The market has been rocked by a major wave of liquidations: in early December 2025 alone, one report shows nearly US$ 637 million in leveraged positions wiped out, mostly long-bets on Bitcoin (BTC).

Broader data indicates that in a single 24-hour period, total liquidations across the crypto market have sometimes exceeded US$ 480 million to US$ 525 million, with both BTC and Ethereum (ETH) among the hardest hit.

The root cause: rising leverage across exchanges — many traders using 10×, 20×, or higher — making the market extremely sensitive to even modest price swings. When prices turn, margin calls cascade, triggering forced closures (liquidations).
