The overall crypto market saw roughly $145 million in liquidation during the period, mostly from traders who held short positions against BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

According to <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData">Coinglass</a>, 37,332 traders were liquidated — with the most significant liquidation being a $2.2 million BTC-USD short position on ByBit.
Other liquidated assets include Ethereum (<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/ethereum/">ETH</a>) and Arbitrum (<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/arbitrum/">ARB</a>) — with $29.71 million and $4.11 million, respectively.

Bitcoin rose by 8.44% in the last 24 hours to trade at $29,614 at the time of writing, according to CryptoSlate&#8217;s data.
Fears of another U.S. banking crisis are fueling the new Bitcoin rally. CryptoSlate Insight <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/insights/first-republic-bank-stock-halted-amidst-stock-plunge-is-this-bitcoin-fault-as-well/">reported</a> that First Republic Bank shares plunged by more than 29% after news emerged that its deposits fell 40% in 22 days.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government appears unwilling to intervene in the First Republic rescue process as it did with Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March. The government <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/regulators-take-control-of-signature-bank/">took over those banks</a> at the time to prevent further contagion to the broader economy.
Since this banking crisis began, BTC has rallied by more than 35%, according to CryptoSlate&#8217;s data.
Sentiments in the market have been mainly positive. Matrixport chief researcher Markus Thielen said Bitcoin price might reach around $45,000 by the end of this year. Thielen <a href="https://twitter.com/DeFiOnTarget/status/1651098246704685056?s=20">said</a>:
<blockquote>&#8220;As the US 10 year bond yield has started to trade below 3.5%, we can assume that inflation will be a big tailwind for risk assets – notably Bitcoin.&#8221;</blockquote>
