Bitcoin can liquidate $15B in shorts with 10% BTC price uptick — Data
Key points: Bitcoin is working on completing a 'successful' support retest as trader bets increase prior to the weekly candle close. BTC price volatility is expected as liquidity analysis shows that conditions favor a significant short squeeze. $100,000 still remains a likely target in the event of a fresh price dip. Bitcoin held $105,500 toward the June 8 weekly close amid hopes that the BTC price correction was over. Bitcoin liquidation risk rises as price coils at $105,000 Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD cementing its rebound after a trip to $100,500 on June 5. Now almost back at its weekly open level, Bitcoin again inspired traders to bet on upside continuation and resumption of the bull run. 'On the Daily timeframe, Bitcoin is showcasing signs of breaking its two-week Downtrend (light blue) while also turning it into support earlier today,' popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital told X followers while uploading a chart with key levels. 'Daily Closing & retesting ~$106600 (black) would be even better to enable trend continuation.' BTC price action had already achieved a daily close above its 10-day simple moving average (SMA) — something that fellow trader SuperBro had said was a prerequisite to 'invalidate the bear case.' $BTC still needs to reclaim the 10 MA and H&S neckline on a closing basis to invalidate the bear case until then, this is not the place to get aggressive with longs, the time for that was the retest of the FVG and 50 MA, when you were so sure it was all over 😂 — Super฿ro (@SuperBitcoinBro) June 7, 2025 Trader Cas Abbe meanwhile looked to order book liquidity for cues over price direction. This was building both above and below spot price, leading Abbe to predict a magnet-style move to 'grab' it. 'BTC liquidation cluster is now signalling an upside move,' he summarized on X. 'If BTC pumps 10% from here, $15.11 billion in shorts will get liquidated. Meanwhile a 10% downside move will liquidate $9.58 billion in longs.' Abbe noted that negative funding rates pointed to 'big short positions' appearing over the weekend. 'I think BTC big move is coming next week, possibly pushing it above $109K-$110K,' he concluded. $104,400 now key weekly close level Some saw the potential for further support retests first. Updating X followers on his market forecast, popular trader CrypNuevo saw the logical place to build long BTC positions at $100,000. '100k is the strongest psychological support so, as explained on Sunday, it's the area where I'm building some longs with easy invalidation below it,' he wrote, referring to his previous aim of tagging the $100,000 mark. Rekt Capital meanwhile described the support retest after May's all-time highs on weekly timeframes as 'successful.' 'Can Bitcoin successfully confirm this retest with a Weekly Close above $104400 for what would be a 4th week in a row?' he queried. Source:

RWA token market grows 260% in 2025 as firms embrace regulating crypto
The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) surged in the first half of 2025 as increased regulatory clarity fueled broader adoption of blockchain-based financial products. Real-world asset tokenization refers to financial and other tangible assets minted on the immutable blockchain ledger, increasing investor accessibility and trading opportunities for these assets. The RWA market surged more than 260% during the first half of 2025, surpassing $23 billion in total valuation. It was $8.6 billion at the beginning of the year, according to a Binance Research report shared with Cointelegraph. Tokenized private credit led the RWA market boom, accounting for about 58% of the market share, followed by tokenized US Treasury debt, which accounted for 34%. 'As regulatory frameworks become clearer, the sector is poised for continued growth and increased participation from major industry players,' the report said. RWAs have no dedicated regulatory framework and are considered securities by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, the sector still benefits from regulatory developments in the broader crypto space. On May 29, the SEC issued new guidance on cryptocurrency staking, a development that was seen as a step toward 'more sensible regulation,' marking a significant win for the industry, Alison Mangiero, head of staking policy at the Crypto Council for Innovation, told Cointelegraph. The industry is awaiting a full Senate vote on the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, which aims to set clear rules for stablecoin collateralization. Other analysts pointed to Bitcoin's temporary price consolidations as the main driver for the RWA market's growth, as a safer investment option with a predictable yield. Corporate FOMO fuels Bitcoin balance sheets A renewed corporate 'FOMO,' short for fear of missing out, is inspiring increasingly more companies to adopt Bitcoin on their balance sheets. At least 124 public companies are now holding Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasury, according to data from While the summer may bring a slowdown in overall crypto market activity, broader macro conditions and regulatory developments will largely dictate the pace of corporate Bitcoin adoption, a Binance Research spokesperson told Cointelegraph, adding: 'Corporate BTC adoption is driven by long-term balance sheet strategy, treasury diversification and capital-raising activity.' Long-term investment perspectives will likely continue driving Bitcoin's corporate adoption, rather than 'short-term liquidity or seasonal market dynamics,' the researchers added. Source:

