Since 2025, the scale of liquidations in the crypto market has surpassed $150 billion, reflecting the ongoing pressure market participants have endured during extreme conditions. According to CoinGlass statistics, the average daily liquidation volume has remained relatively stable between $400 million and $500 million.

In terms of daily trading activity, the majority of long and short liquidations are not particularly large—usually ranging from tens of millions to a few hundred million dollars. These liquidation events are often caused by margin fluctuations and position adjustments in high-leverage environments, with relatively mild impacts on the medium- and long-term price trends of crypto assets and market structure.

However, there are moments when the market experiences genuine systemic stress. Mid-October was such a point. The deleveraging event from October 10 to 11 was especially prominent—on October 10 alone, the total market liquidation amount reached $19 billion, setting a single-day record for various liquidation events that year.

More importantly, according to feedback from some trading platforms and market makers, the actual liquidation scale during that event may have been between $30 billion and $40 billion, a level several times higher than the secondary high liquidation events in the previous cycle. This also explains why market volatility was so intense during that period—the underlying cause was a large-scale reallocation of capital.

That wave in October was directly bloody. 19 billion is just the tip of the iceberg, actually 40 billion? How many people need to be liquidated to that extent?

$150B in liquidations and we're supposed to act like this is normal? Oct 10-11 was a straight up massacre, 300-400B if you believe the dealers... nah, we just watched cascading leverage get nuked in real time lmao

150 billion liquidation, to be honest, this number is a bit scary… The wave in October directly caused 30-40 billion, no wonder the decline was so fierce at that time. --- Always seeing liquidation news, it feels like others are being wiped out… Why are so many people playing with leverage? --- 190 billion in a single day record, truly a major cleanup. How many people went bankrupt during this wave? --- The derivatives market is like this, usually calm and uneventful, then suddenly a systemic pressure hits… retail investors are always the ones caught in the crossfire. --- An average daily liquidation of 400-500 million is considered normal? Just hearing these numbers feels crazy. --- I still remember what happened in mid-October. During that time, I didn’t dare check my account at all, it was too intense. --- Actual liquidation of 300-400 billion? The official data of 190 billion is really just the tip of the iceberg. --- High leverage is like this, when a black swan appears, all positions have to be accounted for. --- Are there still people willing to open leverage now? After seeing these numbers, I’m directly discouraged.

150 billion liquidation... Oh my god, how many people got wiped out? That wave in October was just insanely fierce. Starting the year 2025 so intense, high leverage is really just legal gambling. 190 billion in a single day record? That number alone makes your scalp tingle, but in reality, 300-400 billion is even more outrageous. Luckily, I didn't chase the high; this market trend really is just screening people. Daily liquidations of 4-5 billion are routine; this market is crazy. I really want to know how many contract traders have already quit. That mid-October wave directly changed the landscape, with the capital situation being forcibly reallocated. That's why I no longer look at high leverage; it's too dangerous. 150 billion, what does it mean? It indicates the market is shaking out, with the chives being cut one after another. When there are more people, there are more liquidations; this is the fate of crypto.

$150 billion liquidation? Damn, this time it's really a bloodbath... --- During the October wave, I was trembling while watching the screen. How did the 19 billion single-day record get broken? --- High leverage is a gambler's game; someone always pays the price for their dreams each time. --- 300 to 400 billion in actual liquidation? Why does it feel like no one truly dares to admit this number? --- Talking about risk management every day, but in extreme market conditions, it's all just empty talk. --- An average daily fluctuation of 400 to 500 million has become the norm; it's numbingly normal. --- That's why I only dare to work and earn coins; I can't afford to play with leverage. --- That round of deleveraging wiped out many accounts directly... I dare not ask. --- Systemic pressure, these four words, sound so light and airy.

GATE, I didn't deserve to have you send me money through my account number, and now I checked, 4.3 trillion is with you, my money, plus how much you shared per session. I copied everything to have proof.

150 billion liquidation... Oh my god, it's only been a few months, leverage monsters really haven't learned On the day of the 19 billion single-day record, I watched the K-line and felt a heart attack coming, actual liquidation might be 40 billion? That's why I only trade spot That wave in October was truly intense, my social circle was full of voices of cutting losses, blood flowing like a river Such frequent liquidations indicate that the market is still too restless, everyone wants to get rich overnight It's actually the fate of high leverage, every round someone gets wiped out, never learning their lesson 150 billion... how many people must have gone bankrupt, just thinking about it is terrifying Daily liquidation of 400 to 500 million dollars? That's normal, the wave in October was truly outrageous Systemic risk comes like this, pouring out in a flood, no one can stop it I just want to know where those big leverage traders are now, are they doing well, everyone Rebalancing funds sounds very professional, simply put, big players are harvesting small investors

$19 billion liquidation in a single day? I honestly just laughed. The leverage guys are really being cleared out this time. The actual liquidation scale is between $30 billion and $40 billion... This time, it's serious. But to be honest, the October wave was really intense. Watching others get liquidated, I was just glad I wasn't fully invested. The $150 billion mark is truly outrageous. This isn't the end, right?
