Bybit\u2019s liquidation rules use mark price, the exchange\u2019s reference price for margin calculations, rather than the last trade. The trigger varies by margin mode.<\/p>\n<p>Nor does a daily ETF inflow represent a standing bid at a guaranteed Bitcoin price. BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, or IBIT, uses authorized participants creating or redeeming baskets for cash or Bitcoin in its prospectus. While the fund seeks to track Bitcoin\u2019s price, the flow figure alone cannot show when or where an equivalent spot purchase occurred.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\" data-newsletter-placement=\"article-midpoint\" data-newsletter-pending-label=\"Joining\u2026\" data-newsletter-pending-status=\"Joining The Catalyst\u2026\" data-newsletter-email-required-message=\"Before sending, please provide your email address.\" aria-labelledby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" aria-describedby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-copy\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\"> <i class=\"fa-regular fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> The Catalyst <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">What\u2019s moving crypto.
