Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) experienced steep declines recently, pushing the cryptocurrency market into a period of significant volatility. Prices fell below $88,000 for Bitcoin and past $2,900 on Binance for Ethereum within a 24-hour span, impacting various assets across the digital asset landscape. This decline has triggered widespread liquidations and withdrawals by institutional investors, highlighting the market’s vulnerability. High-leverage trading strategies have also taken significant hits, resulting in over $19 billion in forced liquidations, mainly affecting Bitcoin and Ethereum. 500,000 traders experienced these liquidations, particularly impacting Bitcoin and Ethereum. This volatility has also led to substantial withdrawals from U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs, worth over $1.22 billion. The absence of a direct response from Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) or Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin adds further complexity to the situation. Market analysts predict that this pattern may repeat in the near future, influencing long-term strategies and asset valuations.
