Daily liquidation card FAQ
What does this daily liquidation card show?
The dollar value of crypto futures positions that exchanges force-closed during one UTC day (00:00 to 24:00 UTC), split into longs (closed by a falling price) and shorts (closed by a rising price), by coin and by exchange, with the day's largest single liquidation.
Can I share or cite the card?
Yes. Each day has a permanent page and a 1200×630 image at the same address plus .png. Please link back to the page when you use the numbers or the image.
Is every liquidation counted?
No site sees every liquidation. These come from the exchanges' public feeds, and some publish only a sample (Binance sends at most one liquidation per symbol per second), so totals are a lower bound. Compare days and the long/short balance rather than reading them as exact market totals.
