As Bitcoin surged from its day’s low of roughly $51,050, the broader digital asset market experienced significant ripple effects. Just shy of $400 million worth of liquidations were triggered over 24 hours, with Bitcoin accounting for nearly half of this at roughly $200 million, according to Coinglass.
