Following Flash Crash, Where Do Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana Go Next? Smart Money is Fleeing to One Safe Haven Presale

2025/10/18 02:00

On Oct. 10, the crypto market experienced its worst crash in history after U.S. President Donald Trump announced fresh tariffs on China. Bitcoin (BTC) collapsed by nearly 15%, Ethereum tested the $3,500 level, while Solana found support near $175 after trading at $225 earlier in the day.

This violent shakeout was rightfully blamed on fresh geopolitical and trade concerns. The heavy selling wasn’t immune to crypto as equity markets plunged as well. In the aftermath, savvy investors are questioning how safe blue-chip cryptocurrencies are and rotating funds into overlooked crypto projects. 

One name benefiting from market-wide chaos is Digitap ($TAP), a fintech crypto project that offers stability and real-world utility in any market condition.

Inside The Oct. 10 Flash Crash — What Actually Happened

On Oct. 10, more than $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within hours, making it the largest single-day wipeout in crypto history. The Trump administration caught investors by surprise with a 100% tariff on Chinese goods in reaction to Beijing’s limits on rare-earth mineral exports and related technologies.

Technically speaking, this was a flash crash as prices collapsed so hard and so fast, with not a single bid in sight. Prices eventually rebounded after the freefall, and the market stabilized over the weekend as Trump looked to ease investor concerns.

However, the damage was done, with confidence rattled and volatility spiking to levels that haven’t been seen in recent memory, if ever. According to analysts quoted by Reuters, the crash was nine times worse than the February 2025 correction and 19 times bigger than the March 2020 COVID-19–induced crash.

Why Inflows Favor ETH While BTC Stalls Near $110K

The crypto market’s violent reaction to an external event has introduced systemic risks for crypto’s largest tokens. Bitcoin, in particular, was touted by many to be a flight-to-safety asset. But its heavy drop says otherwise.

Bitcoin found buyers near $105,000 but is now struggling to trade above $110,000. Data from SoSoValue shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs reported nearly $103 million in total daily net inflows on Tuesday, Oct. 14, but this was erased with a $104 million net outflow on Oct. 15.

On the other hand, spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $236.22 million on Tuesday and a $170 million inflow on Wednesday. The logical conclusion is that the collective action of large investors sees Ethereum as the superior asset for refuge compared to Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, Solana has struggled on multiple occasions to climb past the psychologically important $250 level over the past year. It has found support near $200, but the fact that investors had no interest in buying at $250, even during the peak of the bull run, signals that Solana needs time to recover investor trust.

Why Some Treated Digitap As A Safe Haven During Chaos

During the flash crash and ensuing aftermath, Digitap found itself in an interesting position: it became an unlikely haven. While publicly traded coins were tanking, Digitap’s presale momentum remained stable. Currently in its second round, Digitap’s native $TAP token is selling at $0.0194 and is currently 41% sold out. If momentum continues, a move to the third round at $0.0268 is imminent.

USE THE CODE “LIVEAPP30” FOR 30% OFF FIRST-TIME PURCHASES

Digitap is the world’s first “omni-bank,” which means it bridges crypto and fiat in one app. Users can send, receive, invest, save, and spend both fiat and crypto. Digitap’s Visa-branded card and banking features turn crypto into an everyday tool, not just a speculative asset.

In fact, Digitap gained recognition during the flash crash as one of the best ICO presales for when markets are chaotic. Users can store more than 100 cryptocurrencies in their Digitap wallet and quickly sell or swap them for a stablecoin or fiat currency. There is no need to withdraw the cash, as it can also be used on the Visa card for everyday spending.

Why Presale Structures Can Cushion Shocks For Buyers

The market crash was a stark reminder that even the largest cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are not invincible to sudden shocks. The aftermath of the plunge paints an even more uncertain outlook, as Ethereum ETF inflows are solidly in the green, suggesting its near-term outlook is better than Bitcoin’s.

Solana, on the other hand, has struggled even during the best of times, so its near-term outlook wasn’t that strong to begin with.

In a sense, Digitap benefited in two ways from the market chaos, which is why many consider it one of the best cryptos to invest in 2025. First, the presale structure acted as a volatility shield, as early investors are already up more than 30% in paper profits. 

Second, Digitap’s wide range of banking and finance tools can be the solution to chaos itself. When volatility hits hard and fast, investors want easy access to an app that safeguards their finances and offers peace of mind.

Despite the US Government Shutdown, the ETF Wave Continues! Numerous ETF Applications Submitted, Including Bitcoin and Solana (SOL)

The post Despite the US Government Shutdown, the ETF Wave Continues! Numerous ETF Applications Submitted, Including Bitcoin and Solana (SOL) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The two-week government shutdown in the US continues to impact cryptocurrencies. Altcoin ETFs like XRP, Solana (SOL), and Litecoin (LTC), which were expected to be approved back-to-back, have faced delays due to the government shutdown. Like many government agencies in the US, SEC employees have been placed on unpaid leave and continue to work with a limited staff. The SEC’s Trading and Markets Regulations have delayed the approval date for altcoin ETFs due to a provision in the SEC’s Trading and Markets Regulations that states, “During a government shutdown, the SEC will not be able to review pending applications, evaluate new or pending applications or registrations, issue interpretative recommendations, or issue no-action letters.” ETF approval decisions are not expected to be announced during the shutdown. However, the ETF market continues to be bustling with activity. Despite the ongoing government shutdown in the US, at least five new ETF applications have been filed with the SEC. Large asset managers are stepping up competition by launching a variety of products, including leveraged ETFs, staking ETFs, and yield strategy ETFs. At this point, VanEck filed S-1 documents with the SEC for its Lido Staking Ethereum (ETH) ETF. 21Shares filed for the HYPE 2x leveraged ETF. ARK Invest filed for three additional Bitcoin (BTC)-related ETFs. Volatility Shares filed for new 3x and 5x leveraged ETFs tied to major US stocks and virtual assets, while VanEck recently submitted an amendment for a Solana (SOL) staking ETF charging a 0.3% fee rate. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas commented on 21Shares’ HYPE 2x leveraged ETF: “This product is a very niche market, but it could reach multi-billion dollar scale in 3-4 years.” “Once the government shutdown ends, there will be a wave of approvals for altcoin ETFs,” commented Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store. *This is not…

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
