Bitcoin Plunge Causes $450M in Bullish Crypto Bets Liquidated

Crypto market capitalization dropped 5% on average as Middle East tensions flared up late Monday, denting growth in risk assets.

Futures tied to major tokens saw over $450 million in long liquidations in the past 24 hours as a bitcoin (BTC) plunge led to losses among major tokens, with some falling as much as 8%.

CoinGlass data shows that bitcoin traders betting on higher prices lost over $122 million, while bets on ether (ETH) lost nearly $100 million. Smaller alternative tokens (altcoins) recorded over $85 million in liquidations — the highest such figures since July — with memecoin pepe (PEPE) an unusually high $10 million in liquidations.

A liquidation occurs when an exchange forcefully closes a trader’s leveraged position due to the trader’s inability to meet the margin requirements. Large-scale liquidations can indicate market extremes, like panic selling or buying. A cascade of liquidations might suggest a market turning point, where a price reversal could be imminent due to an overreaction in market sentiment.

Global equities and risk assets such as bitcoin took a hit Tuesday as Iran launched missiles on key Israeli locations, with the latter threatening retaliation in the coming days. BTC slid to as low as $60,300 in its worst start to a historically bullish month late Tuesday, before recovering above $61,500 in Asian trading hours Wednesday.

The drop caused pain for futures traders, who took on their biggest losses since early August.

The data shows that nearly 86% of all futures bets were bullish. Traders were positioning for higher prices in the weeks ahead as October traditionally favors BTC, with only two negative months since 2013.

Market conditions in the past few weeks, including global monetary policies and U.S. political support, indicated a continued bullish trend, with some traders targeting $70,000 for BTC in the coming weeks.

Tokenization Allows More Efficient Collateral Transfers, Digital Asset, Euroclear and World Gold Council Found in Pilot Project

The initiative created digital versions of gilts, eurobonds and gold on the Canton Network to test complex financial transactions on blockchain rails.

Real-world asset tokenization company Digital Asset said Tuesday that it completed a pilot initiative to tokenize U.K. bonds (gilts), Eurobonds, and gold for financial transactions using the Canton Network protocol.

Major securities settlement provider Euroclear, the World Gold Council and global law firm Clifford Chance also participated in the process, alongside with other banks, investors, custodians and a central securities depository, the press release said.

Tokenization refers to the process of converting real-world assets (RWA) such as bonds, real estate, or commodities like gold into digital tokens on blockchain rails. These tokens represent ownership or control over the asset, allowing it to be traded more easily and quickly in a digital format, while still preserving the value of the underlying property. Reports by Boston Consulting Group and 21Shares forecast over $10 trillion of tokenized assets by the end of the decade in their optimistic scenarios, while McKinsey predicted $2 trillion by then in its base case.

In the case of this pilot, which ran between June and July, the project created digital representations of gilts, Eurobonds, and gold to be used as collateral with greater transparency, faster transfers and around-the-clock, near-instantaneous settlements between parties, without the delays associated with traditional financial rails.

“Our work with the pilot participants has demonstrated that tokenized assets can be used with immediate effect to meet intraday margin calls outside of normal settlement cycles, processing times, and time zones,” said Kelly Mathieson, chief business development officer at Digital Asset. It also demonstrated how the ledger can serve as the legal record and has validated the secured party’s control over the digital twin and real-world assets received as margin or collateral in the event of a counterparty default.”

Tokenized gold also offered notable benefits, said Mike Oswin, global head of market structure and innovation at the World Gold Council. By converting physical gold into “Standard Gold Units” (SGU), the pilot demonstrated how the precious metal can be used more seamlessly as collateral asset in financial transactions.

“This removes traditional barriers like storage limitations,” said Mike Oswin, global head of market structure and innovation at The World Gold Council.

Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $242.6M, Biggest Outflow Since Sept. 3

The outflows snapped an eight-day winning streak as BTC lost as much as 6% amid an acute heightening of tensions in the Middle East.

Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. saw outflows of $242.6 million on Tuesday in their worst day since Sept. 3, according to data from SoSoValue.

The outflows snapped an eight-day streak of inflows as BTC lost as much as 6% amid an acute sharpening of tensions in the Middle East that saw Iran fire around 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday. The strike followed Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah, designated a terror group by more than 60 jurisdictions including the U.S., European Union and Arab League, in Lebanon in recent weeks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate.

Bitcoin fell to a low of $60,300, erasing almost all of its gains since the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cut last month, signaling an inauspicious start to “Uptober,” the community’s affectionate name for the calendar month that has historically seen the highest gains for BTC. The largest cryptocurrency has lost 2.6% since the start of the month, CoinDesk Indices data show.

