In less than half an hour, nearly $67 million worth of leveraged long positions were liquidated at the event of US President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 election. As per Coinglass, a cryptocurrency markets platform, a steep fall of 2.3 per cent of Bitcoin to dollar 65,880 was one of the trigger points that caused substantial liquidations between 5:30 pm and 6 pm UTC on July 21. However, the fast recovery of Bitcoin to $68,480 left traders exposed to short positions with leveraged positions worth approximately $34 million.
