  • The recent wave of cryptocurrency liquidations may have reached between $8-10 billion, significantly higher than earlier estimates.

  • The CEO of Bybit has committed to ensuring complete transparency by providing unrestricted access to liquidation data.

Ben Zhou, who co-founded and serves as the CEO of Bybit, indicated that the estimated total liquidation across the market as of February 3 might be around $8-10 billion. This figure is approximately 4-5 times greater than the initial estimate of

$2 billion reported by Coinglass, a service that aggregates crypto derivatives data.

Zhou mentioned that many exchanges, including Bybit itself, limit access to liquidation data via Coinglass.

In response to public demand following substantial losses incurred by top traders during a recent chain reaction of liquidations, he pledged full transparency: “I am concerned that today’s true total liquidations may surpass $2 billion; my estimate should at least be in the range of $8-10 billion. Notably, Bybit experienced liquidations totaling $2.1 billion within a single day. We will start sharing all relevant liquidation information because we are committed to maintaining transparency.”

This suggests an urgent discussion within the industry regarding how exchanges manage and share their liquidation practices with users.

A Call for Transparency from Binance in Light of Recent Events:

In light of these developments, Coinglass is urging Binance—the largest cryptocurrency exchange based on trading volume—to make its liquidation data available.

The aggregator pointed out that Binance had restricted access to such data since mid-2021 due to regulatory scrutiny and potential effects on its perpetual contracts business.
