What to know:
- Dogecoin experienced a 50% flash crash, dropping from $0.22 to $0.11 before recovering to the $0.19–$0.20 range.

Dogecoin collapsed 50% late Friday in a rare flash crash that saw price plunge from $0.22 to $0.11 within minutes before rebounding to the $0.19–$0.20 zone.
What to Know
• DOGE dropped from $0.22 to $0.11 at 21:00 UTC on Oct 10 — a 50% flash crash followed by recovery to $0.19–$0.20.
• Total intraday range = $0.14 (≈57% volatility), with 4.6 billion tokens traded versus 1.5 billion daily average.
• Trump administration’s 100% tariff announcement on Chinese imports triggered broader crypto risk-off.
• Late-session trading showed whales re-accumulating; exchange outflows topped $23 million and 2 billion DOGE were added to corporate wallets.
• 21Shares launched its institutional DOGE ETF (TDOG), offering the first regulated exposure to the asset.
News Background
The move came hours after President Trump’s tariff escalation sparked a cross-market selloff, hitting equities and digital assets alike. DOGE briefly traded as low as $0.11 on Bitfinex before stabilizing above $0.19 as liquidity desks intervened. Market chatter tied the collapse to leveraged liquidations and automated cross-venue arb failures rather than fundamental deterioration. Institutional demand resurfaced around $0.19, aided by ETF flows and whale bids rebuilding long exposure.
Price Action Summary
• Flash crash at 21:00 UTC: DOGE $0.22 → $0.11 (-50%) on 4.6 billion volume.
• Recovery to $0.19–$0.20 within hours as whales absorbed supply.
• Follow-through selling seen at 11:18 UTC Oct 11 ($0.1935 → $0.1916, -4%), volume 32 million.
• Session range of $0.14 (57%) marks year-high volatility for DOGE.
• Final hour consolidation near $0.193 signals cool-down but no trend reversal yet.
Technical Analysis
• Support – Formed at $0.19–$0.20 as institutional flows absorbed panic selling.
• Resistance – Immediate barrier at $0.22 pre-crash high; above that, next targets $0.25 and $0.30.
• Volume – Peak 4.6 billion vs 30-day average 2.0 billion; capitulation-grade turnover.
• Pattern – Double-bottom near $0.19 may mark accumulation zone.
• Momentum – Oversold RSI and expanding Bollinger bands suggest short-term mean reversion.
What Traders Are Watching
• Will $0.19 hold as a reliable support floor or invite another liquidation wave?
• Can ETF flows and institutional accumulation offset broader macro risk?
• Whales adding ≈2 billion DOGE — signal of value buying or exit liquidity trap?
• Volatility regimes post-tariff shock — does DOGE return to 0.25–0.30 range or languish below 0.20?
• Confirmation of triangle rebuild above $0.22 would invalidate bearish structure.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
