The Largest Liquidation Event in Crypto History: 19.3 Billion in 24h
The crypto market has just registered the LARGEST liquidation event of all time. Between October 10 and 11, 2025, more than US$ 19.3 billion were liquidated in just 24 hours — an absolute record that comfortably surpassed all previous major collapses.
To get a sense of the scale:
• During the Terra Luna collapse (2022), daily liquidations reached around US$ 1.5 billion.
• In the FTX collapse (November 2022), the peak was US$ 1.9 billion.
• And in the COVID crash (March 2020), when Bitcoin fell below US$ 4.000, liquidations hit US$ 1 billion.
The October 2025 event was almost ten times larger than these historical episodes, marking one of the largest corrections and margin calls ever recorded in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.
This collapse shows how much more leveraged, interconnected, and sensitive the current market is to sharp movements, where billions can evaporate in a matter of hours.
More than just a simple crash, it was a brutal reminder that leverage remains the traders' greatest enemy — and that, in 2025, whales and algorithms dictate the pace of liquidations.
