I remember how tense things felt just a few days ago when Bitcoin was slipping and timelines were full of fear again. That’s why seeing it climb back above $71K feels like a sudden shift in mood, almost like the market finally took a deep breath. But even with the price moving up, it doesn’t feel like full confidence has returned. There’s still hesitation in the air.
What stands out is how differently professional traders seem to be reacting. The price is recovering, yet the derivatives data tells a quieter story. Instead of rushing in with excitement, many experienced players are staying careful, almost like they’ve seen this kind of bounce before. It’s not panic, but it’s not celebration either. More like watchful patience.
That contrast is what makes this moment interesting. On the surface, $71K looks strong and gives people hope again. But underneath, there’s still doubt about whether this rally has real strength or if it’s just a temporary reaction after the sell-off. Markets have a way of pulling people back in just when they start feeling safe.
For anyone watching closely, it feels like a reminder of how emotional and unpredictable crypto can be. One move up can change the entire mood, but trust takes longer to rebuild. Right now, Bitcoin is rising, but the cautious tone from seasoned traders suggests that the story isn’t fully settled yet.

The sell button didn’t get tapped it got slammed.
Bitcoin slipping below $73,000 this week wasn’t just another red candle. It was a stress release. Over the last 12 trading days, spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen $2.9 billion in net outflows, lining up almost perfectly with Bitcoin’s rejection near $98,000 in mid-January. Since then, price is down roughly 26%, and the market has been busy flushing out leverage that had quietly piled up during the late-2025 optimism.
This move feels less like panic and more like a controlled purge.
Leverage gets wiped, not rotated
Data from CoinGlass shows that the average daily outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs has hovered around $243 million since Jan. 16. That period also coincides with more than $3.25 billion in long BTC futures liquidations, meaning anyone running leverage above roughly 4× didn’t survive the drop unless they added margin fast.
This isn’t long-term capital leaving forever. It’s fast money being forced out.
The October shadow still lingers
Some traders point back to the October 10, 2025 liquidation evente the infamous $19 billion cascade linked to technical failures at Binance. Delayed transfers and faulty data feeds created a feedback loop where liquidation engines kept firing even when bids disappeared.
Haseeb Qureshi of Dragonfly described it bluntly: liquidation systems did their job protecting exchanges but not the market.
Market makers were wiped. Liquidity vanished. And while Binance later paid out over $283 million in compensation, confidence takes longer to rebuild than balances.
Still, Qureshi’s view is important: the market wasn’t broken it was bruised. Crypto has always been a long series of bad moments followed by recovery.
Options markets aren’t buying the bottom
If spot flows show fear, options markets show skepticism.
On Deribit, the 30-day BTC options delta skew spiked to 13%, well above the neutral 6% zone. That means professional traders are paying up for downside protection. Translation: they don’t believe $72,100 is the final low at least not yet.
This hesitation is happening alongside weakness in tech stocks. A soft outlook from Advanced Micro Devices and broader AI competition fears involving Google have pushed the Nasdaq lower, dragging risk assets including Bitcoin with it.
Rumors add noise, not signal
Two stories briefly rattled nerves, but neither holds weight.
One was a recycled claim that a past $9 billion BTC sale by a Galaxy Digital client was tied to quantum computing fears. Galaxy research head Alex Thorn shut that down.
The other involved speculation around Binance solvency after a temporary withdrawal halt. Onchain data shows deposits remain stable no bank-run behavior.
Fear spreads faster than facts in moments like this.
What this moment actually is
This doesn’t look like structural collapse. It looks like a reset.
ETF outflows reflect capital stepping aside, not disappearing. Liquidations removed excess leverage. Options traders are cautious, not apocalyptic. And despite the noise, core infrastructure is holding.
Bitcoin isn’t being abandoned it’s being repriced under tighter conditions.
These phases are uncomfortable. They always are. But historically, this is how markets clear weak hands so stronger ones can eventually step back in.

In decentralized networks, participation usually spikes early and decays quietly.
Nodes show up for incentives. Builders arrive for grants. Users test features while rewards are high. Over time, attention moves on. What’s left behind is infrastructure that technically works but is thinner, more fragile, and less honest about its own health.
Most token models accidentally encourage this.