Ether ETFs also suffered on Tuesday with outflows of $48.5 million, the worst day since Sept. 23.

Grayscale’s High ETF Fee Keeps the Cash Flowing In Even as Investors Withdraw

Grayscale’s fee revenue from GBTC is nearly five times higher than BlackRock’s from IBIT even after a 50% decline in assets under management.

Grayscale’s bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) is reaping higher income than its rivals even as investors flee the vehicle for lower-cost options.

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), with almost $14 billion in assets under management (AUM), is earning about $205 million a year, CoinDesk calculations show. The figure is roughly five times larger than at rival BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), with $17 billion in AUM, which is raking in just $42.5 million.

The discrepancy is mainly down to fees, known as the expense ratio. Before the funds opened for trading on Jan. 11, operators jostling for customers started a price war that saw most settling on an expense ratio below 0.40%. GBTC, which existed as a trust before converting to an ETF, stood out, cutting the ratio just half a percentage point to 1.5%.

That compares with 0.20% at Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), the lowest among the five biggest issuers by assets under management. Ark 21 Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) went to 0.21% while IBIT and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) set it at 0.25%.

Even as investors have withdrawn funds in search of platforms with lower expense ratios, GBTC’s head start means the cash is still flowing in. In January, it had AUM of $29 billion, according to YCharts, a financial analysis platform, and roughly 600,000 bitcoin.

The figure’s shrunk to $13.65 billion, based on multiplying net assets value (NAV) per share of $49.12 by the 278 million shares outstanding. It now holds about 220,000 bitcoin. IBIT, which holds 366,000 bitcoin, has 642 million shares outstanding and a NAV per share value of $35.13, giving AUM of $17 billion.

Neither Grayscale nor BlackRock responded to an email requesting comment that was sent before U.S. business hours.

Bitcoin reclaimed $61,000 after dropping as low as $60,300 on Tuesday amid an acute sharpening of tensions in the Middle East. Iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles in retaliation for Israel’s recent attacks on Hezbollah, designated a terror group by more than 60 countries and organizations. Polymarket bettors are giving a 49% chance that Israel will retaliate against Iran by the end of the week. Bitcoin’s slide dented hopes of a rally to kick off October, a traditionally bullish month for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. BTC is currently over 4% lower in the last 24 hours, while the broader digital asset market has lost 6%, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index.

Some observers have noted the differing performances of bitcoin and gold as a measurement of the two assets’ respective maturities. Gold, traditionally seen as a risk-off asset, gained 0.8% in the aftermath of Iran’s attack on Israel while BTC lost 4%, despite often being referred to as a form of digital gold. “Gold is a much more mature asset, with a 5,000 year history as a store of value, so there’s not much room left for incremental network effects,” Presto Research said. “BTC [has] only a 15-year history. This means it’s in the early stages of mainstream adoption, and its narrative is still poorly understood.” At the time of writing, gold is 0.3% lower in the last 24 hours at $2,652.56 per ounce.

Crypto futures saw over $450 million in long liquidations in the past 24 hours as the bitcoin plunge led to losses among major tokens. CoinGlass data shows that bitcoin traders betting on higher prices lost more than $122 million, while bets on ether lost nearly $100 million. Smaller altcoins recorded over $85 million in liquidations – the most since July – with memecoin PEPE posting an unusually high $10 million. The data shows that nearly 86% of all futures bets were bullish. Traders were positioning for higher prices in the weeks ahead as October traditionally favors BTC, with negative returns only twice since 2013.

Short-Term Holders Send $3B in Bitcoin to Exchanges at a Loss as Mideast Tensions Rise

Geopolitical tensions triggered consecutive daily declines of almost 4% in bitcoin’s price.

In the past two days, Sept. 30-Oct. 1, bitcoin (BTC) registered consecutive declines of 3.7% as geopolitical tensions ramped up in the Middle East, culminating in Iran’s 200 ballistic- missile attack on Israel on Tuesday.

With the largest cryptocurrency little changed on Wednesday, this year marks the worst-ever start to an October, a month that’s historically provided positive returns.

One headwind comes from so-called short-term holders, which Glassnode defines as investors who have held bitcoin for less than 155 days. This is a group that tends to panic-sell when the BTC price drops below their cost basis. Glassnode data shows this cohort has bought roughly 100,000 bitcoin since Sept. 19, when bitcoin was trading at $62,000.

