#MarketTurbulence 🚨 CRYPTO SHOCKWAVE: $1B WIPED OUT IN ONE DAY! 🚨
The crypto market just got slammed with its biggest shake-up of 2025 — all triggered by one statement from the US Treasury.
💥 What Happened:
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the government will not purchase Bitcoin for the Strategic Reserve. Instead:
🇺🇸 Reserve will be built only from seized BTC
Current stash: $15–$20B worth of Bitcoin
🚫 No more selling of existing BTC holdings
This news broke right after Bitcoin set a new ATH above $124K, catching traders completely off guard.
📉 The Fallout:
BTC plunged to $118K within hours
$1 BILLION in crypto liquidations in 24 hours (CoinGlass)
Long traders were decimated: $747M wiped
ETH led with $312M in liquidations, followed by BTC ($214M), SOL ($66M), and XRP ($56M)
🔥 Why Ethereum Took the Hardest Hit
ETH was on a tear toward its own all-time high, with leverage piling up fast. When sentiment flipped, overleveraged longs got crushed.
🇺🇸 The Bigger Picture – Trump’s Crypto Agenda
Even without direct BTC buys, the US is still pushing forward:
📄 Digital Assets Report released with major policy plans
⚡ SEC launches Project Crypto
🚀 CFTC starts Crypto Sprint
The message is clear: regulation for expansion — but no open-market BTC buying for now.
📊 Market Right Now:
BTC: $118,200 (-2% 24h)
ETH: Fighting resistance near ATH
Altcoins: Volatile with heavy liquidations
💬 Your Move:
Is this just a short-term shakeout before BTC rockets to $150K, or the first step into a deeper correction?
