$120 million liquidated as Bitcoin loses $1,000 in value

Bitcoin’s price suffered the largest daily loss in three months as the daily candle registered a high of $10,300 and a low of $9,312 (Bitstamp pricing). This has come after Bitcoin had been trending to the upside for over two-months; creating higher highs and higher lows.

This move came less than 24 hours after the Tether Treasury minted 60,000,000 USDT on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, many speculated that this was a manipulated move by Tether, who has stirred up rumours and conspiracies for a very long time now.

The sudden drop that took place in less than an hour has caused approximately $120 million worth of longs to be liquidated on BitMEX. As a consequence, the open interest lost the $1 billion mark after having sustained it for a few weeks.

This unfortunate news came right after the golden cross; 50MA crossing over 200MA on the daily timeframe, was starting to be circulated amongst cryptocurrency traders and investors. The latter is known across markets to be a bullish sign. In fact, the last time this took place in late-April 2019, Bitcoin's price rallied by over 150% in a few short months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
