2 hours ago

February 12, 2025 — Per *The Street*, ripple effects from the October 11, 2025, crypto market chain reaction are still unfolding, and these impacts are now reshaping global billionaire rankings. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has dropped off Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index top 500, as sharp declines in digital asset prices and Coinbase’s stock hammer his wealth. His net worth has plummeted by over $100 billion from a peak of roughly $177 billion; Bloomberg now pegs it at ~$7.5 billion, pushing him out of the global top 500. The drop closely tracks Coinbase’s stock performance: As of press time, COIN shares have fallen ~64% from their July 18, 2025, peak of $419.

The "Buddy" is no longer bearish and has canceled all limit sell orders for ETH

On Feb 12, per HyperInsight monitoring: "Brother Ma" (Li Cheng Huang) has closed all limit ETH short positions. He now holds a long position of 560 ETH with 25x leverage, incurring a floating loss of $15k. ### Notes on U.S. language habits for crypto alerts: 1. **Conciseness**: Used "Feb" (common abbreviation), "$15k" (instead of "$15,000" for brevity), and active verbs ("closed," "holds"). 2. **Clarity**: Added parentheses to clarify the full name after the nickname ("Brother Ma" → "Brother Ma (Li Cheng Huang)"). 3. **Flow**: Split into short sentences for readability (key for real-time alerts). 4. **Natural phrasing**: Replaced "according to... monitoring" with "per... monitoring" (casual, industry-standard in U.S. crypto news). 5. **Leverage context**: Kept the 25x leverage detail front and center (critical for crypto traders in the U.S.).

JPMorgan Chase: Bullish on Cryptocurrency Market, Expects Explosive Growth by 2026

On February 12, TheStreet reported that the cryptocurrency market has yet to recover from the October 11 crash. The total market capitalization of digital assets has fallen from $3.1 trillion a month ago to $2.3 trillion currently. Despite broad bearish sentiment in the market following the crash, JPMorgan remains bullish on the crypto space for 2026. The bank recently noted that institutional inflows and regulatory clarity are expected to solidify gains in the digital asset market. In a report, the JPMorgan analyst team led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote: “We’re bullish on the 2026 crypto market—we expect further inflows into digital assets, but this round of growth will be driven more by institutional investors.” JPMorgan analysts currently peg Bitcoin’s production cost at roughly $77,000 per coin, which could form a new price equilibrium level after miner capitulation. If BTC trades below this threshold for an extended period, it may force some miners to exit the market.
