Liquidation

Liquidation occurs when a trader’s collateral is no longer sufficient to cover their leveraged position’s losses, triggering an automated forced closure by the exchange's liquidation engine. It is a critical risk-management mechanism that ensures the solvency of lending protocols and derivative platforms. In 2026, the focus has moved toward MEV-resistant liquidation models that protect users from predatory "cascades." This tag provides essential information on maintenance margins, health factors, and how to avoid liquidation in high-volatility environments.

BitMine Goes on ‘$827M Aggressive’ ETH Buying Spree After Crypto Market Crash

BitMine Immersion Technologies has launched one of the largest Ethereum accumulation moves in corporate history, purchasing over $827 million worth of ETH during the recent crypto market crash. The company, which already holds the world’s largest Ethereum treasury, stated that the acquisition added 202,037 ETH to its reserves, bringing its total to 3,032,188 ETH, approximately 2.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The aggressive buying spree came amid a weekend market sell-off that saw more than $19 billion in leveraged positions liquidated. Over 1.6 million traders were wiped out in 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data, as Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded $5.38 billion and $4.43 billion in long liquidations, respectively. The broader market’s total capitalization dropped by over 9% to $3.8 trillion, with Bitcoin briefly plunging below $102,000. Tom Lee Says Ethereum Entering ‘Supercycle’ as BitMine Nears 5% of ETH Supply BitMine’s latest purchase lifted its total crypto and cash holdings to $13.4 billion as of October 12, including $12.9 billion in crypto assets and “moonshot” investments. The company’s portfolio now includes 3,032,188 ETH, valued at $4,154 per token, 192 BTC, worth approximately $22 million, a $135 million equity stake in Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings, and $104 million in unencumbered cash. BitMine’s chairman, Tom Lee of Fundstrat, said the company took advantage of the temporary market dislocation caused by the liquidation cascade. “Volatility creates deleveraging, and this can cause assets to trade at substantial discounts to fundamentals,” Lee said. “We acquired over 200,000 ETH during the downturn, moving more than halfway toward our goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply.” Lee also reiterated his view that Ethereum is entering what he calls a “Supercycle,” driven by artificial intelligence and the financial sector’s increasing integration with blockchain. BitMine published Lee’s keynote from the Token2049 conference in Singapore as part of its October Chairman’s Message, in which he outlined the company’s long-term thesis for Ethereum accumulation. BitMine’s rapid expansion has positioned it as the largest Ethereum holder globally and the second-largest public crypto treasury overall, behind Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which controls 640,250 BTC valued at roughly $73 billion. BitMine now ranks ahead of other central Ethereum treasuries, including SharpLink and The Ether Machine, which hold 838,730 ETH and 496,710 ETH, respectively, according to SER data.Source: SER Despite the market chaos, BitMine remains one of the most heavily traded U.S.-listed stocks. Fundstrat data shows the company’s ticker, BMNR, has recorded an average five-day trading volume of $3.5 billion as of October 10, ranking 22nd among all U.S. equities, just behind Coinbase and ahead of UnitedHealth. Combined, BitMine and Strategy account for 88% of global digital asset treasury (DAT) trading volume. However, BitMine’s share price has not been immune to volatility, falling 11% over the past week following a short position taken by Kerrisdale Capital, which questioned the sustainability of the company’s business model.Source: Google Finance Ethereum Eyes $10K as Fusaka Upgrade Nears Testnet Phase Ethereum is positioning for another major leap as developers prepare for the Fusaka upgrade, expected to follow the successful Pectra rollout earlier this year. The update, now entering testnet trials, is designed to reduce transaction fees further and lower the cost of becoming a validator, key steps toward improving scalability and accessibility across the network. If Fusaka launches on schedule by late 2025, analysts believe it could strengthen Ethereum’s path toward $10,000, particularly as institutional interest in blockchain tokenization and real-world assets continues to expand. Both Pectra and Fusaka form part of Ethereum’s long-term roadmap to enhance efficiency across the base layer and layer-two networks, such as Arbitrum. Ethereum’s recovery from its previous low of $1,400 gained momentum after Pectra, with ETH/USD trading recently around $3,813. However, volatility has remained high, as shown by a flash crash that wiped out over $3.8 billion in leveraged positions before prices rebounded above $4,100. Technical indicators indicate that ETH is holding above support near $3,720, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting a potential near-term reversal if resistance around $4,050–$4,300 is broken. Meanwhile, renewed commentary from Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has drawn fresh attention to Ethereum’s dual role as a store of value and functional asset. Kiyosaki warned of a looming financial reset and described Ethereum and silver as “hot, hot, hot,” arguing that both combine industrial utility with scarcity

Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It

The post Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin heads into the new week with a clean catalyst: the White House’s tariff brinkmanship with China and a market structure that just absorbed the largest crypto liquidation on record. Markets have marched through the tariff cycle almost beat-for-beat, and as of Monday we are squarely at Step 8 of The Kobeissi Letter’s template: the post-open reassurance from Treasury. The sequence since late week ties cleanly to the blueprint Kobeissi published after “10 months analyzing EVERY single tariff development,” which it summarized as an “EXACT playbook for investors.” Bitcoin Weekly Preview In their words: “1) Trump puts out cryptic post… 2) Trump announces large tariff rate (50%+) and markets crash… 4) After the market closes on Friday, President Trump doubles down… 5) On Saturday, the target… responds… 6) On Sunday… Trump posts an announcement saying he is working on a solution… 7) Futures open… higher Sunday… 8) After the Monday open, Treasury Secretary Bessent appears on live TV and reassures investors… 9–10) over the next 2–4 weeks, officials tease a deal, then announce one, and stocks hit a record high. 11) Repeat.” The Friday crash is the fulcrum. After President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports by November 1, risk assets lurched lower into the US close, with the S&P 500 off 2.7% and the Nasdaq down 3.6% on the day; Bitcoin and the entire crypto suffered the largest single-day liquidation in its history, with roughly $19 billion in positions wiped out across venues. The trigger, size, and timing map precisely to Step 2’s “announce large tariff rate… and markets crash to shake out weak positions,” followed by Step 3’s failed bounce and fresh lows as forced selling cascaded through perps and basis. The weekend then advanced the script. Between late Friday and Saturday, the…

Bitcoin Did Not Crash on Volume: Coinbase Data Reveals What Caused Market Drop

The post Bitcoin Did Not Crash on Volume: Coinbase Data Reveals What Caused Market Drop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market experienced a significant crash over the weekend, liquidating over $19 billion in leveraged bets across various cryptocurrencies. Friday’s crash saw crypto’s worst liquidation in terms of pure volume, with more than 10 times as much dollar value liquidated as the FTX crash in 2022. Bitcoin’s spot trading volume increased amid the sell-off as traders adjusted their positioning. Given the extent of the wipeout, one would naturally assume Friday to be the highest day volume for Bitcoin, but rather an intriguing detail has emerged. In a recent tweet, Scott Melkel, host of the Wolf of All Streets podcast, shared an interesting detail about the Bitcoin price crash using Coinbase data. Melkel pointed out that Friday’s crash was not the highest-volume day for Bitcoin on Coinbase this summer, as there were two bigger days in July, and in both instances, the price barely moved. The Bitcoin price saw small dips, which quickly went up. Interesting detail. Friday’s crash wasn’t even the highest-volume day for Bitcoin on Coinbase this summer.

This wasn’t a… pic.twitter.com/7wtSOQMdU9 — The Wolf Of All Streets (@scottmelker) October 13, 2025 This fact, according to Melkel, explains the market drop. The podcaster believes that the market crash was not a broad-based sell-off; instead, it was a leverage event. Melkel describes it as a “chain reaction of forced liquidations” and not spot panic. Melkel added that this might also indicate that during the worst of the drop, trading on spot exchanges may have been partially frozen, meaning that real buyers could not step in even if they wanted to. On-chain data reveals massive deleveraging According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode,…

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Investments Have Already Topped 2024—Will It Last?

