One coin only: BTC, ETH and SOL rank that coin's own perpetual liquidation days across all its feeds.

Before this site's own feeds began: the Gate liquidation archive ranks Gate-only recorded days since October 2023 from Gate's hourly contract statistics. Its coverage differs, so it is kept separate from this ranking.

Every row is Lighter's own liquidation feed. Day links open the all-exchange daily recap; see Lighter liquidation history for its daily chart.

Coverage

which exchanges send liquidations, and how completely
  • Lighter Every liquidation on crypto perps (liquidation fills on the public trade stream). First stored liquidation 29 Sep 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 all-exchange 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.
