money to shorts North Korean hackers are so fierce, we small investors need to be even more careful 474 million liquidation, lessons learned the hard way, why are people still playing with high leverage? 2 billion USD stolen, this data needs to be thought about calmly, whose wallet is the least secure

Damn, North Korean hackers steal 2 billion a year. Our wallet security measures are really just a joke.

47.4 million liquidation? The longs are buying the dip again, this rhythm feels a bit familiar. PayPal's stablecoin is live, another traditional financial player entering the market, but does the ecosystem really need so many stablecoins... That whale is smart, just not sure when leverage will swallow it. North Korea hacked 2 billion? I just want to know how they managed to steal so smoothly. Our exchanges' security measures are not just for show. This market is outrageous, longs bleeding out, while whales are playing financial acrobatics... Really, $2 billion stolen is even scarier than a liquidation, okay? Circulating loan of 20,000 ETH for selling? This guy's guts are impressive, he'll crash sooner or later. More and more stablecoins, are they truly stable? Doubting it. North Korean hackers' records are so easily broken, we should reflect. All the liquidations are probably leveraged dreamers, this is the reality.
