The unusual amount for a single trader suggests a large firm, or a large ether holder, was hit hard in yesterday’s steep drop.Ether dropped from $1,780 to as low as $1,560 within minutes, with trading volume surging from $6 billion to over $20 billion across exchanges.
The asset then quickly recovered some of those losses amid late reports of U.S. securities regulators planning to approve ether futures ETFs for trading in the country. ETH traded at just over $1,690 in Asian evening hours on Friday – down 6% in the past 24 hours. Such a price drop in ether came amid one of the largest futures liquidations in over a year – higher than the market impact of crypto exchange FTX’s collapse.

Bitcoin fell 7% in the past 24 hours, registering its largest drop in recent months amid a period of low volatility. Meanwhile, xrp , doge and bitcoin cash led losses among majors falling as much as 15%.
