1258 ET - More investors are engaging with cryptocurrencies in trading -- although it appears to be investors selling into the risk-off slump that's hit crypto tokens. According to data from Coinglass, $74.5 billion in bitcoin has been traded over the past 24 hours, which is up 18.6% from the prior day. Many altcoins are seeing even bigger explosions in trading volumes -- nearly $4 billion in NEAR has been traded over the past 24 hours, nearly double the previous day. But the higher volumes appear to be in part holders of long positions getting liquidated - with $221.7 million in bitcoin long positions liquidated over the past 24 hours, according to Coinglass.
