🟠 Bitcoin shorts wiped out in strongest rally in months

Crypto markets staged their sharpest rally in months as a confluence of factors — Treasury intervention, regulatory developments, and a historic short squeeze — drove Bitcoin and Ether sharply higher, decimating bearish positions.

The squeeze erased significant leveraged short exposure across both assets. Separately, Elon Musk's X platform moved to integrate stablecoins as a creator payment option, while banks and technology companies continued expanding their stablecoin strategies — underscoring the accelerating push by traditional and tech players into dollar-pegged digital assets.
