If Ethereum drops below $3,000, the cumulative long liquidation on major CEXs will reach $1.01 billion
January 12: Per Coinglass data, if Ethereum (ETH) drops below $3,000, cumulative long liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $1.001 billion.
On the flip side, if ETH breaks above $3,300, cumulative short liquidations on these same CEXs will reach $638 million.
BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number or value of contracts at risk of liquidation. Instead, the bars reflect the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to its adjacent clusters—meaning "strength."
In short, these charts signal how sharply the price will react when hitting a specific level: a taller bar means a more intense response due to a liquidity cascade at that price point.

Vitalik: Ethereum itself must go through a "deprecation test," with the goal of achieving long-term self-sustainability
On January 12, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined in a new post that the Ethereum network must pass the **"Walkaway Test"** — meaning it can operate long-term, securely, and in a decentralized way even without ongoing core development or "supplier-side" maintenance.
Buterin noted Ethereum’s mission is to serve as infrastructure for trust-minimized applications across finance, governance, and other fields. This requires apps to act more like **"tools" than "services"**: once deployed, they should work reliably long-term without failing if their dev team stops maintenance, is attacked, or shifts to value extraction. To hit this, the underlying protocol can’t rely on constant upgrades to stay available.
He stressed Ethereum must reach a stage where *"even if it chooses protocol ossification, its core value proposition still holds."* This doesn’t mean halting upgrades — but ensuring future updates are **"icing on the cake" rather than essential for survival**.

"The 'ZEC Whale Short' Partially Takes Profit on MON Short, Cashing Out Nearly $1.47 Million"
On January 12, Hyperinsight monitoring data shows the whale address tagged "ZEC Largest Short" (0xd47...) partially closed its MON short position to lock in profits, cutting its MON short exposure by ~44.75 million tokens—valued at roughly $1.4686 million.
Following the move, the address’s remaining MON short position now stands at $4.4146 million. The partial closure yielded ~$621,200 in profits, a 42.21% return. Its average entry price for the position was $0.03, with a current liquidation price of $0.243.
This address is well-known for building a massive ZEC short position, initiating shorts when ZEC traded at $184. At one point, it faced an unrealized loss of $21 million but later turned that around for gains. Currently, it still holds large short positions on ETH and MON.
