BREAKING
Crypto derivatives markets recorded $1.23B in total liquidations over the 24-hour period ending August 21, 2026, according to data from Coinglass. A total of 140,049 individual trader positions were forcibly closed during that window.
The single largest liquidation order of the period was executed on Hyperliquid’s BTC-USD pair, valued at $25.14M — indicating significant exposure concentration in Bitcoin perpetual futures on that platform.
The scale of forced closures across nearly 140,050 accounts points to broad leverage exposure across the market at the time of the move. When liquidation events of this magnitude occur, they typically reflect positions that failed to meet margin requirements as prices shifted against open trades.