They reward presence, not responsibility. They pay for claiming participation, not for sustaining it. The network looks alive until the moment stress arrives and then you find out who actually stayed.
This is the problem Walrus designs WAL around.
WAL isn’t meant to maximize short-term activity. It’s meant to bind incentives to durability.
Decentralized storage is a long game. Data doesn’t matter the day it’s uploaded. It matters months later, years later when nodes have churned, when operators have left, when the system has been attacked, stressed, or forgotten. A network that only rewards early enthusiasm is almost guaranteed to fail that test.
WAL aligns participation around a different question:
Are you still here when the system needs you most?
The first alignment shift is that value accrues through continued reliability, not one-time contribution. WAL rewards are tied to behavior that persists proving availability, maintaining recoverability, staying accountable over time. Participation isn’t a moment. It’s a commitment that has to be renewed through action, not words.
That changes who shows up.
Short-term actors optimize for extraction. Long-term participants optimize for reputation, consistency, and survival. WAL nudges the network toward the latter by making it costly to disappear quietly and unprofitable to pretend reliability without backing it up.
Another alignment happens around fault tolerance.
In many networks, failure is socially negotiated. When something goes wrong, communities argue about whether it was “really” a failure. Incentives blur. Accountability dissolves. Tokens keep flowing anyway.
WAL removes ambiguity.
If data can’t be proven recoverable, participation loses value. If a node can’t demonstrate reliability, its economic standing degrades. This makes network health measurable instead of political. WAL doesn’t reward optimism it rewards evidence.
That’s critical for long-term participation, because systems don’t decay loudly. They decay silently. WAL is structured to surface that decay economically before users feel it operationally.
There’s also a subtle psychological alignment at work.
When participants know their rewards depend on future scrutiny, behavior changes. Shortcuts look less attractive. Corners don’t get cut as easily. WAL aligns incentives so that acting honestly today is still rational when tomorrow arrives.
This is what turns a network from experimental into dependable.
WAL doesn’t promise infinite participation. It filters for the right kind.
People and operators who are willing to stay through low attention cycles. Through boring months. Through periods where nothing exciting happens except the system quietly continuing to work.
The uncomfortable truth is this:
Decentralized infrastructure doesn’t survive because it’s exciting. It survives because enough people are locked into caring when excitement fades.
WAL aligns long-term network participation by making durability the thing that compounds. Not hype. Not volume. Not early arrival.
Just the unglamorous act of still being there proving, again and again, that the network can recover, respond, and remain honest under pressure.
That’s how participation stops being speculative.
And starts becoming infrastructure.

Most blockchains are built to forget.
They execute a transaction, record the outcome, and move on. Context is discarded. Intent expires. Memory is treated as an off-chain concern something applications are expected to reconstruct if they need it later.
That model worked when blockchains were message-passing systems for humans.
It breaks the moment systems start living on-chain.
AI agents, live worlds, consumer applications, and continuous automation don’t operate in isolated moments. They operate in sequences. What happened before shapes what should happen next. When infrastructure forgets too aggressively, applications are forced to fake continuity rebuilding context again and again, hoping nothing important was lost.
This is the gap Vanar is addressing, and where myNeutron becomes essential.
Persistent on-chain memory isn’t about storing more data. It’s about preserving meaning across time.
In legacy models, every interaction arrives as if it’s the first. Sessions reset. Permissions are reasserted. Logic assumes a clean slate even when the system itself is anything but clean. For long-running environments games, metaverse layers, AI-driven services this creates subtle instability. Systems behave correctly in isolation while feeling incoherent in sequence.
myNeutron challenges that assumption.
Instead of forcing applications to treat memory as something external and fragile, myNeutron allows continuity to exist at the infrastructure level. State doesn’t just update it persists. Decisions don’t float free of their history. Context survives long enough to remain defensible.
This matters because memory isn’t neutral.
When memory is short, systems compensate by adding friction: re-logins, re-signatures, re-checks. Those interruptions aren’t just UX artifacts they’re safety rails teams relied on to revalidate assumptions. Remove them without replacing memory, and systems drift.
Vanar doesn’t remove interruption blindly. It replaces interruption with persistence.
myNeutron allows sessions, identities, and environments to maintain a coherent thread without forcing constant resets. That coherence is what makes reasoning possible over time. AI agents don’t need to relearn the world every step. Live applications don’t need to guess what context still applies.
