The crypto market continues to struggle today, with Bitcoin and Ethereum dropping by 3.6% and 3.23%, respectively, despite a rebound in other risk assets like stocks.
The decline is at least partly linked to the uncertain future of Silvergate Capital Corporation, whose share price plummeted 49% after delaying its annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, prompting major crypto firms to sever ties with the bank.
As a result, over $235 million in liquidations were triggered in the past 24 hours, with Binance and OKX experiencing the most liquidations.
Bitcoin has seen a drop to around $22,356 today as of writing, while Ethereum has fallen to $1,568. The decline also impacted other digital currencies, such as Dogecoin, which slipped by 4.45%, Cardano, which is down by 1.75%, and XRP, which is down 2.22%.
According to Coinglass data, the dip in crypto prices resulted in liquidations of $235.41 million over the past 24 hours. Most liquidations were triggered by sharp price dips, with Binance and OKX experiencing the most liquidations at over $85.16 million and $75.22 million, respectively.
The cryptocurrency-focused bank, Silvergate, faces potential bankruptcy and an inability to repay its debts, prompting Coinbase, Circle, Paxos, and others to sever all ties with the bank.
