BREAKING
Crypto derivatives markets recorded $3.41B in total liquidations over the 24-hour period ending August 20, 2026, with 196,027 individual traders caught on the wrong side of price action, according to data published by Coinglass.
The single largest liquidation event during the period was a BTC-USD position on Hyperliquid, valued at $48.8M — standing out as the dominant whale-scale forced exit across all tracked venues.
The scale of the event — nearly 200,000 accounts liquidated within one trading day — signals significant volatility across the broader derivatives market. Data does not specify the long/short breakdown of total liquidations, so directional dominance across the full dataset cannot be confirmed from available figures.
Full liquidation data and venue-level breakdowns are available via Coinglass Liquidation Data.
