Crypto crash wipes out $2.2B—Worse than FTX and LUNA

Crypto Paris merchants on higher prices have just been destroyed. More than $ 2.2 billion in liquidations reached the market while Bitcoin fell to $ 91,000 and Ethereum crashed 20% in 24 hours.

Merchants who were betting large on the prices increasing have their positions liquidated as panic on the newly imposed Trump prices in Canada, Mexico and China triggered A massive cryptography accident. Chaos led to the worst liquidation event in one day never recorded – even starting the terra (Luna) collapse and the FTX (Ftt) fall.

According to RinsingFuture traders felt the weight of this storm, with $ 1.87 billion in liquidated long -term positions, against $ 345 million in short -term positions on February 3.

Ethereum (Ethn) has undergone the heaviest damage, with $ 600 million in ETH liquidations, while Bitcoin (BTC) followed with $ 400 million.

The price reductions were just as brutal – Ethereum crashed at $ 2,500, down 20% in 24, while Bitcoin fell to $ 91,200 before rebounding $ 93,600, still losing 6.5% in one day.

Altcoins were even harder, most of them in the top 100, seeing drops of 15% to 30% in just 24 hours, more amplifying panic at all levels.

The pure quantity of leverage in the system meant that as soon as prices have started to drop, liquidations have made snowball, deepening the decline. The market, already fragile of recent volatility, could not absorb the sales pressure fairly quickly.

An analyst has described this the worst collapse of Altcoin from the cocovio crash and warned of trying to “avenge the trade” with the lever effect, stressing that it is the moment of patience, no reckless Paris.

For the moment, the damage is caused. The next few days will determine whether it was a temporary shakeout or the start of something bigger.
