The crypto market saw a sharp downturn as $566 million in liquidations wiped out positions within 24 hours. Major altcoins like XRP, Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) dropped into the red, while the global crypto market cap slipped 2% to $3.17 trillion. This sudden crash follows the shocking $1.4 billion Bybit hack, which rattled traders and sparked panic selling.

Bybit Hack Sparks Mass Liquidations

The aftermath of the Bybit security breach led to a major market sell-off, causing widespread liquidations. Data from CoinGlass shows that 151,222 traders were affected, with long positions suffering the most losses.

  • Long positions saw $321 million in liquidations
  • Short positions accounted for $234 million in losses
  • The largest single liquidation happened on Binance with a BTC/USDT trade worth $12.14 million

Bitcoin (BTC) also took a hit, dropping 2% to $96,170. At the same time, BTC’s market dominance slipped 0.47% to 61.09%. Total BTC liquidations reached $133 million, showing the extent of the sell-off.

Altcoins Suffer Bigger Losses

Altcoins saw even steeper declines as the sell-off intensified:

  • XRP dropped 3%
  • Solana (SOL) fell 3.5%
  • Dogecoin (DOGE) declined 4%
  • Cardano (ADA) took the biggest hit, losing 5%
  • Shiba Inu (SHIB) slipped 2%

With the market cap now at $3.17 trillion, traders are on edge, fearing further losses.

Despite the overall market downturn, a few tokens managed to stay in the green:

Bitget Token (BGB):- is the top gainer with a rise of 4.7% hovering around $5.

Maker (MKR):- recorded a gain of 4% trading around $1513.
