As of Feb. 3rd, Coinglass data shows: - If Bitcoin breaks above $80,000, total short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $786 million. - Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $77,000, total long liquidation intensity for these major CEXs will reach $877 million. **BlockBeats Note**: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts pending liquidation. Instead, the bars on these charts represent the significance of each liquidation cluster relative to its neighboring clusters—i.e., "intensity." In short, the chart signals how impactful reaching a specific price level will be: a taller "liquidation bar" means that price hitting that level will trigger a more intense response due to a liquidity cascade.

On February 3, the Financial Times reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies raised $4.29 billion in political donations for the midterm elections over the past year, setting a new record for a midterm election cycle. A substantial portion of this funding came from the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI) industries, reflecting strong capital bets on their policy direction. The Trump-allied super PAC "Make America Great Again" (Maga Inc) currently holds $304 million, exceeding the fund size of any PAC in any prior midterm election year. The report noted that the Trump administration’s pro-crypto stance—including regulatory relaxation, terminated investigations, and legislative support—has been a key driver of large donations. The largest disclosed single donation came from Crypto.com, with the exchange platform contributing $30 million to Maga Inc. A prior SEC investigation into the company during the Biden administration was settled in 2025. Vent

On February 3rd, Aave founder Stani Kulechov bought a five-story Victorian mansion in London’s Notting Hill for ￡22 million (roughly $30 million)—one of the priciest residential deals in London’s high-end market over the past year. The transaction closed in November last year, with the final price about ￡2 million below the agent’s prior asking guidance. The property offers panoramic views of Notting Hill. Kulechov has not commented on the deal. Against a backdrop of the UK Labour government hiking stamp duty and scrapping tax breaks for ultra-high-net-worth foreign residents, London’s luxury housing market remains under pressure. Transactions for homes priced above ￡5 million fell by roughly 40% year-over-year in December 2025. In this climate, the deal stands out as one of the few bright spots in an otherwise sluggish market.

February 3rd — Gold staged a strong rebound Tuesday after two straight days of sharp declines, on track for its biggest single-day gain since 2008. Silver rose in tandem, as precious metals launched a counterattack following their most intense two-day sell-off in decades. Analysts expect the current precious metals bull market to continue, with new all-time highs likely later this year. Capital.com Senior Market Analyst Kyle Rodda noted: “Given the somewhat irrational market performance in recent weeks, current prices have returned to a relatively reasonable range, basically matching levels seen in the first half of January.” Previously, Trump’s nomination of Wosh as the next Federal Reserve Chair triggered a sharp pullback in precious metals. Rodda added: “The market viewed Wosh as a relatively trustworthy candidate, boosting the dollar and to some extent popping the earlier large bubble in precious metals.”
