Bitcoin rebounded to over $43,000 after BlackRock ETF update

The value of Bitcoin surged past the $43,000 mark today, after the market dropped to nearly $41,000. The recovery was fueled by asset management giant BlackRock’s move to align its exchange-traded fund (ETF) offering with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) standards. The introduction of the IBIT ticker for the proposed ETF, which allows cash-based trading of shares, has been well received by investors.

The cryptocurrency’s recovery has led to significant market liquidation, in which positions totaling around $206 million were closed across various trading platforms. This affected more than 81,000 traders, with Bitcoin-specific positions accounting for $68 million in liquidations. Notably, users on the Binance platform bore the brunt of these losses, which included a Bitcoin buy order worth $8.82 million.

Analysts point to the falling Liquidation Sensitivity Index and Bitcoin’s prominence as a prominent asset class as indicators of this maturity. Leading cryptocurrencies have shown resilience, signaling a strong recovery and investor confidence in the digital asset sector.
