  • According to Coinglass, over $36 million in crypto shorts have been liquidated in the past hour alone.

  • Bitcoin is now up 17% over the past seven days, while Ether (ETH) is up 13.5%.
  • The recent rally for both assets marks a quick return to form after the “sell the news” market dump which followed the approval of several U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs last month.
  • At the time, the asset rallied to $49,000 before sinking back under $40,000 in late January. However, slowing outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) coupled with steady and rising inflows to newer spot ETFs have helped drive day 1 ETF buyers back into the green.
