What Does This Mean?
There’s a range of reported figures, and the discrepancies likely stem from:
Different data sources: Some reflect real-time aggregated data across all exchanges (like Gate.com), while others use estimates or specific subsets (e.g., just futures contracts).
Scope differences: Platforms may include spot, futures, and perpetual contract liquidations, or only one category.
Reporting vs. actual real-time data: News outlets sometimes use delayed or combined data.
Final Take
The most conservative real-time number is ~$225 million, based on Gate.com data.
However, broader industry estimates suggest much larger swings—upwards of $500 million overall, particularly when including futures and institutional liquidations.
