The Daily Volume of Liquidations on Futures Contracts Exceeded $870M

  • The crypto market saw a wave of liquidations for $871 million.
  • These are predominantly long positions.
  • According to experts, the sell-off is provoked by Trump’s statement on duties on products from the EU.

Over the past 24 hours, the volume of liquidations on crypto asset futures contracts totaled $871 million, according to CoinGlass. The wave of forced position closures was triggered by volatility, the reason for which, according to experts, is the tariff policy of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

As can be seen in the infographic below, the vast majority of losses are on long positions. In total, nearly 249,000 traders were affected by the liquidation. Bitcoin and Ethereum are at the top.

The largest liquidation was recorded on the Hyperliquid exchange in the BTC/USDT pair — $25.8 million. Moreover, this particular platform is the anti-leader, with Bybit in second place.

Most assets sagged on the daily chart, according to CryptoRank. Bitcoin, in particular, fell below $93,000 and Ethereum dropped below $3200.

The Fear and Greed Index, which only recently hit a local high from early October 2025, has sagged 11 points relative to last week and five points in the last 24 hours.

According to experts, the sell-off is dictated by fears about the introduction of duties by the United States on imported products from a number of EU countries. Recall, Trump threatened to introduce tariffs, demanding to give America the island of Greenland.

However, specifically the cryptocurrency market remains weak relative to other high-risk assets, as the latter have shown greater resilience in the same environment, Min Jeong, a researcher at Presto Research, noted in a commentary for The Block.

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
