Crypto traders using leverage to bet on Bitcoin’s price trajectory are getting whiplash.

In the last 24 hours, $655 million in leveraged crypto bets have been liquidated, according to the market data tracker CoinGlass.

The liquidations coincided with rapid updates on President Trump’s push to acquire Greenland and impose new tariffs on EU countries that failed to go along with his plan.

The day began with Bitcoin rising from $88,224 to $90,295, a move that liquidated more than $75 million in shorts.

BTC then abruptly reversed back down to $87,304, liquidating around $145 million in longs.

That’s when President Trump decided to cancel the incoming EU tariffs, which brought BTC back up to as high as $90,203, liquidating over $200 million in shorts.

In total, BTC witnessed $96 million in long liquidations and $135 million short liquidations in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum is in second, with $126 million in long liquidations and $120 million short liquidations in the last day.

Bitcoin is priced at $89,479 at time of publishing, with ETH at $2,988.

DeFi Technologies' Valour Launches New Bitcoin-Collateralized ETP on London Stock Exchange

PANews reported on September 19th that, as the UK gradually relaxes restrictions on digital assets, Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, launched a Bitcoin-collateralized ETP on the London Stock Exchange, offering investors the opportunity to earn cryptocurrency returns. This Bitcoin-collateralized ETP offers an annual yield of 1.4%, backed by Bitcoin held in cold wallets and secured by multi-party computation (MCP) technology. Currently, this new Bitcoin-collateralized ETP is only available to institutional and professional investors. The UK will allow retail investors to purchase cryptocurrency ETNs again on October 8, lifting a ban in place since 2021. The announcement did not specify how returns will be generated. However, another Bitcoin ETP listed by Valour on a French exchange generates Bitcoin returns by delegating tokens on Core Chain.

Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules

Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules

The post Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Department of the Treasury has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The measure invites public comments for 30 days following publication in the Federal Register, with submissions viewable on Regulations.gov. The Treasury is seeking input on consumer protection, illicit finance, financial stability, and compliance obligations for stablecoin issuers, as it develops the first formal regulations under the new law. The GENIUS Act, passed earlier this year, marked the first major US legislation focused specifically on payment stablecoins. It directs the Treasury to create a regulatory framework that balances innovation with oversight. This effort follows the Treasury’s August 18 request for comment on detecting illicit activity involving digital assets, which remains open until October 17. While the current notice does not impose new obligations, it signals a pivotal stage in translating the GENIUS Act into enforceable policy. Ethereum stablecoin supply | Blockworks Research Ethereum remains the dominant hub for stablecoins, with a circulating supply of $174 billion on its network, representing 60.7% market share across all chains, according to Blockworks Research data. USDT leads with more than $84 billion deployed on Ethereum, followed by USDC at $47 billion.  Emerging stablecoins such as USDe and USDf have shown sharp growth, expanding their supply by over $141 million and $38 million respectively in recent reporting periods.
