Alpaca Finance, once a cornerstone on the BNB Chain and an early leader in leveraged yield farming, will shut down operations by the end of 2025 due to an unsustainable business model amid a more competitive and capital-intensive DeFi landscape. The protocol said Monday that it will begin winding down all products, including its original yield farming platform, automated vaults, and decentralized perpetuals, over the next few months. Front-end access will remain available through December 31, 2025, to give users time to withdraw their assets. “This choice wasn’t made lightly,” the Alpaca team wrote. “But we believe it is the most responsible course of action to safeguard our community and ensure a graceful and secure wind-down.” Launched during decentralized finance's (DeFi) 2021 boom, Alpaca quickly rose to prominence on BNB Chain, offering leveraged yield farming strategies that allowed users to amplify returns by borrowing capital to farm liquidity pool (LP) tokens. At its peak, Alpaca held over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) and was one of the most-used protocols on the chain. Internally, Alpaca had been operating at a loss for over two years, according to the team, with revenue tied directly to protocol usage — a challenge compounded by the project’s fair launch structure with no VC backing or pre-mined tokens. The final blow came in late April, when Binance delisted ALPACA, the protocol’s native token. While the event triggered a brief 550% price rally due to short liquidations, including $55 million in forced closures in a single day, it also severely restricted liquidity and user access to the token. That, the team said, made it harder to pursue new initiatives or strategic mergers. “We explored M&A discussions with several projects, and some progressed meaningfully,” the team said. “But as the market turned downward again in early 2025, those deals fell through.” ALPACA, the project’s token, was last trading at approximately $0.08, down over 90% from its all-time high in 2021.

Have you ever seen a time when the liquidation amount of ETH is significantly higher than that of BTC? That's right now. Currently, ETH is the absolute market leader, so only analyzing BTC's impact on the market would be a mistake of empiricism (because previously BTC was the one leading market sentiment). Admittedly, the ETH ecosystem hasn't undergone fundamental changes, but the fuel for shorting is enormous.

In this market trend, as long as you firmly hold onto AI agents and the ETH ecosystem, you can capture the biggest alpha.
