The four altcoins managed to survive the cascading effect of a bearish report from a Matrixport analyst, who opined that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could reject the spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) applications.


As news of the report broke, Bitcoin price retracted almost 7%, and with it, altcoins, causing up to $540 million in total liquidations across the market within a four-hour span. For Bitcoin, up to $166.37 positions were liquidated, comprising $138.55 million longs against $27.81 shorts. This means that up to $373.63 million altcoin positions were liquidated, marking the largest altcoin liquidation event in two years.
