Bitcoin Explodes to $26,000, Crypto Market Surge Triggers $320,000,000 in Liquidations

Bitcoin’s remarkable rise amid the backdrop of failing American banks continues, with the top cryptocurrency now shattering the $26,000 level.

The rapid rise of BTC triggered $320 million in liquidations in the last 24-hours, as traders who bet the crypto markets would drop race to cover their positions.

Just five days ago, BTC hit a low of $19,662 amid the failure of Silvergate, a crypto-friendly bank that cited pressure from regulators as a key reason for its collapse.

Flash-forward to today – where it’s now clear that America’s regional banking system itself has issues, with the sudden closure of Silicon Valley Bank reverberating around the world.

SVB failed after revealing it lost $1.8 billion from selling mainly US bonds whose value tanked due to the Fed’s repeated rate hikes.

The news triggered a run on the bank and placed a spotlight on the very reason Bitcoin was created – to offer people around the world an alternative to the banking system.

Bitcoin is an open network that allows anyone to join and validate transactions. It offers people a way to directly and instantly send their capital anywhere in the world in the form of the digital asset BTC, without the need for a bank or middleman.

Bitcoin is backed by the users who continue to adopt the network in exponential numbers, and it features a maximum supply of 21 million coins at a time when most governments have been engaged in seemingly endless cycles of money printing and inflation.

Bitcoin is worth $25,925 at time of publishing, up 6.6% in the last 24 hours.
