Since its inception, Binance has quickly become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. Binance is primarily known for its low fees and large amounts of liquidity. The exchange currently offers more than 500 cryptocurrencies and over 1,200 trading pairs. This certainly makes it an attractive place to trade as crypto investors can have their pick of almost any digital asset they wish to trade.
But some say the BITO ETF is not enough, because while the fund is linked to Bitcoin, it does not actually hold the crypto directly. The fund instead holds Bitcoin futures contracts. While Bitcoin futures follow the general trends of the actual crypto, experts say it may not track the price of Bitcoin directly. For now, investors must continue waiting for an ETF that holds Bitcoin directly.
Exchange data from Bybt shows that roughly $46 million worth of long ETH positions were liquidated across the board due to the sudden pullback. Since the flash crash, ETH has also failed to hold above $4,000.

In Bhambhwani et al. (2019), we challenge the perception that cryptocurrency markets are simply plagued with bubbles and speculative trading by identifying two key blockchain measures that affect cryptocurrency prices. Specifically, theory suggests that the trustworthiness and the transaction benefits of a blockchain are important determinants of cryptocurrency values. Pagnotta and Buraschi (2018) link trustworthiness to the computing power devoted to the blockchain. Biais et al. (2018) link transaction benefits of a cryptocurrency to the size of its network.
It can be seen from Fig 6 that coherence in the short run is erratic throughout the time interval analysed, and that there is little appreciable difference between the bubble and non-bubble regimes. However in the medium term (8–16 and 16–32 days), coherence generally peaks around areas where bubbles have been identified in the price series. The longer term relationship, though, is less dependent on whether the price is in a bubble phase.
