Historic Liquidations in Crypto Markets
Crypto markets experienced unprecedented liquidations, amounting to $2.2 billion in just 24 hours, marking the largest loss of its kind in history. The CEO of Bybit indicated that this staggering figure translated to over $2 billion exclusively on their exchange. This wave of liquidations appears to predominantly affect Ethereum and various altcoins, while Bitcoin has maintained relative stability.