The post Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Investments Have Already Topped 2024—Will It Last? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Crypto ETPs drew $3.17 billion in inflows last week, pushing 2025’s total to a record $48.7 billion. Friday’s market crash saw minimal ETF outflows of just $159 million, suggesting retail investors held positions while institutional traders remained largely unaffected. Bitcoin briefly dropped below $110,000 over the weekend but is recovering, with Ethereum showing a larger gain over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products pulled in $3.17 billion worth of funds last week before spot markets tanked on Friday during tense trade talks between the U.S. and China. Bitcoin funds pulled in $2.6 billion and Ethereum funds saw $338 million worth of new deposits, according to a report from crypto asset manager CoinShares. Last week’s inflows have brought the year-to-date crypto fund deposits to a record $48.7 billion, meaning crypto ETPs have already beat last year’s record flows. There’s some evidence that the crash had an impact on ETF holdings, but not much. “Friday saw little reaction with a paltry $159m outflows,” noted CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill. He added that it’s unlikely retail traders were the ones selling their Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF shares on Friday. “We’ve found that retail holders of ETPs tend to be much ‘stickier’ than institutional investors, who often engage in basis trading,” he told Decrypt, referring to traders who buy long spot and short futures. “Therefore, I’d expect most of the outflows to come from institutional investors who were likely washed out of the basis trade after this recent sell-off, rather than from retail holders—although there was no evidence of this on Friday flows, so it seems that the institutional basis trades (who really move the flows) were not impacted much.” At the time of writing, users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company Dastan, think…

BitMine’s Ethereum Holdings Surge Past 3 Million After $827M Weekend Buy

        Highlights:  BitMine’s Ethereum holdings exceed 3 million ETH worth $12.9 billion. The company now owns 2.5% of Ethereum’s total supply. BitMine ranks among the top 25 most-traded U.S. stocks by volume.  BitMine Immersion Technologies, the largest corporate Ether holder in the world, added more than 202,000 ETH during the sharp dip in the crypto market over the weekend. This move pushed BitMine’s Ethereum holdings to over 3.03 million ETH. These assets have a total value of over $12.9 billion, as per the press release. Chairman Thomas Lee affirmed that the company used more than $827 million to purchase Ether during the crash. The purchasing frenzy occurred with Ethereum falling 12%, which offered what BitMine considered a buying opportunity. Lee remarked that this move pushed the company halfway towards its goal of holding 5% of the total ETH supply. At the moment, BitMine manages about 2.5% of the Ethereum supply, which is 120.7 million tokens. This is a huge step forward compared to other ETH treasury holders such as SharpLink and The Ether Machine. The second largest holder owns less than 850,000 ETH.      BitMine provided its latest holdings update for Oct 13, 2025:       $12.9 billion in total crypto + "moonshots": – 3,032,188 ETH at $4,154 per ETH (Bloomberg)– 192 Bitcoin (BTC)– $135 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and – unencumbered… — Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH (@BitMNR) October 13, 2025  BitMine’s Ethereum Expansion Amid Market Volatility BitMine is now the largest holder of the Ethereum treasury in the world. The recent acquisition follows a liquidation across the market that wiped out more than $19 billion of crypto positions. Leveraged altcoin positions were liquidated by many investors in a cascading sell-off. Regardless of the downturn, BitMine saw the volatility as an opportunity to purchase Ethereum at a discount.  Chairman Lee noted: “The company is confident that ETH is in a supercycle, partly propelled by AI and increased use of blockchain technology by Wall Street.” The average cost of purchase in this recent acquisition was $4,154 purchase price per ETH. These tokens are now part of the growing crypto holdings of BitMine, consisting of 192 BTC and a $135 million investment in Eightco Holdings. BitMine also possesses $104 million in unencumbered cash. Institutional Support and Trading Surge BitMine has attracted some of the leading institutional investors, such as ARK Invest, Founders Fund, Pantera, and Galaxy Digital. These backers promote the company toward the long-term target of owning 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. This amounts to approximately 6 million ETH based on the current circulation. BMNR, the share of BitMine, is now the 22nd most traded stock in the United States in dollar volume. Fundstrat data show that the five-day average daily trading volume stands at $3.5 billion. This positions BMNR right below Coinbase and above UnitedHealth. Source: Bitmine Overall, the crypto and cash assets of BitMine have reached $13.4 billion. This amounts to $12.9 billion of ETH and other crypto holdings, in addition to other moonshot investments. The company is second only to Strategy Inc. (MSTR), the largest public crypto treasury of more than 640,000 BTC, following its recent purchase. Lee stressed that volatility brings about deleveraging and that in this period, the assets tend to be underfundamentally priced. He further added that this mispricing provides investor benefits and aligns with the accumulation strategy of BitMine.    eToro Platform    Best Crypto Exchange   Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users    9.9   Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
