Episode notes
Historic Deleveraging Exposed Market Fragilities
- The October liquidation cascade was enormous and exposed thin order books on many tokens, shocking market participants.
- Ejaaz argues DeFi largely held up better than CeFi, showing progress in market infrastructure.
Live Account Of The Twenty‑Minute Cascade
- Ejaaz watched the liquidation candle live and saw positions wiped out within twenty minutes, even at low leverage like 1.3x.
- He emphasizes the surreal nature: assets wicked to zero briefly and auto-deleveraging stopped traders out unexpectedly.
DeFi Resilience Versus CeFi Failures
- DeFi platforms often outperformed centralized venues during the cascade, according to Ejaaz.
- That resilience suggests improved protocol designs and oracle mechanics since past crises.
