As we move further from the weekend’s crypto bloodbath, we are getting a better sense of the scale of the event; the Bybit CEO said liquidations weren’t around $2 billion, but more like $10 billion! Nevertheless, yesterday saw a sizeable rebound across Bitcoin and altcoins, so there’s much to unpack. MicroStrategy finally put a halt on selling its stock for Bitcoin after 12 consecutive weeks of purchases, and Ethereum rallied as Eric Trump claimed it was a great time to buy ETH. Still, the Trump family crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, was reportedly trying to sell more of its WLFI token, which was swiftly denied.
