The crypto assets market experienced a sudden and severe fluctuation in the late night hours. The price of Bitcoin plummeted around 3 AM, resulting in approximately $628 million in get liquidated across the network, affecting the positions of 130,000 traders.



The root cause of this market fluctuation is not an ordinary technical adjustment, but rather a large-scale asset restructuring by a seasoned investor.

Some analysts believe that this may reflect the optimism of certain long-term investors regarding the future development prospects of Ethereum. At the same time, there are also views suggesting that such a large-scale asset transfer could indicate potential changes in market structure.

Regardless, this incident once again proves the high Fluctuation and unpredictability of the Crypto Assets market. For participants, it is particularly important to stay vigilant and manage risks. At the same time, it also provides an opportunity for the market to reflect on how large transactions affect market stability and how to strike a balance between protecting investment freedom and maintaining market order.
