Bitcoin’s Price Dip and Market Impact
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, mirrored Bitcoin’s downfall, dropping 5.3% to a trading price around $3,090. Additionally, among the leading ten cryptocurrencies, Toncoin (TON) experienced the most substantial decline, plummeting 10.1% to a current price of $5.21.
Data from CoinGlass highlights the scale of the impact, revealing that, included in the total liquidations, over $52 million were specifically from Bitcoin long positions. Longs, or derivative contracts, are utilized by traders to speculate on the rising prices of assets. However, the liquidation indicates a mass closure of these positions, concluding a series of unsuccessful bets on the market’s direction.
ETFs and Market Movements
This downturn aligns with the stalling of inflows into BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, which had previously seen a record 71-day inflow streak. Notably, this ETF had ranked within the top ten for the longest daily inflow streaks among ETFs since 2004. Yet, following this extended period of growth, the ETF observed outflows amounting to $120.6 million after experiencing inflows consecutively for three days.
The broader ETF market is also seeing new developments, particularly in Hong Kong where spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs received official approval with a set trading start date of April 30. Market analysts suggest that these ETFs could potentially draw up to $25 billion into the market, especially if opened up to investors from mainland China.
