People use "coins" and "tokens" like they mean the same thing — but the difference matters.

A coin has its own blockchain. Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB — each one powers the network it runs on. The coin is native to that chain.

A token is built on top of an existing blockchain. It doesn't need its own network and borrows the infrastructure. Most DeFi protocols, NFT projects, and Web3 apps issue tokens this way, typically on Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Solana.

Why does it matter? Because when you're evaluating a project, understanding whether it's a coin or a token tells you something about its architecture, its dependencies, and how it actually works under the hood.

Last week, $BTC dropped below $60K on a wave of long liquidations, then reversed to $63,800, wiping out everyone who had rushed to short near the bottom. Over $241M in total short positions were aggressively flushed out across the crypto market in a single window.

Here's the mechanics behind what happened.

When you short crypto with leverage, you deposit margin as collateral. If price moves up instead of down, your losses grow until they exceed your margin, at which point the exchange automatically closes your position. That's a short liquidation. At 10x leverage, a price increase of just 8–10% can trigger it. You don't get to react.

The cascade forms when thousands of traders short the same level. Each forced close places a buy order that pushes price higher, which hits the next cluster of shorts, which generates more buy orders, which pushes price higher still. In crypto, this can unfold in minutes.

Understanding where liquidation clusters sit and how cascades form is an essential part of managing risk in crypto derivatives.

• Orders above $350 → 0.1% spread
