News Brief
**PANews** reported on January 31st that tokenized silver futures unexpectedly dominated crypto liquidations over the past day, remarkably outpacing Bitcoin as spot silver prices plummeted from recent highs. This triggered a cascade of cross-market leveraged liquidations, with Hyperliquid witnessing the most devastating single blow—an $18.10 million XYZ:SILVER-USD position forcibly closed amid extreme volatility.What drove this rare liquidation event? I believe the primary culprit was silver's dramatic correction following its rapid ascent. Additionally, exchanges raised margin requirements for precious metal futures, compelling over-leveraged traders into forced deleveraging that amplified short-term price turbulence. Therefore, market participants are now closely monitoring whether precious metals can stabilize and if liquidation activity will shift back toward major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
PANews reported on January 31st that, according to CoinDesk, tokenized silver futures became the cryptocurrency with the largest liquidation volume in the past 24 hours, surpassing Bitcoin in a rare occurrence, due to the rapid pullback in spot silver prices from their highs. This triggered a wave of cross-market leveraged liquidations. The largest single liquidation occurred on the Hyperliquid platform, where a highly leveraged XYZ:SILVER-USD position worth $18.1 million was forcibly liquidated due to drastic price fluctuations. Analysis indicates that this abnormal liquidation was mainly due to the significant pullback after the rapid rise in silver prices, coupled with exchanges raising margin requirements for precious metal futures. This forced high-leverage positions to be passively deleveraged, exacerbating short-term price volatility. The market is focused on whether precious metal prices can stabilize and whether the focus of liquidations will shift back to core assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For
The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
