Per Coinglass data as of February 15: Should Ethereum drop below $2,000, cumulative long liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) would hit $769 million. Conversely, a breakout above $2,200 would trigger $748 million in cumulative short liquidations on major CEXs. **BlockBeats Note**: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts at risk of liquidation. Instead, the bars reflect the relative significance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring clusters — meaning their "intensity." The chart thus signals how strongly asset prices may react when hitting specific levels: Higher bars indicate a more severe liquidity cascade reaction once prices reach those points.

On February 15, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the electric vehicle maker (TSLA.O) will cease offering its Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance system as a one-time purchase, transitioning fully to a monthly subscription model. The change takes effect immediately after February 14. Previously, Tesla offered FSD for a one-time $8,000 fee or a $99 monthly subscription. Musk did not specify the reason for the shift, though a portion of his compensation is tied to business growth. Under a shareholder-approved November 2023 compensation plan, Tesla must hit multiple milestones—including 10 million FSD subscription users—for Musk to earn additional stock awards. Separately, the one-time purchase deadline has been extended to March 31 for Australian customers. (FX Street)
