If your account suddenly shows money after liquidation, here are a few possible reasons:

💰 Exchange Credit or Rebate:

Sometimes platforms (like Binance, OKX, or Bybit) issue compensation, airdrops, referral rewards, or fee rebates automatically — especially after system errors or liquidations.

🔄 Pending Orders or Margin Settlements:

If you had open margin positions, unrealized PnL or collateral adjustments might have settled after liquidation and returned a small balance.

🎁 Promotional or Airdrop Funds:

Some exchanges drop reward tokens or trial funds directly into wallets — often without prior notice.

⚙️ System or Display Error:

Less common, but sometimes dashboards show temporary balances due to sync or API issues.

🧭 What to do next:

Check your transaction history (deposits, bonuses, or transfers).

Verify your email or notifications for any messages from your exchange.

Do not transfer or trade the funds until you’re sure they’re legitimately yours.

If anything seems off — contact exchange support immediately with screenshots and timestamps.
