Bitcoin Reclaims $90K as Crypto Markets Snap Back After Heavy Selloff

2025/12/03 13:05
  • Bitcoin saw a 6% uptick, climbing back above $92K. This sparked a broad market rebound after a sharp selloff wiped out nearly $1 billion in leveraged positions.
  • While traders welcomed supportive industry headlines, overall sentiment remains fragile amid ongoing market stress.
  • Despite the price rise, negative funding rates indicate traders remain bearish, suggesting the recovery is fragile in the near term.

Bitcoin climbed back over US$90,000 (AU$137,700) on Tuesday, recovering part of Monday’s sharp selloff that wiped out nearly US$1 billion (AU$1.53 billion) in leveraged positions and rattled sentiment across crypto markets.

Even shares of the Bitcoin mining company led by Eric Trump, American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), dropped hard this Tuesday, losing half its value in early trading sessions. More specifically, a 51% decline, according to data from Yahoo Finance

It seems the market is looking at supportive headlines as a sign of relief, as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins flagged plans to detail an “innovation exemption” for digital asset firms.

Meanwhile, Vanguard said it would allow ETFs and mutual funds primarily holding cryptocurrencies to trade on its platform, according to Bloomberg. 

Wintermute strategist Jasper De Maere told the publication that the move reflects both sector-specific news and crypto “catching up” with broader risk assets.

It seems to be a combination of industry specific headlines and crypto catching up to the broader market that is driving this strong price activity.

Have BTC-ETFs Turned Things Around?

Despite the sell-off pressure that rippled across the market, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw some steady gains today, reaching US$5.9 billion, a sign that institutions and retailers are still interested in exposure to the main cryptocurrency, according to The Block data. 

Despite Tuesday’s bounce, Bitcoin funding rates in perpetual futures have turned negative in recent days, according to CryptoQuant — a sign that demand for bearish exposure now outweighs interest in leveraged long positions, and that any recovery may remain fragile in the near term.

In simple words, this means that even though Bitcoin went up, traders are still nervous, and we can see that on futures markets, where more people are now shorting the crypto asset. This is because the funding rate is negative: traders who are short are getting paid by those who are long (betting on a rise).

How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban

How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban

The post How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 13: Participants hold signs in support of TikTok outside the U.S. Capitol Building on March 13, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Getty Images From President Trump’s first ban attempt to a near-blackout earlier this year, TikTok’s five-year roller coaster ride looks like it’s finally slowing down now that Trump has unveiled a deal framework to keep the ByteDance app alive in the U.S. A look back at the saga around TikTok starting in 2020, however, shows just how close the app came to being shut out of the US – how it narrowly averted a ban and forced sale that found rare bipartisan backing in Washington. Recapping TikTok’s dramatic five-year battle When I interviewed Brendan Carr back in 2022, for example, the future FCC chairman was already certain at that point that TikTok’s days were numbered. For a litany of perceived sins — everything from the too-cozy relationship of the app’s parent company with China’s ruling regime to the app’s repeated floating of user privacy — Carr was already convinced, at least during his conversation with me, that: “The tide is going out on TikTok.” It was, in fact, one of the few issues that Washington lawmakers seemed to agree on. Even then-President Biden was on board, having resurrected Trump’s aborted TikTok ban from his first term and signed it into law. “It feels different now than it did two years ago at the end of the Trump administration, when concerns were first raised,” Carr told me then, in August of 2022. “I think, like a lot of things in the Trump era, people sort of picked sides on the issue based on the fact that it was Trump.” One thing led to another, though, and it looked like Carr was probably…
