TREE NEWS reports: Crypto futures liquidations across major exchanges reached $745 million in the hour to 06:21, with long positions accounting for $715 million and shorts $29.62 million, CoinGlass data show. About 137,000 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with ETH and BTC losses at $343 million and $229 million respectively. The largest single liquidation was a $48.16 million ETH/USDT order on Binance, as BTC fell 1.52% to $74,643 and ETH dropped 4.52% to $2,132.8.
Crypto liquidations hit $745M in one hour, longs 96% of total
The near-total skew toward longs turns a modest BTC decline into a $745 million flush, showing how crowded leveraged positioning had become rather than reflecting any broad risk event. ETH's outsized share of losses and the single large Binance ETH/USDT order point to concentrated pain in that market. The open question is whether this forced deleveraging resets positioning quickly or signals that further downside pressure is building.
