BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Filing Sparks Bullish Outlook and $16M Loss for Shorts.

TL;DR
BlackRock's filing for a Bitcoin ETF with Coinbase as custodian has sparked a bullish outlook among traders, causing Bitcoin to regain the $25,500 level and leading to over $16 million in short liquidations in the past 24 hours. The SEC has previously rejected other attempts at listing a spot Bitcoin ETF, but the stature of BlackRock could make it difficult for the SEC to reject this application, which could fuel an outsized Bitcoin rally if approved.
