Glonghui April 3｜According to data from Layoffs.fyi, the chart below lists the 15 technology companies with the most layoffs in 2025 to date (as of March 16, 2026). Overall, layoffs in the technology industry are becoming increasingly concentrated in a few major giants. Among them, Amazon tops the list with 30,184 disclosed layoffs, followed by Intel and Microsoft with 27,058 and 15,347 cases, respectively. These three technology companies together account for about 64% of the total layoffs on the list. Notably, since 2020, Amazon has disclosed around 58,000 layoffs. Although this figure already exceeds the total workforce of many companies, it represents less than 4% of Amazon's total of 1.56 million employees. Although the pace of layoffs has slowed from its previous peak, companies are still streamlining staff to balance profitability, slowing growth, and increased investments in artificial intelligence.

BlockBeats News, April 3rd, according to Coinglass and this morning, the XPL token price experienced intense volatility. From 1:00 to 5:00, XPL saw a straight-line surge of 42%, reaching a high of $0.167; however, starting at 5:10, the price plunged over 40% in less than 5 minutes, dropping below $0.12, erasing all the intraday gains. Prior to the price surge, five new addresses on Hyperliquid deposited funds simultaneously around 1:00 am, with each transaction exceeding $200,000, totaling around $1.292 million. They then heavily leveraged long XPL positions, seemingly coordinating buy orders on other exchanges to boost the price. During this time, the five addresses made substantial unrealized profits, more than doubling their initial investment. From 4:30 to 4:40, the five addresses withdrew all the released margin and unrealized profits, liquidating their positions, causing the liquidation price to surge close to the liquidation threshold. At 5:10, the five addresses were liquidated simultaneously at around $0.12971, triggering a sharp price drop, likely coordinating a sell-off with spot markets. The five addresses collectively made a profit of around $1.602 million. During the surge, several prominent short whales were precisely targeted for liquidation. Shorts from addresses (0xbe1), (0x51f), "Crude and Brent Oil Mainnet Bears" (0x985), (0x45d) were all liquidated during the upswing, resulting in a total closure of short positions exceeding $32.99 million.
