While Bitcoin drops, whales turn to stablecoins
Today, the markets are starting to go green, but the losses experienced over the past day are the biggest pushed whales, cryptocurrency investors, into stablecoins. The past day, the cryptocurrency markets witnessed massive liquidations. In fact, looking at the liquidation data, it can be seen that $675.8 million was liquidated over the past 24 hours. In the midst of Russia’s military operation against Ukraine, the crypto market has lost almost $200 billion in value.
After brief rescue attempts yesterday, Bitcoin once again plunged into a bearish hit just above $34,000 after the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Most altcoins have suffered even more with significant double-digit losses from the majority. The situation has changed a bit over the past day. Bitcoin posted gains of up to 7 percent and altcoin markets were also up overall. Still, whales seem to have preferred to invest in stablecoins.
