Crypto Liquidations: $1.14 Billion Wiped Out as Market Faces Double Attack?

Published by

The crypto market today has witnessed a steep fall. The prime reason for this is the war tensions between Israel and Iran. The dispute escalated again as Israel launched an air strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 13. Moreover, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest inflation report refused hopes for any interest rate cuts in June. 

This dual pressure from geopolitics and monetary policy has sent shockwaves through the market, leading to over $1.14 billion in liquidations. As crypto traders took the brunt, many sought refuge in safer assets like gold, with PAX Gold and Tether Gold among the rare green tokens in a sea of red.

$1.14 Billion Worth Liquidation Hits Traders

In the past 24 hours, 246,590 traders have been liquidated, which highlights a severe slash across the derivatives market. The total liquidations as of press time have spiked to $1.14 billion, emphasizing the intense volatility triggered by the external factors.

The single largest liquidation was registered on Binance’s BTC/USDT pair, wiping out a jaw-dropping $201.31 million in one go. Binance accounted for the largest share overall, registering $455.60M, Bybit followed next with $370.83M, and OKX with $125.58M.

Bitcoin and Ethereum took the major brunt among cryptocurrencies, with $443.77M and $289.96M, respectively, in liquidation volume. Other altcoins, such as SOL, saw $51.95M, and DOGE took $25.61M in liquidations.

Where Is the Crypto Market Heading?

At the time of press, the total market cap of the industry stands at $3.37 trillion, down 2.51%, while 24-hour trading volume is down 4.77% at $129.97 billion. The Fear & Greed Index remains at a greed-driven score of 61, which is expected to come lower as the day passes.

Bitcoin presently trades 3.12% lower at $104,437.94, while Ethereum has taken a bigger hit, down 8.85% at $2,517.03. Major altcoins also faced pressure, with XRP at a 5.47% loss to $2.12 and SOL down 9.74% to $144.33.

With BTC dominance at 63.2% and ETH at 9.8%, the market remains heavily reliant on Bitcoin’s resilience. However, unless geopolitical risks settle and macroeconomic stability returns, further downside could be in store.
