These alterations meant that exchanges recorded one liquidation per second instead of reporting all liquidations.

Over $1B wiped out in crypto liquidations as global markets suffer

Crypto traders faced significant losses as major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ether, experienced a sharp decline, resulting in over $1 billion in liquidations.

Crypto investors and traders lost approximately $1.08 billion in total liquidations amid uncontrolled falling prices of prominent cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether and Solana.

On Aug. 5, crypto market prices saw a significant decline owing to the weakening global economy, which was catalyzed further by the sudden crash of Japan’s stock market. In the process, nearly 300,000 crypto traders were liquidated from their leveraged positions or collateral trades, according to data from Coinglass.
