The price of Bitcoin plunged to nearly $60,000 per coin on Tuesday afternoon, prompting liquidations for the positions of those betting on the price of the asset to go up.
CoinGlass data shows that in the past 24 hours, over $261 million in long positions for all cryptocurrencies have been liquidated. Including short positions, total liquidations stand at over $324 million.
In the past four hours alone, the figure stands at nearly $70 million—$24.4 million of which were positions in Bitcoin.
Currently, the price of Bitcoin sits at $60,309 per data from CoinGecko, though crypto exchange Coinbase shows that it dipped as low as $60,012 not long ago. Ethereum, meanwhile, is down to $2,985 as of this writing, down 6% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin's daily dip stands at just under 4% as of this writing.
In the world of derivatives, long positions are held by traders who put cash on betting that the price of an asset will go up in the future.
Bitcoin in March hit a new all-time high of nearly $74,000, according to CoinGecko data. It's previous all-time high set in 2021 was $69,044.
Part of the reason for the rise in price was that new investors could get exposure to the asset via spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in January.
Bitcoin has left a trail of $255 million worth of liquidations in its wake after it suddenly plummeted to $61,000 yesterday and took the rest of the market with it. The Bitcoin price has shown some signs of recovery since yesterday, hitting a peak of just under $63,000 early Thursday. BTC is currently changing hands for around $62,750, down only 0.1% in the past 24 hours and 11.1% lower than it was this time last week, per data from CoinGecko. The broader crypto market has moved on a similar tra...
But signs that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer, along with geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, are scaring investors away from risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
The new spot Bitcoin ETFs are also not as hot as they were following their launch and investors have been cashing out of the vehicles, helping push the price of the biggest digital coin down further.

Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) generates more revenue than all other spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds combined, despite charging fees that are up to seven times higher than its competitors. GBTC is still "making more $$$ than all of the other ETFs combined..." Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, stated on X on Sunday. "And it's not even close." The fund generates approximately $268.5 million in annual revenue, with a 1.5% expense ratio applied to $17.9 billion in assets under management...
It's been one year since Bitcoin had its quadrennial halving event, which usually sends the price soaring. But while it's true that Bitcoin rose to an all-time high in the months following the latest halving in April 2024, the percentage spike has not been nearly as sizable as in past cycles. Data provider Kaiko told Decrypt that though the biggest coin's price is indeed up, macroeconomic factors have hindered it from making the same kind of gains. In the report, Kaiko said that at recent level...
Another day, another crypto ETF filing. This time, a crypto asset manager is trying its luck with a fund that, if approved, would give investors exposure to Near Protocol. A Thursday filing in the State of Delaware shows that paperwork to launch a NEAR ETF has been filed by Bitwise. Filing with the State of Delaware is the first step in getting such a product approved. The asset manager still has to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to get the process officially moving. Near Pr...
