Zexpire gains traction as Bitcoin and Ethereum tumble

Crypto hit by $1.7b liquidation wave, the largest since 2024, as projects like Zexpire aim to turn volatility into opportunity.

The crypto market is struggling to find its footing after one of the largest liquidation waves in nearly a year. According to Bitget data, more than $1.7 billion in leveraged long positions were wiped out within 24 hours, marking the biggest single-day liquidation event since late 2024.

Ethereum leads the selloff, Bitcoin follows

Ethereum was at the epicenter of the turmoil. A sharp 9% drop below $4,000 triggered cascading margin calls, forcing mass liquidations across derivatives exchanges. The forced selling spilled into Bitcoin, which slipped 3% intraday before partially recovering to hover around $113,000.

Crypto’s perpetual futures markets had been heating up all week. Open interest rose 10% to $1.05 trillion, showing just how much leverage was packed into the system before the crash. When ETH broke down, the high concentration of long positions made the market ripe for a liquidation cascade.

For Bitcoin, derivatives sentiment has shifted sharply. Its funding rate turned negative (-0.00035835%), a rare signal that short positions are now paying to maintain their bets, reflecting growing bearish conviction.

Zexpire reinvents volatility trading, no leverage involved

Market turbulence like this highlights the danger of leverage and liquidation spirals — but it also underscores why volatility is the lifeblood of crypto. Instead of being punished by sudden swings, projects like Zexpire aim to turn them into opportunities.

Launching at just $0.003, the ZX token gives early investors ground-floor entry before its planned listing price of $0.025 — nearly 800% upside if adoption accelerates.

Zexpire is a 0DTE DeFi protocol, simplifying options into a one-click daily prediction game. Rather than betting on price direction, users make a simple call: will Bitcoin stay within a set range, or break out of it? Losses are capped at the stake — with no leverage, no margin calls, and no liquidation risk.

Every play runs on ZX, creating built-in token demand from day one. Early buyers also unlock:

• APR staking rewards before TGE
• Cashback on gameplay
• Loyalty bonuses
• Exclusive airdrops and beta access

To reinforce long-term value, Zexpire has a deflationary model: 20% of platform fees are burned, buybacks support token stability, and multi-chain deployment (Base, Solana, TON, Tron) ensures broad accessibility.

With each funding stage raising the price, ZX at $0.003 won’t last, so early participants can get the maximum upside.

Buy ZX now for the steepest discount.

Fear and greed turns neutral

Sentiment has cooled in the wake of the volatility. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index slipped to 41 (“Neutral”), down from 39 (“Fear”) the previous day. While not yet in extreme territory, the shift reflects investors stepping back from aggressive risk-taking as they wait for signs of stability.

Conclusion

For now, Bitcoin’s consolidation around $113k shows resilience after a bruising wipeout, but with leverage still high and macro headwinds persisting, volatility is far from over. Platforms like Zexpire suggest that for savvy traders, there’s more than one way to survive crypto’s turbulence — investors can actually profit from it.