By Sept. 27, bitcoin had surged to above $66,000, and, as the chart shows, this group was buying aggressively as the price increased. However, they started dumping their holdings as the price started to fall.

In the past two days, short-term holders have sent roughly 64,000 bitcoin to exchanges, the equivalent of $4 billion. Of that, some $3 billion was sent at a loss, meaning it was sent when the price was lower than the entity’s average on-chain acquisition price.

This is the highest amount of loss sent to exchanges by the group since Aug. 5, during the yen carry trade unwind, which saw $2.5 billion of losses sent in one day.

Long-term holders, on the other hand, seem to be holding their nerve. As a group, they sent just 100 bitcoin at a loss to exchanges over the same time frame.

Franklin Templeton Adds Aptos Blockchain to Support Tokenized Money Market Fund

The $435 million fund is also available on Avalanche, Arbitrum, Stellar and Polygon.

Meta’nın geliştirdiği ve artık üretilmeyen Diem (eski adıyla Libra) blok zincirinden esinlenerek geliştirilen 1. Katman blok zinciri Aptos (APT), yatırımcıların Franklin Templeton’ın OnChain ABD Hükümet Para Piyasası Fonu (FOBXX) hisselerini alıp satabilecekleri en yeni ağ haline geldi.

Piyasadaki en büyük ikinci tokenize fon olan ve 435 milyon dolarlık piyasa değerine sahip olan fon, halihazırda Ethereum’da Arbitrum, Stellar ve Polygon’un yanı sıra Avalanche üzerinden de mevcut.

Franklin’in son eklemesi, Aptos’un, şirketin blok zinciriyle entegre kayıt tutma sistemi olan Benji platformu için varlık yöneticisinin titiz uygunluk standartlarını da karşılayan benzersiz özelliklerinden kaynaklanıyor, dedi Franklin Templeton’daki dijital varlıklar başkanı Roger Bayston. Bir Benji tokeni, fonun bir hissesini temsil ediyor.

Aptos, 2022 yılında piyasaya sürülen oldukça genç bir Layer 1 blok zinciridir. Daha hızlı ve daha korumalı işlemlere olanak sağladığını iddia ettiği Move programlama dilini kullanır.

Blockchain’in geliştiricisi olan Aptos Labs, uzun zamandır diğer 1. Katman blockchain’lerinde olduğu gibi, merkezi olmayan finans (DeFi) ile büyük, geleneksel kurumlar arasındaki boşluğu kapatmayı misyon edinmiştir.

Şirket, nisan ayında Microsoft, Brevan Howard ve Güney Koreli telekomünikasyon operatörü SK Telecom ile ortaklık kurarak kurumların merkezi olmayan finans alanında deney yapmasını kolaylaştırmaya başladı.

Aptos Vakfı Hibe ve Ekosistem Başkanı Bashar Lazaar, “Franklin Templeton’ın gerçek anlamda merkezi olmayan ve erişilebilir bir finansal gelecek adına yenilik yapma isteği ilham verici” dedi.

“Bu geleceğe ulaşmak için sadece TradFi ve DeFi dünyalarını değil, EVM ve EVM dışı ağları da birbirine bağlamamız gerekiyor. Benji Investments platformunu Aptos Network ile entegre etmek doğru yönde atılmış büyük bir adım ve onları Aptos ekosistemine davet etmeyi dört gözle bekliyoruz” dedi.

Christie’s to Offer Blockchain-Based Ownership Certificates for Photography Collection

Wednesday’s sale of “An Eye Towards the Real: Photographs from the Collection of Ambassador Trevor Traina,” in New York will see digital certificates issued for each of the 130 lots, which will be minted by Kresus on Base.

Christie’s is again experimenting with blockchain-based technology by issuing digital certificates of ownership for a photograph collection by Trevor Traina, the founder of wallet provider Kresus and former U.S. ambassador to Austria.

The auction house’s sale of “An Eye Towards the Real: Photographs from the Collection of Ambassador Trevor Traina,” on Wednesday at the Rockefeller Center in New York will issue digital certificates for each of the 130 lots. The ownership certificates will be minted by Kresus on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 blockchain developed by Coinbase (COIN).

“This pilot program marks a significant step forward in the art world’s adoption of blockchain technology, aligning physical works with digital certificates to ensure transparency and security for art collectors,” Christie’s and Kresus said in an emailed announcement on Wednesday.

Christie’s involvement in blockchain-based innovations goes back to 2021, when it auctioned digital artist Beeple’s “Everyday” collection for $69 million, at the time the most expensive non-fungible token (NFT) ever sold.

