Bitcoin Spot ETF: SEC Mishap spúšťa likvidáciu kryptomien v hodnote 220 miliónov dolárov
On Tuesday, the crypto market was taken by storm when a tweet emerged from the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Americká komisia pre cenné papiere a burzu (SEC) saying all Spot Bitcoin ETF applications had been approved. This had been initially followed by a surge in price but this was short-lived as the price would crash shortly after. The reason for this was because Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commission, revealed that the tweet was fake and the regulator’s social media account had been compromised.
SEC Hack spustí likvidáciu 220 miliónov dolárov
In the wake of the wild Bitcoin price fluctuations that were triggered by the SEC’s hack, a large number of crypto traders found themselves with massive losses on their hands. According to data from CoinGlass, over $220 million have been liquidated in the last 24 hours, leading to the second-largest liquidation event so far in 2024.
The website also notes that over 70,000 traders were victims of this liquidation event as well. Also, given that the price of Bitcoin and other assets in the crypto market had seen price fluctuations in both directions, both long and short traders were affected.
Avšak vzhľadom na to, že prepad smerom k poklesu pretrváva už dlhšie, dlho obchodníci vyšli ako skupina s najväčším počtom likvidácií počas tohto obdobia. Z viac ako 220 miliónov USD zaznamenaných likvidácií tvorili dlhé obchody 60.47 % so 133.5 miliónmi USD, zatiaľ čo objem krátkych likvidácií vyšiel za rovnaké časové obdobie na 87.29 milióna USD.
Bitcoin saw the largest single liquidation order during this time as well which took place on the ByBit exchange. A single trade worth $6 million was liquidated across the BTCUSD trading pair, with total liquidations on the crypto exchange coming out to $36.66 million. This falls behind market leader Binance with $83.88 million and OKX with $73.97 million.
Komerčné Bitcoin ETF Is A Sell The News Event?
The debate of whether the Komerčné Bitcoin ETF approval has already been priced in and if an announcement will lead to a decline in price has been waxing stronger over the last few weeks. Experts have chimed in to give their thoughts on what will follow an approval.
Crypto analyst Andrew Kang believes that approval would lead to a scramble among applicants to grab as much as possible from the $10 billion to $20 billion expected to come from fees. As such, they will all be at the forefront of marketing to push their ETFs.
On the flip side, renowned economist, Peter Schiff, believes that a spot ETF would actually not be good for the asset. Apparently, the advent of a spot Bitcoin ETF would mean that there is no longer any good news to trigger a price rally. As such, it would turn into a ‘sell the news’ event.
Ak sa však výkonnosť z utorka dá očakávať, mohlo by to znamenať, že ETF je už ocenené vzhľadom na to, že došlo k poklesu ceny ešte predtým, ako SEC zamietla tweet z napadnutého účtu.
