TREE NEWS reports: Oct. 10 marks the largest single day of liquidations in crypto’s recorded history, with more than $19 billion wiped out. A year ago to the day, bitcoin had just set an all-time high of $126,000, with Standard Chartered projecting it would reach $200,000. The liquidation figure is the highest on record for the industry.

The record liquidation total matters less as a single-day statistic than as a stress test of the leverage that built up around bitcoin's prior high. It lands on the anniversary of that peak, which frames the past year as a round trip rather than a trend, and it puts pressure on the more bullish sell-side calls made at the top. Whether the market rebuilds leverage at the same pace, or de-risks for longer, is the open question.
