- CoinGlass data cited by Coin Edition showed USD 597 million in Bitcoin futures liquidations over 24 hours on November 15.
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded USD 185.4 million in net outflows on Friday, according to the same report.
- Bitcoin traded at USD 64,480.53 at 06:00 UTC on November 15, based on the latest quoted market data.
Bitcoin entered Sunday trading with leveraged positions being closed across the futures market. CoinGlass data cited by Coin Edition showed USD 597 million in Bitcoin futures liquidations over the 24 hours covered by its November 15 report. Long positions accounted for USD 549 million and short positions for USD 48 million.
The latest quoted Bitcoin price was USD 64,480.53 at 06:00 UTC on November 15, equivalent to 07:00 Berlin time. The quote was provided by BTCUSD market data. The market was open at that timestamp, so the figure represents a live cryptocurrency quote rather than a traditional exchange close.
ETF Flows Add to Liquidity Strain
Coin Edition reported USD 185.4 million in net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday. The report said withdrawals had reached about USD 1.91 billion across seven consecutive trading sessions starting November 5. ETF flows are an important channel for institutional exposure to Bitcoin, but they do not capture every source of buying or selling in the wider market.
A separate Moneycontrol report, republishing Bloomberg material on November 15, described about USD 1.9 billion in crypto liquidations over the 24 hours through 07:00 Singapore time on Sunday. Bitcoin positions represented USD 684 million of that total, while Ether accounted for USD 466 million. The report also put U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETF outflows at almost USD 3 billion from October 30 through November 13.
What Investors Should Watch
For investors, the combination of ETF redemptions and forced futures closures highlights the difference between spot demand and leveraged positioning. Liquidations can accelerate price moves when positions are closed automatically, while ETF flows provide a separate indication of demand through regulated investment products. Neither measure alone establishes a durable market floor.
The Bitcoin price remains sensitive to interest-rate expectations and broader risk appetite, according to the cited market reports. Bitcoin.org describes the asset as a peer-to-peer payment network operating without a central authority or bank; its project overview is available at Bitcoin.org.
