Top Crypto News Stories of the Day
1. XRP Liquidation Imbalance Stuns Bulls
XRP perpetual futures have shown unusual trading activity, with a 3,750% difference between long and short positions. Over 97% of $500,000 in liquidated XRP futures came from long positions on Jan. 22, despite a mere 1.5% decline in XRP's price. This suggests excessive confidence and momentum-based trading.
2. Bitcoin Whales Accumulate Amid ETF Inflows
Bitcoin is experiencing increased whale activity, with the number of wallets holding 100-1,000 BTC reaching a record high. Santiment views this as a positive sign for Bitcoin's future price. Bitcoin ETFs have attracted $248 million in net flows, despite a recent 6% price correction.
3. Dogecoin ETF Filing Surprises, Price Falls
Bitwise has filed for a Dogecoin ETF, but the news has surprisingly caused DOGE to drop by 5% to $0.3500. The ETF is still in preparatory stages, and if approved, could potentially boost Dogecoin's value. Despite the recent decline, DOGE has still gained over 300% in the past year.
