On Friday, Bitcoin experienced a significant price dip, dropping to a 24-hour low of $65,853 after the Wall Street Journal reported that Tether, a popular stablecoin, was under investigation by US authorities. However, Tether and its CEO quickly dismissed the report as old news. The news had an impact on the market, causing Bitcoin to fall below $66,000. This led to widespread liquidations in crypto derivatives markets, resulting in the loss of $233 million and affecting the positions of 80,771 traders. Bitcoin's price swings highlight how sensitive the market is to regulatory news. The upcoming 2024 US election, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as potential candidates, is expected to influence Bitcoin's trajectory, with Trump leaning towards lighter regulations and Harris potentially favoring stricter regulation.
