Analysts say confusion over China’s export rules briefly rattled markets before Bitcoin miners led a swift recovery on Monday. Shares of Bitcoin mining companies rose sharply on Monday, recovering from losses sustained during Friday’s flash crash that analysts attributed to US President Donald Trump’s apparent misunderstanding of new Chinese export controls. Bitfarms (BITF) and Cipher Mining (CIFR) led the rally, each posting double-digit gains. Hut 8 Mining (HUT), IREN (IREN) and MARA Holdings (MARA) also climbed more than 4%, while Core Scientific (CORZ) and Riot Blockchain (RIOT) traded broadly higher at the start of the session. The rebound followed a steep sell-off on Friday after Trump announced plans to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, stoking fears of an escalating trade war. The president’s comments, however, were later revealed to be based on a misunderstanding of China’s new export measures. Trump subsequently walked back his remarks over the weekend. Read more -

Surprisingly, the fund’s inaugural purchase was not Bitcoin (BTC) but BNB (BNB), the native token of the BNB Chain. Through a strategic partnership with Binance Kazakhstan, a local entity licensed under the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) regime, the fund was able to secure custody and align with compliance frameworks from the outset.

Binance’s pricing glitch and a new chapter in Trump’s trade war turned a market sell-off into the largest crypto liquidation on record. A combination of factors converged into a perfect storm on Friday, triggering the cryptocurrency industry’s largest liquidation event in history and briefly sending Bitcoin (BTC) below $110,000. The $19 billion in liquidations doesn’t mean investors lost that sum of money, but rather that leveraged positions were forcibly closed. The unrealized loss can be better observed through the drop in market capitalization, which shows a $450-billion wipeout. From Friday to Sunday, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell from $4.24 trillion to $3.79 trillion. At the time of writing, the market has already rebounded above $4 trillion.
