Cryptocurrency Price Today: Brief Rally Is Caused By Erroneous US SEC Tweet About Bitcoin Spot ETFs

Quick analysis of the cryptocurrency pricing on January 10: The value of the world market fell to $1.71 trillion.



The oldest and most valuable cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin (BTC), momentarily approached $48,000 after a fictitious tweet purporting to be from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that all spot BTC exchange-traded funds have the agency's approval. The tweet was promptly taken down by the SEC, which also said that its social media accounts had been hijacked. As a result, in a matter of hours, the price of Bitcoin crashed to the $46,000 range. Derivatives valued at more than $50 million were liquidated during the movement.
