These traders saw a liquidation amount worth $23 million, with long traders scoring $7.21 million in liquidation. Solana has also recorded visible liquidation. Some altcoins like BOME, 1000PEPE and REEF have had it worse than Solana over a 24-hour period.With a total of $6.48 million in liquidation, Solana has also registered a negative trend for its short traders.Ethereum and Solana’s prices have soared by 2.98% and 1.14% to $2,616 and $155, respectively.

This early success reflects growing interest in platforms that offer access to a diverse range of assets, including cryptocurrencies, equities, and real-world assets (RWA), under a unified trading system.Innovative Multi-Asset Platform Meeting Market DemandDespite the entry of financial giants like Blackrock (NYSE:BLK) and Morgan Stanley into the decentralized world, there is still a lack of a unified platform that integrates conventional assets like equities, stocks, and bonds with decentralized assets like cryptocurrencies.

This innovative solution makes it possible for traders to access a wide variety of assets under a single platform with minimal trading fees.

    Bitcoin Market Cap to Reach $50 Trillion: Blackrock CEO

    He has a clear vision: Bitcoin will continue to grow much like gold as a result of more international discussions about its place in institutional portfolios and liquidity. Fink says the emergence of digital assets like Bitcoin makes him think of the early days of the mortgage market, which is currently worth about $11 trillion. He emphasized that although Bitcoin’s growth may begin slowly, similar to the mortgage market, it may eventually see widespread adoption with improved data analytics and transparency. The largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock has already made waves in the cryptocurrency space by demonstrating its dedication to the digital gold by applying for a spot Bitcoin ETF. This support indicates Fink’s faith in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. It is interesting to note that Fink does not believe that regulation or even the White House plays a significant role in determining the success of Bitcoin. Rather, he thinks transparency and liquidity hold the key.According to his theory, the global acceptance of Bitcoin will grow as long as data-driven transparency rises. Fink’s remarks also allude to Ethereum’s future by highlighting the blockchain’s expanding function and room for growth. The entire cryptocurrency market may experience previously unheard-of growth if greater acceptance is fostered and improved analytics are used. Despite Fink’s optimistic assessment, it is crucial to keep in mind that BlackRock has a stake in the expansion of Bitcoin. Due to BlackRock’s substantial Bitcoin holdings, demand may be further stimulated by its ETF. In any event, the CEO’s remarks have fueled the flames, leading many to question whether Bitcoin can actually match the $50 trillion of the U.S. housing market going forward.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Ripple challenges industry giants with new stablecoin

    The venture marks a major milestone for Ripple, coming more than a year after a landmark win in a case against the Securities and Exchange Commission last year. However, it will face the uphill task of elbowing into a concentrated market where the two biggest players – Tether and USD Coin (USDC) – account for nearly 90% of the total market capitalization, according to data from CoinGecko.The stablecoin, RLUSD, will be available globally on a slew of platforms including Uphold, Bitstamp, Bitso, MoonPay, Independent Reserve, CoinMENA and Bullish, Ripple said.Stablecoins are digital tokens designed to keep a constant value. They are backed by traditional currencies such as the U.S. dollar or euro.They can be more suitable for payments and for converting crypto tokens into traditional currencies as they are shielded from the wild price fluctuations seen in bitcoin and ether. Each RLUSD token is 100% backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. government bonds and cash equivalents, Ripple said.The company has appointed Sheila Bair, former chair of U.S. banking regulator Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, on the advisory board of RLUSD. Previously, Bair was also the chair of the board at government-backed mortgage finance company Fannie Mae and the assistant secretary for financial institutions at the U.S. Treasury Department.The board will include Ripple co-founder and executive chair Chris Larsen, along with David Puth, former CEO of CENTRE Consortium. CENTRE, which previously oversaw USDC, was a joint venture between crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and stablecoin network Circle. It was shut down last year, with Circle taking full control over the issuance and governance of USDC. More

    Bitcoin price today: edges higher to $65.7k on Harris pledge, Mt Gox cheer

    The world’s largest cryptocurrency traded slightly above the $50,000 to $65,000 trading range seen through most of the year. But it did come off highs hit over the weekend. Bitcoin rose 1.2% to $65,749.0 by 08:32 ET (12:32 GMT). Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday pledged to support a regulatory framework for crypto, including allowing black men easier access to the industry. But the details of her planned framework were not immediately clear.Still, Harris’ pledge marked one of her first mentions of crypto policy in recent campaigning efforts, and sparked some hopes that she will not extend the Biden Administration’s crackdown against the industry.Harris is set for a tight presidential race against Republican nominee Donald Trump, with roughly three weeks left to the ballot. Trump has so far maintained a largely pro-crypto stance, and even as several crypto-related business ventures, of which World Liberty Financial is set to launch next week. Harris’ pledge also helped traders look past concerns over more regulatory moves against crypto, after the Securities and Exchange Commission sued a major crypto market maker last week.Bitcoin clocked a weekend rally after the trustees of defunct crypto exchange Mt Gox postponed plans to return stolen Bitcoins to creditors by a year. The defunct exchange, which reportedly held nearly $10 billion worth of tokens, had begun returning tokens to creditors in July. The exchange signaled last week that it will conclude token distributions only by end-October 2025. Mt Gox’s token distributions had initially sparked steep losses in Bitcoin, given that the distributions entailed increased Bitcoin supplies and more selling pressure on prices.But a staggered distribution presents less immediate selling pressure on Bitcoin. Broader cryptocurrency tracked gains in Bitcoin. World no. 2 crypto Ether rose 2.1% to $2,593.37SOL, XRP and ADA each rose less than 1%, while MATIC marginally fell. Among meme tokens, DOGE added 0.8%But despite recent gains, most crypto tokens were nursing losses in the past two weeks, amid a dearth of any major positive cues for the industry. Bitcoin is showing signs of upward momentum that could drive it toward $73,800 before the U.S. presidential election, Standard Chartered analysts said in a recent note. The bank attributes the potential price surge to several factors, including a steepening U.S. Treasury yield curve, growing interest in spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, and increasing chances of Donald Trump winning the upcoming election.”For bitcoin the combined factors mean a bleed up towards the all-time high of $73,800 looks likely pre-election,” analysts wrote in a note seen by CoinDesk. They pointed out that bitcoin and other digital assets have “finally started to rise” following the steepening of the 2s10s yield curve, which reflects the gap between 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields. This shift, spurred by stronger-than-expected U.S. CPI data released on Thursday, signals heightened market volatility and the potential for further interest rate hikes—factors that often increase demand for assets like bitcoin.Ambar Warrick contributed to this report.  More
