ADA Liquidations, Last 12 Hours: Longs vs Shorts

Q: What is the difference between long and short liquidations?

A long liquidation closes a position that bet on a rise, after the price fell; a short liquidation closes a bet on a fall, after the price rose. Mostly longs means a sharp drop, mostly shorts a squeeze.

Coverage

which exchanges send liquidations, and how completely

Binance USDⓈ-M perps and, from 2026-09-28, COIN-M (inverse) perps.
Bybit Every liquidation (allLiquidation stream).
Bitget Sampled liquidations (largest per coin and side each second).
Gate Every liquidation on USDT perps (futures.public_liquidates, batched each second).
HTX Every liquidation on USDT swaps (public liquidation_orders stream).
Aster Crypto perps (stocks excluded): OI every 60s (top 60) or 5 min, funding every 60s.

A lower bound. Binance publishes at most one liquidation per symbol per second (the largest) and Bitget also samples, so their numbers undercount cascades. Hyperliquid publishes no public liquidation stream. Not included: Hyperliquid, MEXC, KuCoin (no public all-market liquidation feed is collected). Sizes are quantity × fill price in US dollars. See data coverage.

Liquidations FAQ

How much ADA was liquidated in the last 24 hours?

The headline on the 24h page is the dollar value of futures positions that exchanges force-closed in the 24 hours up to the time stamp shown, from the exchanges' public liquidation feeds. It is recomputed at most every 30 seconds.

What is the difference between long and short liquidations?

A long liquidation closes a position that bet on a rise, after the price fell; a short liquidation closes a bet on a fall, after the price rose. Mostly longs means a sharp drop, mostly shorts a squeeze.

Is every liquidation counted?

No public source sees every liquidation. Binance and Bitget publish only a sample (Binance at most one liquidation per symbol per second), and Hyperliquid has no public liquidation stream, so these totals are a lower bound. See the coverage list on this page and the coverage page.

How do I cite this number?
