Largest recorded liquidation days

The largest recorded days of futures liquidations, ranked by total, long or short notional. Only completed UTC days after tracking began are ranked; exchange feeds are sampled and start at different times, so these are lower bounds, not market-wide records.

Coverage

which exchanges send liquidations, and how completely
  • Binance liquidations sampled: Binance publishes only the latest liquidation per symbol per 1000 milliseconds. First stored liquidation Sep 27, 13:18 UTC.
  • Bybit Every liquidation (allLiquidation stream). First stored liquidation Sep 27, 13:18 UTC.
  • Bitget Sampled liquidations (largest per coin and side each second). First stored liquidation Sep 27, 15:22 UTC.
  • Gate Every liquidation order on USDT perps (futures.public_liquidates, batched each second). First stored liquidation Sep 27, 16:06 UTC.
  • HTX Every liquidation on USDT swaps (public liquidation_orders stream). First stored liquidation Sep 27, 15:25 UTC.
  • Aster liquidations sampled, at most one per symbol per second. Added 2026-09-28. First stored liquidation Sep 28, 10:23 UTC.
  • Lighter Every liquidation on crypto perps (liquidation fills on the public trade stream). First stored liquidation Sep 29, 07:09 UTC.

Sampling. Binance, Bitget and Aster publish sampled liquidations, so their totals and the combined totals are lower bounds during cascades. Binance publishes only the latest liquidation per symbol per 1000 milliseconds, so its totals are a lower bound in busy moments. Not included: Hyperliquid, MEXC, KuCoin (no all-market liquidation feed is collected). Sizes are quantity × fill price in US dollars.

How to read it. A long liquidation is a forced sell after the price fell; a short liquidation is a forced buy after it rose. Click a day for its recap, or see the daily history chart and the all-days recap index. Not financial advice.

Liquidation records FAQ

Are these the largest liquidation days ever?

No. They are the largest days this site has recorded, from the exchanges' public liquidation feeds since each feed's first stored liquidation. Binance publishes only a sample during cascades, and the first, partial recording day and today are left out, so true market-wide records can be larger.
