So, the data revealed by CoinGlass is not the real data regarding crypto liquidations as also reported by The Kobeissi Letter.
The team highlighted once again that the crypto industry witnessed its biggest liquidation event in history. Most digital assets dropped between 20-30% last night. Now, XRP is still down by 15%, SOL, by 12%, and DOGE by 18%.
However, Bitcoin price rebounded following a sharp drop earlier today, fueled by optimism about the future.
