Rapid fluctuations in the market have caused significant losses. Bitcoin’s price plummeted from $69,450 to $65,970 in less than 30 minutes, resulting in a loss of 5%.

This sudden drop triggered the liquidation of over $165 million for leveraged traders, especially affecting Bitcoin and Ethereum holders, with total liquidations exceeding $90 million la. At the same time, Dogecoin and Solana traders also faced millions of dollars in losses, demonstrating the widespread impact of Bitcoin’s price fluctuations on the market.

Along with the Bitcoin blitz, cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen significant financial fluctuations, with net inflows reaching $86 million. While BlackRock’s ETF recorded the highest net capital inflows, Grayscale’s GBTC faced significant capital outflows, demonstrating investor sentiment at this time.

The temporary cause of this instability for Tether remains unclear, with speculation surrounding errors in data tracking or sudden shifts in the market.
