Crypto’s total market cap shot past $3 trillion for a bit, mostly thanks to Bitcoin flirting with $86K and altcoins going wild. Perpetual open interest almost hit $160 billion that’s the highest we’ve seen since October 2025. Just on Monday, $920 million in shorts got wiped out. There’s a lot of leverage piling up really quickly. That’s exciting, but it can flip things upside down just as fast.

Bitcoin’s still the anchor. Everything else is just chasing the hype and momentum, especially the smaller coins.

When rallies hit this hard, crypto infrastructure gets stress-tested in real time. I’m curious when leverage drives wild swings, does confidential compliance actually hold up, or does the standard EVM transparency handle it better? What do you think?
