Solana\u2019s SOL and XRP rose 7%, with all tokens in the top hundred by market cap in the green.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sui Network\u2019s SUI, UniSwap\u2019s UNI and Near Protocol\u2019s showed strength with gains of as much as 18%. Memecoin mog (MOG) rocketed 30%, continued its tendency to act as a beta bet to ETH\u2019s move.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly $530 million in shorts, or bets on lower prices, booked losses amid a general unwinding of leveraged bets. Data shows that most short liquidations took place on Bybit at $234 million, followed by Binance at $100 million and Gate at nearly $70 million.<\/p>\n<p>The largest single liquidation order happened on Binance, an ETH futures position that was worth over $4.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Liquidations occur when an exchange forcefully closes a trader\u2019s leveraged position owing to a partial or total loss of the trader\u2019s initial margin. It happens when a trader cannot meet the margin requirements for a leveraged position, that is, when they don&#8217;t have sufficient funds to keep the trade open.<\/p>\n<p>An uptick in crypto markes came as Trump said he planned to be \u201cvery nice\u201d to China in any trade talks and that tariffs will drop if the two countries can reach a deal \u2014 a sign that may temper an ongoing cautious sentiment among traders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFears of an escalating trade war have abated as traders largely see the U.S. and China coming to a trade agreement in the coming weeks,\u201d Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, told CoinDesk in a Telegram message. \u201cWhether or not this will be temporary remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what the last couple of weeks has shown us is that the likelihood of rate cuts and a depreciating U.S. dollar are high, which explains bitcoin&#8217;s surge. If the U.S. dollar is weakening, there aren&#8217;t many other currencies to turn to as many other countries may also depreciate their currencies. This could pave the way for bitcoin to become a major store of value,\u201d Mei added.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Futures bets against higher crypto prices lost over $500 million in the past 24 hours as a surge higher, buoyed by a possible cooldown of China tariffs by the U.S., led to the largest short liquidations since October.
