According to crypto analytics website Bybt.com, $720 million of the liquidated positions were short positions, betting against the price of Bitcoin. The day's 12% spike has been partially attributed to reports that Amazon may be planning to accept Bitcoin as a payment method in the near future. Crypto exchange giants Binance and FTX have reduced their maximum limits for leveraged trading to 20x, both down from previous limits of 100x or more. Binance imposed the limit on new users on July 19 and intend to implement this for existing users over time. The move appears to be in response to a tightening of regulations in the sector. In another response to regulatory pressure, Uniswap has removed access to around 100 tokens from its user interface – primarily tokenized stocks, options and insurance-based tokens. The action was controversial among the crypto community, however Uniswap has clarified that the move only affects Uniswap Labs' user interface and not the protocol itself. |
