- The crypto market saw a wave of liquidations for $871 million.
- These are predominantly long positions.
- According to experts, the sell-off is provoked by Trump’s statement on duties on products from the EU.
Over the past 24 hours, the volume of liquidations on crypto asset futures contracts totaled $871 million, according to CoinGlass. The wave of forced position closures was triggered by volatility, the reason for which, according to experts, is the tariff policy of US President Donald Trump’s administration.
As can be seen in the infographic below, the vast majority of losses are on long positions. In total, nearly 249,000 traders were affected by the liquidation. Bitcoin and Ethereum are at the top.

The largest liquidation was recorded on the Hyperliquid exchange in the BTC/USDT pair — $25.8 million. Moreover, this particular platform is the anti-leader, with Bybit in second place.
Most assets sagged on the daily chart, according to CryptoRank. Bitcoin, in particular, fell below $93,000 and Ethereum dropped below $3200.

The Fear and Greed Index, which only recently hit a local high from early October 2025, has sagged 11 points relative to last week and five points in the last 24 hours.

According to experts, the sell-off is dictated by fears about the introduction of duties by the United States on imported products from a number of EU countries. Recall, Trump threatened to introduce tariffs, demanding to give America the island of Greenland.
However, specifically the cryptocurrency market remains weak relative to other high-risk assets, as the latter have shown greater resilience in the same environment, Min Jeong, a researcher at Presto Research, noted in a commentary for The Block.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models
The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
