Crypto futures liquidations reached $932 million across the market over a 24-hour period, with long positions making up about 85% of the total and far exceeding short-position closures. Long positions accounted for $796 million in liquidations, while short positions totaled $136 million. The $660 million gap left long liquidations nearly six times higher than short liquidations, underscoring how heavily the period’s market-wide closures leaned toward one side of futures trading. Ether (ETH) had $281 million in liquidations, compared with $212 million for Bitcoin (BTC). Together, the two assets represented $493 million, or about 53% of all liquidations; the remaining $439 million came from other crypto assets. The largest individual liquidation was a Binance BTCUSDT contract valued at $12.0347 million. That single closure amounted to roughly 1.3% of the market-wide total.
