Coinglass data shows that in the same timeframe, Bitcoin experienced $100 million worth of liquidations, majorly shorts accounting for $70 million.
Simultaneously, the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) inflows marked their third-best performance day, underlining the growing interest of institutional investors in this digital asset. A noteworthy mention is BlackRock, which recorded a record-breaking single-day performance with net inflows of $520 million.
The day further witnessed the largest Bitcoin withdrawal from Bitfinex since 2021, exceeding $240 million. This substantial offloading, estimated to be the equivalent of 5,000 Bitcoins, was primarily attributed to large whale activities.
