Good morning Asia, here's what's making news today: 1. Bitcoin dips below $25K as the market debates liquidity. 2. Shaurya Malwa writes that higher than usual market volatility is rocking both bulls and bears. thesamreynolds and shauryamalwa report.
Higher-than-usual market volatility affected bulls and bears alike as crypto futures racked up $300 million in liquidations over a 24-hour period on Wednesday.
Bitcoin and ether briefly inched above $26,000 and $1,770 respectively on Tuesday as investors brushed off the long-term effects of a regulatory clampdown on crypto-friendly banks and U.S. consumer price index data pointed to slowing inflation in the coming months. The volatility caused over $140 million in bitcoin futures and $80 million in ether futures to take on losses. Of this, 58% of futures losses came from shorts, or bets against price rises, while the remaining came from longs, or bets on price rises – meaning both short sellers and long traders were hit almost equally.