In fact, over the week, the token has dropped 0.70 per cent, CoinMarketCap showed, as crypto whales seek profit-booking while Bitcoin holds its longest period above the psychological $1,00,000 level. Over May and June 2025, Bitcoin has held above six figures for the longest period in history — 27 days (25 consecutives days, as per CoinSwitch data), compared to its 18-day run above $1,00,000 in January 2025, according to a report by Cointelegraph. The second largest crypto token, Ethereum network's Ether was flat, down 0.03 per cent to $2,614.70, with market cap at $315.65 billion, down 0.03 per cent, and volume at $18.23 billion up 8.20 per cent.

Donald Trump's favoured Solana also dropped 1.96 per cent to $153.78 over the past 24 hours, with market cap down 1.69 per cent to $80.57 billion, and trade volumes down 26.11 per cent at $2.57 billion. Meanwhile, large Bitcoin holders, known as 'whales' are continuing their profit-taking streak amid the token's new peak run. On June 3, analyst Willy Woo wrote on X on June 3 that 'big whales' with over 10,000 Bitcoin 'have been selling since 2017' noting that most of these coins were bought at '$0 and $700 and held for 8 to 16 years'. Cointelegraph reported that a chart showing the supply held by whales reflected steady decline in holdings over the past eight years, from 2.77 million in 2017 to 1.6 million in 2025 — a drop of around 40 per cent.

Bitcoin hits new high, briefly tops $109,000 amid trade war, U.S. credit downgrade
May 21 (UPI) -- Bitcoin initially rose to $109,857 in value during trading Wednesday morning as trade war tensions eased between the United States and China and a recent U.S. credit downgrade. "Bitcoin's new high has been concocted by an array of favorable ingredients in the macro cauldron," Nexo crypto exchange co-founder Antoni Trenchev told CNBC. "Softer U.S. inflation numbers, a de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade war and the Moody's downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt ... has put the spotlight on alternative stores of value like Bitcoin," Trenchev said. Bitcoin eased in value during afternoon trading at $106,678.74 after reaching its new all-time high during morning trading. The record price represented a 3% increase in Bitcoin's value during morning trading, but much of that increase receded by about an equal amount by the end of trading. Bitcoin has recorded a 26% rise in value over the past 30 days and reached its current record value nine days after the Trump administration on May 12 announced a 90-day trade agreement with China on May 12, according to Cointelegraph. Bitcoin was trading for $74,434 on April 7 and just five days after President Donald Trump announced his reciprocal tariffs trade policy on April 2. Recent trade war de-escalation, improved regulatory oversight and the possibility of cease-fire talks between Russia and Ukraine have helped Bitcoin to being its 26% climb in value so far in May, said Jag Kooner, derivatives leader at Bitfinex exchange. "The Russia-Ukraine cease-fire talks have defused one of the primary geopolitical volatility engines of the past two years," Kooner told Cointelegraph. "We're seeing capital rotate into [Bitcoin] and high-beta tech as the need for geopolitical hedging fades, but liquidity remains abundant," Kooner said. While Bitcoin achieved an all-time high early Wednesday, Dogecoin posted a larger percentage gain during the day's trading. Dogecoin rose 6% in value over the past 24 hours, but that value is just 23 cents for the meme coin, according to decrypt. The increased interest and investment in cryptocurrency follow GOP lawmakers' recent introduction of legislation to create a national strategic Bitcoin reserve to improve the nation's finances.
