More than $600 million in leveraged crypto long positions were liquidated in 30 minutes as Bitcoin fell below $78,500, Ether dropped under $2,250, Solana slipped below $96 and XRP fell under $1.25.
Why it matters
The liquidations show how quickly losses can compound when leveraged traders are positioned for prices to rise. Simultaneous breaks across four major assets point to broad selling pressure rather than a move confined to one token.
Market impact
Bitcoin, ETH, SOL and XRP all crossed the reported price levels during the same period. The figures mark thresholds, not the size of each asset's decline; the reported liquidation total covers leveraged long positions across crypto markets.
