Liquidation History Heatmap · Lighter
Stored futures liquidations for the top 30 coins of the range, one row per coin and one column per hour (7 days) or UTC day (30 days, 1 year). Brighter cells mean more liquidated, on a log scale, so a flush stands out without hiding the quieter coins.
Over the last 1 year, the top 30 coins had $20.1M of short liquidations (8,778 orders); BTC led with $9.0M (45%). The heaviest day was 10 Nov 2026 with $3.4M across these coins. The biggest single cell: BTC on 10 Nov 2026, $3.4M.

Coverage
how complete each exchange's numbers areLighter publishes every liquidation; complete for the markets tracked.
- Binance liquidations sampled: Binance publishes only the latest liquidation per symbol per 1000 milliseconds.
- Bybit Every liquidation (allLiquidation stream).
- Bitget Sampled liquidations (largest per coin and side each second).
- Gate Every liquidation order on USDT perps (futures.public_liquidates, batched each second).
- HTX Every liquidation on USDT swaps (public liquidation_orders stream).
- Aster liquidations sampled, at most one per symbol per second. Added 2026-09-28.
- Lighter Every liquidation on crypto perps (liquidation fills on the public trade stream).
Read the colours as relative. Binance and Bitget send sampled feeds (at most one liquidation per symbol per second), so their share is a lower bound during cascades. Hyperliquid is absent: it has no public all-market liquidation feed. Not collected: Hyperliquid, MEXC, KuCoin. Coins are grouped by ticker across exchanges; sizes are quantity × fill price in US dollars.
How to read it. Rows are the top 30 coins with the most liquidated USD in the range, biggest first; totals and shares cover only these coins, not the whole market; columns are UTC hours (7 days) or UTC days (30 days, 1 year), and the rightmost column is still filling. Colour is on a log scale from the smallest to the largest cell. For daily totals by exchange, see the liquidation history; each coin links to its own liquidation page. Refreshed every minute (7 days) or ten minutes (30 days, 1 year). Not financial advice.
Liquidation heatmap FAQ
What does this heatmap show?
Each row is a coin and each column an hour (7 days) or a UTC day (30 days, 1 year). A cell's colour is the dollar value (or the number of orders) of that coin's futures positions force-closed in that period, added up over every exchange this site records. The 30 coins with the most liquidated USD in the range are shown, biggest first.
Why a log scale?
Liquidations are extremely uneven: one cascade can be a thousand times a quiet hour. On a linear scale a single cell would be bright and everything else dark. On a log scale every step in colour is the same multiple, so both the flush and the normal background stay visible.
Is every liquidation counted?
No, so read the colours as relative. Binance and Bitget publish sampled liquidation feeds (at most one per symbol and second, the largest), so their totals are a lower bound during cascades. Other feeds: Bybit: Every liquidation (allLiquidation stream); Gate: Every liquidation order on USDT perps (futures.public_liquidates, batched each second); HTX: Every liquidation on USDT swaps (public liquidation_orders stream); Aster: liquidations sampled, at most one per symbol per second. Added 2026-09-28; Lighter: Every liquidation on crypto perps (liquidation fills on the public trade stream). Hyperliquid is not included: it has no public all-market liquidation feed.
What do long and short mean here?
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. Pick one side to see which coins were flushed by a drop and which were squeezed by a rally.
