A series of large market sells triggered a rapid liquidation cascade on Colend, placing significant acute downward pressure on CORE.
The Colend protocol operated in line with its design, and positions below required collateral thresholds were liquidated. The cascade has largely played out, with the vast majority of positions cleared and limited residual exposure remaining in the system. This was a market-driven event.
Core Foundation and the Colend team have been actively working together in response to the event to support orderly protocol operations.
We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed.
Why BNB reach $1000?
Good question. No one knows for sure. Correlation does not prove causation. But here is a incomplete list of possible reasons.
People tend to give me too much credit. I didn't do much. I am not technically involved like Vitalik. I am at best a mascot, but more just a community member.
First and foremost, I think the new pro-crypto US Administration probably made the biggest difference. Their stance influences not only US, but most countries in the world. Most countries now adopt a pro-crypto stance. This is a significant lift for the industry. Rising tide lifts all boats.
Earlier this year, memes made a come back on BNB Chain. I actually made some mistakes that may have hindered meme coin progress on BNB Chain. I never aped meme coins before. In my clumsy learning, I may have caused some PVP, which divided the community a bit.
During the same process, I learned about the negative impact of MEV attacks (again under public eyes). BNB Chain devs, nodes, block builders, wallets, DEX, and other players subsequently spent quite a lot of effort in reduce MEV attacks.
At the same time, BNB Chain improved from 3 second block time to 1.5 seconds, and then again to 0.75 seconds.
Capacity also improved significantly.
Gas fees on BNB Chain was reduced by 10x overnight, making it one of the lowest fee blockchain.
Transaction volume further skyrocketed. BNB Chain becomes the highest transaction volume chain.
Binance Alpha removed the need for project tokens to go to smaller exchanges for listings first. Hence provided a far more streamlined process for projects to progress from DeFi to CeFi. I was not involved in the Alpha design at all. I learned about it on X.
With the come back of meme coins, BNB Chain also saw its transaction volume increase in other sectors, such as stablecoins, DEX, AI and RWAs.
WLF issued the first native stablecoin USD1 on BNB Chain, further boosting the stablecoin liquidity on chain. The previous native stablecoin BUSD (not issued by Binance), was shut down by NYDFS in 2023, just before the 3 banks (Silvergate, Signature, Silicon Valley Bank) where shutdown, leaving a gap that was finally filled by USD1. USD1 grew quickly.
Multiple RWA issuers deployed on BNB Chain.
Hundreds of AI projects deployed on BNB Chain
BNB Chain burned $1.6 billion worth of BNB in the last quarter, and also billions in the previous quarter. People often ask, why burn $1.6 billion? why not spend it on marketing? Well...
SEC dropped their lawsuit (filed under Gary Gensler) against Binance, Binance US and me personally in May. Removing the last attack on BNB potentially being a security. I am not a lawyers, this is my layman understanding. Could be off. But it was definitely good news for BNB.
YZiLabs (and other VCs) invested / incubated dozens of strong projects on BNB Chain.
Existing projects on the chain doing well. Pancake Swap handling huge volumes. Lista competing with Venus on DeFi lending. Four launching memes and RWAs. Aster's awesome TGE...
Multiple DAT companies buying BNB, in the hundreds of millions each.
More builders on BNB Chain. Strong community support. (Thank you! 🙏)
... many other reasons I don't even know about ...
Lastly, the 0.25% rate cut yesterday definitely helped in some way too, even though I don't fully understand it.
Mostly importantly, I expect much more to come from this vibrant ecosystem. Keep building! 👍

Yesterday, @ASHAWONN and @SolomonTesfaye_ joined an AMA with @Crypto_TownHall to share @Aptos’ roots, vision and next big moves. The following is a brief overview of the AMA for our international non-English speaking community members for ease of translation. Make sure to listen to the full AMA to get the entire scoop !
https://t.co/HgMbCvBOTY
1️⃣Meta Origins
‣Aptos tech was born at Meta’s Libra/Diem project.
‣Designed to move trillions of dollars & transactions across different apps.
‣Created the Move language + high-throughput blockchain for speed, security, and reliability.
2️⃣ Global Trading Engine Vision
3 Pillars:
‣Trading: Any asset, on-chain or traditional.
‣Money Movement: ~$100B stablecoin volume/month, cross-border, remittance, micro-finance.
‣On-Chain Data: Shelby (decentralized AWS) for disclosures, NAV, & storage.
3️⃣ Institutional Momentum
‣BlackRock (BUIDL), Franklin Templeton (Benji), Apollo (private credit).
‣$700M RWAs on-chain – mainly money markets & micro-finance credit.
‣Focus: as capital moves on-chain, keep it there with diversified yield + asset exposure.
4️⃣ Retail & Emerging Markets Focus
‣Unlock access to U.S. capital markets globally (e.g., Nigerian retail buying Tesla shares seamlessly).
‣Give retail earlier upside in innovation, beyond IPO lockouts.
5️⃣ Institutional L1 Trend
‣Circle & others launching private L1s = validation of blockchain utility.
‣Aptos offers broader ecosystem benefits, attracting builders beyond single-purpose chains.
6️⃣ Ecosystem Strength
Thriving DeFi & real-world apps:
‣Pact Protocol (micro-lending, driving RWA value)
‣KGen (highest-revenue non-DeFi protocol online).
‣Many Aptos dApps already revenue-positive w/ strong product-market fit.
7️⃣ 2025 Goals
‣Expand RWAs, trading, payments verticals.
‣Launch Aptos-linked ETFs, ETPs, CME futures.
‣Simplify onboarding w/ products like Decibel (trade + yield in one place).
‣Equip builders via Shelby for any dApp type, from a live streaming product to anything else
‣Continue bridging retail & institutional adoption.
Aptos is building for scale, merging institutional credibility with retail usability, keeping capital and innovation flowing on-chain, and positioning itself as the Global Trading Engine.
@Gate_io This is my trading status today. It must be your mistake on Zhima Exchange. The calculation is obviously incorrect. My profit has been discounted. Who is responsible?
@cPenCoreTeam I added CPEN tokens to Trust Wallet, but strangely the wallet does not show the token symbol. Instead, it shows the contract address. Why?
