Over $875M Worth of Crypto Positions Liquidated in 24 Hours

The crypto market just witnessed a brutal wave of liquidations. In just one day, a staggering $875.74M in leveraged positions got wiped across the board—that's what happens when traders over-leverage and the market whips back.

The most painful hit? A single $25.83M BTC-USDT position got force-closed on Hyperliquid. This kind of mega-liquidation on Bitcoin pairs shows how fast things can turn when you're playing with leverage. One wrong move, one sharp price swing, and boom—your entire position is gone.

This is the reality of leveraged trading. The bigger your bet, the faster you can lose it all. Bitcoin, altcoins, doesn't matter—when liquidation cascades hit, they hit everyone.

Another wave of bloodshed, this time 870 million directly evaporated, truly incredible. Wait, is that 25 million BTC position real? Gone in an instant? Leverage is really a poison, and there are still many people playing with it. Liquidation chain reactions are happening together, retail investors simply can't escape. That's why I absolutely refuse to touch leverage, it's too risky. Hyperliquid's liquidation力度 this time is quite intense... Friends who play with leverage, condolences, it's time to start over. Eight-figure amounts can disappear just like that, this market is really brutal.

Another day of leveraged traders being liquidated. Looking at these numbers makes me feel for them. Stop talking, it's another leverage crash... Why do some people never learn? 87 million disappeared in an instant. This is the price of non-custodial, truly ruthless. That hyperliquid trade, laughed to death—25 million seconds gone, brother, dreams shattered. Leverage is really like gambling with ghosts; winning is just borrowed happiness. Once the liquidation chain reaction starts, no one can escape. I just sit on the side and watch the show. Here we go again? The market is like this—it's the fate of high-leverage enthusiasts. Seeing the liquidation order is like witnessing someone’s life and death; indeed, the farther from leverage, the better the sleep. BTC hit a record with that order. How greedy do you have to be to play like that? I've flipped over this idea more than once. Living is way more important than making money.

Again, another liquidation, and this time it’s pretty harsh --- 87 million gone, it’s painful just to look at --- Leverage is really something else, going back to the Stone Age overnight --- That 25M BTC order, how much pressure does the guy have to withstand... --- Luckily, I’m just a small investor, I can’t afford this level of loss --- Futures trading is always the place where the most winners emerge, haha --- Looking at this wave of liquidations, I’m glad I didn’t play with leverage --- Is someone about to say all-in for the rebound again? --- Hyperliquid really shows its strength in this kind of market condition --- Every time this happens, someone regrets, and next time they get greedy

Once again, liquidation occurred, 870 million gone --- That 25.83 million liquidation on Hyperliquid is hilarious, leverage is truly poison --- No, why insist on using leverage? Isn't spot trading more straightforward and better? --- Once the liquidation chain reaction starts, no one can escape, it's so real --- Evaporating 870 million in a day, this is the daily life of crypto --- Looking at this wave of liquidations, I’m just glad I didn’t use leverage. As long as I’m alive, I’ve won --- A price fluctuation in the opposite direction, and it’s game over. I’m really timid
