It will also be available for lending on JustLend. The integration will include core assets like USDT, TRX, wBTC, BTT, JST, SUN, WIN, and NFTs, with native sTRX staking rewards serving as the initial onboarding point. River also plans to roll out a Smart Vault and an institutional-grade Prime Vault, delivering a scalable yield solution for stablecoins and TRON’s core assets.

Jan. 22 — Per monitoring from HyperInsight (Telegram: @HyperInsight) and Coinglass, the crypto market saw significant volatility overnight and early this morning. Driven by a 2.3% short-term jump in BTC and a nearly 5% surge in ETH around 3 a.m. ET today, the largest short whale on Hyperliquid — dubbed the "Short Air Commander" (address 0xd83) — was hit with a massive liquidation totaling $199 million. Its largest single liquidation reached $40.22 million, marking the biggest single liquidation across the network in the past 24 hours. The address had previously loaded up on shorts across ETH, XRP, and other assets, with its total position once approaching $500 million.

**Bitcoin Liquidation Levels (Jan 22, Coinglass Data)** - If Bitcoin rallies above $91,000, total short liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $717 million. - Conversely, a drop below $89,000 would trigger $317 million in total long liquidations on mainstream CEXs. **BlockBeats Note** Liquidation charts do NOT show the exact number of contracts or precise value of liquidated positions. Instead, the bars reflect the **relative importance** of each liquidation cluster compared to nearby clusters—this is called "liquidation strength." In short, the chart indicates how sharply the underlying asset’s price will react at specific levels. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense price response driven by a liquidity cascade.
