XRP enters leverage reset as Binance-led liquidations hit both sides

XRP is undergoing a leverage reset as repeated liquidation waves on Binance wiped out both long and short positions between January 5-7, indicating market instability rather than a clear directional trend. On January 5, short liquidations surged to $24.4M, led by Binance, while long liquidations spiked to $22.9M the following day. Despite the deleveraging, long accounts still represent 69% of total positions, showing crowded and fragile bullish exposure. Derivatives activity, particularly on Binance, continues to dominate short-term price action, with XRP’s movement remaining reactive to futures flows rather than sustained spot demand.

What Does $150 Billion in Annual Derivatives Liquidations Mean for the Market?

According to CoinGlass data, forced liquidations in the cryptocurrency derivatives market reached $150 billion in 2025. While seemingly alarming, this reflects a structural norm in a market where derivatives dominate price discovery. Liquidations act as a periodic cost of leverage, occurring against a backdrop of $85.7 trillion in annual derivatives trading volume. Record-high open interest, crowded long positions, and high leverage—particularly in altcoins—combined with a global risk-off sentiment triggered a major market reversal in October, resulting in over $19 billion in liquidations within days, mostly from long positions. The core issue lies in risk amplification mechanisms: while routine liquidations are absorbed by insurance funds, Automatic Deleveraging (ADL) mechanisms can exacerbate selling during extreme volatility, especially hurting neutral strategies and smaller assets. High exchange dominance (the top four control 62% of derivatives trading) intensified the contagion risk, as synchronized de-risking and similar liquidation logic led to concentrated sell-offs. Infrastructure strain on bridges and fiat channels further hampered arbitrage and liquidity. The $150 billion in yearly liquidations signifies not systemic chaos but the cost of risk transfer. While no default cascades occurred in 2025, the event highlighted structural vulnerabilities of exchange concentration, high leverage, and certain mechanisms—underscoring the need for more robust systems and rational trading practices to prevent future crises.

Crypto Liquidations Topped $150 Billion In 2025, CoinGlass Report Shows

A CoinGlass report on the 2025 crypto derivatives market reveals that total liquidations exceeded $150 billion for the year, averaging $400-500 million daily. The most significant event occurred on October 10th, when Bitcoin’s sharp drop from its all-time high above $126,000 triggered a historic liquidation squeeze. While initially reported at $19 billion, the actual scale likely reached $30-40 billion, with long positions comprising 85-90% of the losses. That day also saw derivatives trading volume surge to $748.3 billion, nearly triple the yearly average of $264.5 billion. Total derivatives volume for 2025 reached $85.70 trillion, reflecting the market’s heavy use of leverage. Bitcoin was trading around $88,200 at the time of reporting.

Average Crypto Trader Losses Reached $500 Million Per Day in 2025

According to a Coinglass report, the total volume of forced liquidations of margin-based trading positions on crypto exchanges neared $150 billion in 2025. The estimated average daily liquidation volume throughout the year ranged from $400 million to $500 million. A record-breaking single-day liquidation event occurred on October 11, accounting for nearly 15% of the annual total with nearly $20 billion in futures positions liquidated. This was triggered by US President Donald Trump's announcement of new 100% tariffs on Chinese imports and export controls on critical software, which sparked fears of a new trade war and caused a sharp shift towards risk-off sentiment. Bitcoin and Ethereum fell by 10-15% at their peak, while many altcoins crashed by 80% or more. The crash exposed key market vulnerabilities, including reliance on opaque liquidation mechanisms, fragile infrastructure under peak load, and a lack of effective circuit breakers common on traditional exchanges. Unlike the Terra (LUNA) collapse in 2022, this event did not lead to a cascade of institutional investor defaults, as the risks were concentrated in specific strategies and assets rather than being systemic.

Bitcoin Futures Structure Favors Bulls as Short Liquidations Accelerate

Bitcoin is attempting to reclaim the $90,000 level as market structure signals suggest a tactical upside. According to analyst Axel Adler, Bitcoin’s Regime Score has entered the +15 to +30 range, historically associated with positive returns, indicating an early recovery phase. Simultaneously, derivatives data show a dominance of short liquidations, creating mechanical buying pressure that supports upward movement. The current Regime Score of +16.3 suggests a favorable risk-reward setup, with backtested 30-day returns averaging +3.8% in this zone. While moving into a full bull regime above +30 has often led to local tops, the current neutral-positive transition and prevailing short liquidations indicate improving market structure and potential near-term gains.

Bitcoin Is Entering A Window For A Santa Rally, Analyst Says

Bitcoin is showing signs of a potential Santa rally, according to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. The market’s current “Regime Score” sits at +16.3, placing it in the upper neutral zone (+15 to +30), which historically has delivered average returns of +3.8% over 30 days. This suggests a tactical bullish setup without excessive optimism. Additionally, the derivatives market shows a skew toward short liquidations, creating mechanical upward pressure as forced buyers enter the market. However, Adler cautions that entering the formal Bull regime (above +30) has historically coincided with local tops. The current “bullish neutrality” offers a favorable window for upside, though a drop in the Regime Score below zero or a shift toward long liquidations would signal exhaustion. Bitcoin traded at $89,864 at the time of writing.
