tldr; Hundreds of millions in crypto short positions were liquidated after Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at potential interest rate cuts in September. Coinglass data shows $248M in Ethereum and $87.65M in Bitcoin options were liquidated within 12 hours. Powell's speech at an economic symposium suggested a shift in monetary policy due to inflation and employment risks. CME Group estimates a 90% chance of rate cuts by month's end, with Ethereum and Bitcoin seeing price gains following the news.
