Crypto Carnage: Tariff Bombshell Triggers $200B Crash as Ethereum Leads Liquidation Bloodbath

Trade War Bombshell Sinks Crypto Markets The crypto market’s abrupt downturn in mid-October was triggered by a major geopolitical surprise.

Ethereum’s Uptober Rollercoaster: Near-Record Highs, Flash Crash, and the $5K Question

What’s Next for Ethereum? Ethereum’s journey in October 2025 vividly encapsulates its dual nature: high upside potential tempered by high volatility.
