$BTC Donald Trump-Elon Musk Debate Hits the Cryptocurrency Market Too! Millions of Dollars Liquidated! Here Are the Details Near $1 Billion Daily Liquidation in the Crypto Market: Over-Leveraged Long Positions Affected by Macro Concerns

According to data shared by Coinglass, this liquidation is largely due to over-leveraged long positions.

According to experts, because the disclosed data only includes publicly available data, the actual liquidation amount may be higher than this figure.

CIO of Kronos Research Vincent Liu evaluated this sharp decline as follows:

"The liquidation event of $980 million is a perfect storm of Trump-Musk tensions, macroeconomic fears about tariffs, and an over-leveraged market. The inherent fragility in the crypto market caused automatic liquidations to quickly turn into a chain reaction, transforming sentiment-based withdrawals into a sudden market collapse."

While $876.2 million of the total liquidation came from long positions, the most affected cryptocurrency was Bitcoin. On the BTC side, liquidations worth $341.7 million occurred. About 90% of this amount came from long positions.

Ether (ETH) was second with liquidations of $285.6 million. Solana (SOL), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) are among other major altcoins where significant positions were liquidated.

According to Vincent Liu, the sharp decline in BTC and ETH caused excessive optimism in the market to turn against investors:

"Investors using excessive leverage were caught off guard by the sharp correction in Bitcoin and Ether, causing bullish sentiment to accelerate the market's fall."
