Similarly, traders looking to gain long exposure to Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) ahead of the launch of several spot Ether ETFs — expected&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-etfs-window-dressing-stage-approval-weeks-galaxy-digital">as soon as mid-July</a> — also saw their positions wiped.
In total, $57.9 million in ETH long positions&nbsp;were liquidated in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;

Much of the blame for the wider pullback in the price of Bitcoin has been laid at the feet of the defunct&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/the-mt-gox-bitcoin-heist">Japanese crypto exchange Mt. Gox</a>, which is <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mt-gox-trustee-start-bitcoin-bitcoin-cash-repayments">scheduled to begin</a>&nbsp;repayments of&nbsp;approximately $8.5 billion worth of BTC to its creditors beginning in early July.&nbsp;
However, some analysts believe the repayments <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/mt-gox-bitcoin-dump-fear-concern-overblown-analysts">may not be as dire for Bitcoin</a> as others believe.&nbsp;
Other majors and altcoins also sold off sharply during Bitcoin’s quick dip below $58,000. Ether&nbsp;is down 4.5% at the time of writing, briefly falling as low as $3,145 during a sharp sell-off at 2:00 am UTC on July 4.&nbsp;
BNB (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/binance-coin-price-index">BNB</a>) is down 6% at the time of writing, falling from $573 to $539.
Solana (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index">SOL</a>) also pared much of its recent gains, dropping 10.3% in the last 24 hours, plunging from a weekly high of $154 to $136 at the time of publication.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, mentions of “buy the dip" have <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-traders-tell-pesimissts-buy-the-dip-bitcoin">skyrocketed across social media</a> in the last two days, with the use of the phrase doubling across Reddit, X and 4Chan in the same timeframe.&nbsp;