Bitwise Makes XRP ETF Plans Official With SEC Filing

The asset manager’s S-1 comes a day after it registered a trust entity with the state of Delaware.

Bitwise, dünyanın en büyük kripto paraları arasında yer alan Ripple ile ilişkili token olan XRP’ye (XRP) bağlı bir borsa yatırım fonu başlatmak için büyük bir adım attı.

Varlık yöneticisi Çarşamba günü, yeni bir menkul kıymet ihraç etmek ve halka açık bir borsada listelenmek isteyen şirketler için bir gereklilik olan S-1 formunu ABD Menkul Kıymetler ve Borsa Komisyonu’na sundu .

“Bugün bir Bitwise XRP ETP için S-1 başvurusunda bulunduk!” diye yazdı Bitwise CEO’su Hunter Horsley, X’te yazdığı bir gönderide. “ XRP, on yıldan uzun bir süredir birçok yatırımcının maruz kalmak istediği kalıcı bir kripto varlık olmuştur.”

Bu hamle, Bitwise’ın Delaware eyaletinde “XRP ETF” adlı bir güven kuruluşu kaydettirmesinden bir gün sonra geldi; birçok şirket tüzel kişiliklerini bu eyalette listeliyor ve kripto ETF ihraççıları, Delaware başvuruları aracılığıyla planlarını birden fazla kez bildirdi.

CoinDesk verilerine göre XRP, 33 milyar dolarlık piyasa değeriyle yedinci en büyük kripto para birimidir . Daha büyük rakipleri olan bitcoin (BTC) ve Ethereum’un ether’i (ETH), bu yılın başından beri yatırımcılara geleneksel finans alanında oldukça popüler bir ürün türü olan ETF olarak sunulmaktadır.

S-1 başvurusunun sunulması bir fonun tanıtımında ilk adım olsa da, yatırım fonunun listelenmesini isteyen borsada gerekli kural değişikliğini işaret etmek için gereken 19b-4 adı verilen başka bir başvurunun ardından sunulmadığı takdirde belgenin temelde hiçbir anlamı yoktur.

SEC’in başvuruyu onaylama veya reddetme kararını katı bir zaman çizelgesine bağlayan 19b-4’ün aksine, düzenleyicinin S-1’e yanıt verme yükümlülüğü bulunmuyor; bu da Bitwise’ın onay almasının yıllar alabileceği anlamına geliyor.

Örneğin VanEck, 2021’de bir ether ETF’si başlatmak için S-1 başvurusunda bulundu , ancak fon üç yıl sonra, Temmuz 2024’e kadar piyasaya sürülmedi .

Ancak Bitwise’ın XRP’yi takip eden bir fon oluşturma çabası “son derece dikkat çekici” dedi sektör uzmanlarından biri ve ETF Store başkanı Nate Geraci Salı günkü dosyaya yanıt olarak.

“Bitwise, duvara bir şeyler fırlatmayan, son derece güvenilir bir kripto-yerel fon firmasıdır” diye ekledi.

U.S. Election Betting: Court Ends Pause on Kalshi’s Congressional Contracts

The CFTC “has failed to demonstrate that it or the public will suffer irreparable injury absent a stay pending appeal,” an appeals court said, clearing the prediction market to resume listing the contracts.

With a month to go before the U.S. election, prediction market Kalshi just got cleared to resume listing its contracts on which party will control each house of Congress.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia denied a motion by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to halt the contracts pending the agency’s appeal of the case it lost to Kalshi in a lower court last month.

“The Commission has failed to demonstrate that it or the public will suffer irreparable injury absent a stay pending appeal, and therefore its motion for a stay is denied without prejudice to renewal should substantiating evidence arise,” wrote Circuit Judge Patricia Millett. “The administrative stay is hereby dissolved.”

Following its long-sought victory in the lower court, Kalshi listed the contracts on Sept. 13. They traded for only a few hours before the appeals court granted an administrative stay, which it lifted Tuesday.

Kalshi, the sole U.S.-regulated prediction market, sued the CFTC last year after the agency denied the exchange’s application to list election contracts, on the grounds that they constituted gaming and would be contrary to the public interest.

While it’s been fighting the agency in court, the New York-based company, which settles bets in dollars, has watched crypto-powered rival Polymarket, which is barred from doing business in the U.S., nevertheless rack up record volumes during this election year. Over $1 billion alone has been staked on Polymarket’s contract on who will win the presidency.

A Kalshi spokesperson told CoinDesk the company did not yet have a timetable for resuming listing the contracts, but that it would “very soon.”
