🔥Three months later! Bitcoin returns to $69,000, and 1.4 billion shorts are wiped out overnight—#比特币时隔三月重返6.9万美元
On August 20, Bitcoin briefly broke through $69,900, its highest level since June 2. BTC is currently trading in the $69,500–$70,000 range, up about 7–8% over the past 24 hours. Ethereum surged by around 19% back to $2,200, SOL jumped more than 11%, and altcoins are celebrating as the whole market liquidated over $1.3 billion.
📋 Three policy signals ignite the rally
① Treasury bond buybacks double in size: The U.S. Treasury announced it will raise the per-transaction cap for long-term Treasury buybacks from $2 billion to $4 billion, effective September 9. The 30-year Treasury yield, which was as high as 5.337%, plunged immediately—directly boosting risk assets.
② The SEC proposes the Reg Crypto framework: It offers a compliance-exemption pathway for the issuance of crypto assets for the first time—up to $5 million within four years, or up to $75 million within 12 months. This marks a shift from “enforcement regulation” to “rules-based regulation.”
③ The White House holds a crypto industry summit: Trump meets with SEC and CFTC officials and executives from Coinbase, Ripple, a16z, Nasdaq, and others, pushing the CLARITY Act to pass in September.
With triple positives stacking up—and roughly $1.4 billion of shorts being cleared, triggering a cascading wave of buy orders—BTC has broken out of its trading range in one move.
Institutional money returns: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $487 million in net inflows over two days.
📊 Short term: Getting above $70,000 is key. The $69,000–$70,000 zone is a dual battlefield of history and psychology. If the market manages to stay above $70,000 for several consecutive days, the narrative could change significantly.
🚀 Long term: Standard Chartered sees $100,000 this year. The bank believes Bitcoin still has the potential to challenge $100,000 within the year. Earlier, VanEck noted that Bitcoin’s correction period may be nearing its end.
Brothers and sisters, can BTC hold above $70,000 this time? See you in the comments!👇