Persistent memory becomes the stabilizer.
The deeper implication is explainability.
When something goes wrong in a continuous system, the hardest question is rarely what happened. It’s why it made sense at the time. Without memory, explanations degrade into reconstruction and guesswork. With memory, systems can point to the context that justified an action even after the moment has passed.
That’s not an application feature. That’s infrastructure responsibility.
myNeutron doesn’t turn Vanar into a database. It turns it into an environment.
An environment remembers. It carries state forward. It allows actions to be interpreted as part of a story, not just a receipt.
The uncomfortable truth is this:
AI-native and consumer-scale systems don’t fail because they lack speed. They fail because they lose coherence.
Persistent on-chain memory isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about preventing systems from agreeing to things they can no longer explain.
Vanar, through myNeutron, is making a quiet bet: that the future of on-chain systems won’t be measured by how fast they forget, but by how long they can remain correct without interruption.
In a world where software no longer stops between actions, memory isn’t optional infrastructure.
It’s the thing that keeps the system honest.

Bitcoin’s inability to reclaim $70,000 is starting to feel heavier with each passing day. New year-to-date lows are no longer shocking they’re becoming routine. But beneath the price action, something more structural is happening. According to Cointelegraph, the past 30 days have seen $55 billion evaporate from Bitcoin futures open interest, marking one of the most aggressive deleveraging events of this cycle.
This isn’t panic selling in the traditional sense. It’s traders stepping away.
A leverage unwind, not a rush to short
Data from CryptoQuant shows that roughly 744,000 BTC worth of open positions were closed across major derivatives exchanges in just one month. That’s not capital rotating into shorts it’s leverage being shut down entirely.
The breakdown tells the story clearly. On Binance, net open interest dropped by 276,869 BTC. Bybit saw an even steeper decline of 330,828 BTC, while OKX lost another 136,732 BTC in open positions. When Bitcoin slipped below $75,000, leverage didn’t fight it exited.
That matters, because markets rarely bottom while leverage is still being actively unwound.
Sellers still control the tape
The futures cumulative volume delta (CVD) reinforces this tone. Over the past six months, Bitcoin’s derivatives CVD has fallen by nearly $40 billion, showing that market sell orders continue to dominate. On Binance alone, derivatives CVD sits close to -$38B, a clear sign that sellers have dictated momentum for months.
Some venues are stabilizing. Bybit’s CVD flattened after its December liquidation wave, and HTX’s selling pressure has cooled as price hovers near $74,000. But stabilization is not reversal it’s exhaustion without conviction.
Exchange inflows add quiet pressure
Spot behavior isn’t offering much relief yet. January saw ~756,000 BTC flow into exchanges, led by Binance and Coinbase. Even since early February, inflows have exceeded 137,000 BTC. That doesn’t mean everyone is rushing to sell but it does mean coins are being positioned to be sold.
Exchange reserves have already climbed from 2.718M BTC to 2.752M BTC since mid-January. Analysts warn that if reserves push beyond 2.76M BTC, near-term supply pressure could intensify. Historically, sustained reserve growth rarely coincides with immediate bottoms.
Why this doesn’t feel like “the bottom” yet
Several analysts agree on one uncomfortable truth: real bottoms take time.
Market analyst Scient argues that durable bottoms form over two to three months of consolidation, not in a single violent flush. That process hasn’t played out yet. Whether Bitcoin builds that base in the high-$60Ks or drifts toward the low-$50Ks remains unresolved.
Trader Mark Cullen sees a similar tension. In a broader macro stress scenario, he doesn’t rule out a move toward $50,000, even if short-term relief rallies push BTC back toward the $86K–$89K value area after liquidity sweeps.
So what’s next for BTC?
Right now, Bitcoin isn’t being rejected by belief it’s being weighed down by uncertainty. Leverage is leaving. Traders are cautious. Capital hasn’t disappeared, but it’s stopped pressing risk.
That’s not bullish. But it’s not the end either.
Markets usually don’t bottom when fear explodes.
They bottom when participation disappears.
And right now, Bitcoin is entering that quieter, more uncomfortable phase where patience matters more than prediction.
