Growth Factors and Liquidations in the Market

According to analysts, the new record for Bitcoin’s price was made possible by several factors. In particular, the significant weakening of the US dollar has boosted demand for cryptocurrencies, while the challenging situation in the global financial system is also pushing investors towards digital assets. Increased interest from institutional investors plays an important role as well: from June 30 to July 3, 2025, the net inflow of funds into spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reached $988.79 million, marking the fourth consecutive “green” week for Bitcoin and the eighth for Ethereum.

At the same time, over the past day, the volume of liquidations in the digital asset market exceeded $491 million. The majority of the losses were attributed to short positions—over $432 million—while traders with long positions lost about $59 million.
