  • The liquidation wave affected 32,000 traders, with the single largest liquidation order occurring on Binance at a size of $5.6 million. 
  • Bitcoin’s rally following Coinbase’s legal challenge from the SEC stands in stark contrast to its descent following the SEC’s Binance lawsuit on Monday. 
  • On-chain data from Blockware shows that small BTC addresses (<1 BTC) accumulated 2,545 BTC on Monday, meaning some investors may have bought the dip. 
  • By comparison, BNB and ADA posted relatively modest gains – two cryptos that were directly targeted in the Binance and Coinbase lawsuits respectively.
