The market frenzy that started with the Silicon Valley Bank collapse is pushing the Bitcoin price higher, with some casualties left behind.
The panic caused due to USD Coin's (USDC) depeg from the U.S. dollar manifested itself in a wrong order, costing traders $50,000 per BTC (the king crypto) albeit for several minutes.
The BTC/USDC pair on Binance flash spiked to $50,000 on March 12 around 7:00 pm UTC. The reason for the impulse spike is unknown and was likely due to a "fat finger" trade of a large order.
