TREE NEWS reports: Crypto futures liquidations across major exchanges totaled $316 million over the past 24 hours, CoinGlass data shows, with $183 million in long positions and $133 million in shorts liquidated. Bitcoin accounted for $56.88 million of the total and Ethereum $55.30 million. The largest single liquidation, worth $5.34 million, occurred on Binance’s ETHUSDT contract.
Crypto liquidations hit $316M in 24 hours, longs and shorts both wiped out
Two-sided liquidations of this size matter because they signal a violent, directionless shakeout rather than a one-way trend — leverage on both sides was caught off guard, which typically reflects a liquidity vacuum where moves overshoot. The concentration in BTC and ETH, plus a single large Binance ETHUSDT liquidation, points to perp markets as the transmission channel. The open question is whether this deleveraging resets positioning or precedes further volatility.
