## Resource

Bitcoin clears $78K for the first time in weeks. $418 million in liquidations in 24 hours. ETH up 4%, SOL up 4%. The short squeeze the bears didn't see coming. Today's key developments: • $418 million in crypto liquidations in 24 hours as Bitcoin tests $78K resistance and short sellers get caught offside. • Lazarus Group has a new attack vector: a macOS-targeting exploit called Mach-O Man, and they're using LayerZero and other bridges to launder the proceeds. • Aave's TVL is sliding, with capital rotating to Spark and Lido — and USDC is becoming the default parking spot for DeFi cash sitting on the sidelines. 📰 Read the full Daily Pulse: https://pulse.tokenmetrics.com/p/bitcoin-clears-78k-short-sellers-just-got-wrecked-apr-22-2026?utm_source=spreaker&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=daily_pulse_podcast 🔔 Subscribe for daily crypto market updates! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
