The four altcoins managed to survive the cascading effect of a bearish report from a Matrixport analyst, who opined that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could reject the spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) applications.

For Bitcoin, up to $166.37 positions were liquidated, comprising $138.55 million longs against $27.81 shorts.
