The short version

- Traders saw $31.1 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours.
Ethereum rose 2.7% on Wednesday as gains across artificial intelligence equities spilled into the crypto market, according to FXStreet. The NASDAQ gained 1.7% and the S&P 500 rose 1.1% on the day. The rebound in stocks was boosted by a 20% jump in CoreWeave, a cloud provider for artificial intelligence, after its third-quarter earnings beat analysts estimates.
Nvidia also saw a rebound after two straight days of losses. Those gains trickled into the crypto market, which has shown a strong positive correlation with artificial intelligence related equities over the past year. Ethereum approached the $2,100 level, notching a mild recovery from its decline to $2,000 after a hot inflation report renewed expectations of a rate hike.
Odds of a quarter percentage point hike at the Federal Reserve December meeting spiked above 90% following the report. Meanwhile, Ethereum treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies reported a $6.3 billion net loss in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026, driven by $6.23 billion in unrealized fair value losses on its digital asset holdings.
The company held 5,901,837 Ethereum with a fair value of $14.6 billion as of the end of August. Ethereum recorded $31.1 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, led by $22.8 million in short liquidations. Bitcoin traded around $73,800 after slipping to a low of $72,727 following the inflation figures, while Bitcoin spot exchange traded funds recorded a $95 million outflow on Tuesday.
