Today marks one month since the 10/11 liquidation crash — the largest in crypto history. According to CoinGlass, over $19 billion in derivatives positions were liquidated that day — a figure so massive it would shake any financial market. Yet this number is likely understated. Exchanges like Binance and OKX cap their liquidation APIs to one report per second, even during extreme volatility. In reality, thousands of positions were wiped out simultaneously. The true figure was likely $40–60 billion. After 10/11, market liquidity was devastated. Even for BTC — the most liquid asset — order book depth dropped ~40% and hasn’t recovered. Major market makers suffered heavy losses, leading to thinner books and weaker market resilience. We had no time to mourn. Within minutes, major altcoins like SUI plunged up to 80%, some over 95%, even to zero. Most altcoin liquidity relies on algorithmic market makers. When volatility spiked, MM systems hit circuit breakers — canceling all orders and halting trading. It revealed just how fragile altcoin liquidity truly is. Forced ADL (Auto-Deleveraging) cascades followed: systems matched liquidated long and short positions in a desperate attempt to contain contagion. As Wintermute reported: “Many institutional positions were force-closed at irrational prices. In one case, our short position was closed at $5 when the market price was $1 — completely illogical and impossible to hedge.” So who should be held responsible? Or perhaps, no one ever will be.
