Bitplanet: a year after $19B liquidation, altcoin recovery remains uneven

  • —The $19 billion liquidation wave hit on Oct. 10, 2025, amid China tariff tensions
  • —Bitcoin's 1% bid depth rose to $11.7 million, up 30% since the start of the year
  • —Solana's 2% depth fell 29% to about $20 million; XRP held near $30 million
  • —Year to date ETH is down 17.9%, SOL 15.8% and XRP 27.8% despite $1.45 billion in ETF inflows
Why it matters: ETF inflows alone do not restore altcoin liquidity; sustained spot demand and order-book depth over two consecutive quarters will be the real test.
