💰 BlockFi: Up To $250 Bitcoin Bonus: https://blockfi.com/cryptonewsalerts
Bitcoin dumped 17% in the past 24 hours liquidating $5.64 billion in extended BTC losses, however, Wall Street veteran and host of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser remains optimistically bullish sharing the following on Crypto twitter:
”Bitcoin has been rising 200% per annum for 10 years during a time of historic low inflation-expectation (see chart).
We are now heading into a crushing inflationary period that will super charge BTC’s price to the stratosphere.
Incredibly bullish for Bitcoin. The BTC super cycle is just beginning!”
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) plummeted by more than 17% in the last 24 hours as the futures market saw mass liquidations across the board.
Liquidations occur when leveraged futures positions fall to a certain threshold. For example, a position using 10x leverage would get liquidated or turn worthless if the price of BTC drops by 5%.
What triggered the mass Bitcoin liquidation fest?
If the Bitcoin futures market is highly overleveraged and overcrowded, a minor price movement can trigger mass liquidations.
According to analysts at Santiment, a data analytics firm, an address was responsible for the second-largest Bitcoin transaction of the year, as Cointelegraph reported.
More than 2,700 BTC were transferred right before the drop, which were bigger than the 2,000 BTC inflow seen before the March 2020 crash when Bitcoin dropped below $4,000. The analysts said:
“As we noted yesterday, there was an 11x exchange inflow spike that initiated #Bitcoin’s price correction from its $58.3k #ATH. Further data combing revealed that an address was responsible for the 2nd largest $BTC transaction of the year, an import of 2,700 tokens to the wallet before a quick sell-off. This same address also made a 2,000 $BTC import last March right as the Black Thursday correction took place. In total, it’s made 73 transactions in its one-year existence, for a total of 91,935 $BTC imported, with all tokens moving away within minutes after arrival.”
It is a possibility that a major sell-off in the spot market triggered the futures market to see intense selling pressure from many long positions getting liquidated.
When Bitcoin initially began to correct on Feb. 22, the futures funding rate of the dominant cryptocurrency was hovering at around 0.15% even as it continued to drop.

North American Bitcoin ETF Erupts, Analyst Says It Could Soon Shatter $1 Billion in Assets Under Management
A Bloomberg Intelligence analyst is estimating that the first North American Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) is on track to reach $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) in the coming days.
In a new tweet, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas predicts that the Purpose Bitcoin ETF, which trades under the BTCC ticker on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), could soon hold more than double its current AUM.
“Canada Bitcoin ETF BTCC traded $350m (CAD+USD) today, a 40% jump from yesterday (defying typical Day Two drop-off) and 3x more than any other ETF (unreal). Proportionally speaking, this is equivalent to about $5 billion in volume in the US (or about 7x more than GBTC). Two-day AUM is estimated at $330m.

Sec Treasury Janet Yellen states: “Bitcoin is extremely inefficient.” Give me a break. Does she think printing trillions of fake dollars is efficient? Does she not know the more fake dollars she prints the more efficient and valuable Bitcoin becomes? God bless her.
