  • As it typically happens when BTC initiates a sharp move south, most of the altcoin market followed with even more substantial losses. Ethereum plummeted by 12% from $2,040 all the way down to $1,800. XRP slumped by 18%, BNB by 23%, and so forth. 
  • Shortly after, though, all these coins bounced off and reclaimed most of the lost value. Some, such as Bitcoin, went even further and painted yet another all-time high just shy of $57,900.

  • While the total number of liquidated traders is north of 215,000, the largest single one of a whopping $24 million occurred on the leading crypto exchange Binance and involved its native cryptocurrency – BNB.
