PANews reported on October 13th that Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted on the X platform, stating that the past few days have been completely out of control, with some events being absurd and others understandable. The industry has been hit by the largest liquidation event in history, triggering a market crash. Many people were forced to liquidate their positions, and users are questioning issues such as automatic liquidation (ADL), negative equity, and compensation. He stated that he always provides thorough answers to all questions, encourages questions, and is responsible to users. Ferrante pointed out two recent waves of FUD: one was the issue of approximately 40 users depositing funds without settling their negative equity. While this issue is real and easily resolvable, it has been misinterpreted and disseminated; the other was the widespread dissemination of inappropriate posts from Backpack's Chinese account, X, which is operated by local personnel and does not represent the company's position. He acknowledged that the industry has exposed serious structural flaws in the market. Backpack's biggest problem is a lack of liquidity, and its weakness has always been the lack of its own in-house market maker. While all exchanges require forced liquidation and automatic liquidation mechanisms, Backpack should also minimize the occurrence of such incidents. There are various solutions to this problem, including circuit breakers and vaults. Ferrante emphasized that exchanges, as critical systems in the cryptocurrency space, deserve scrutiny, and that FUD can be an opportunity to reveal weaknesses as well as strengths.PANews reported on October 13th that Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted on the X platform, stating that the past few days have been completely out of control, with some events being absurd and others understandable.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB.

This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions.

Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…
