Liquidations Hit $921M as Longs Take Heavy Losses
The sharpest signal came from derivatives. Total crypto liquidations reached $921.05 million in 24 hours, with 172,501 traders liquidated.
| Liquidation Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total 24h Liquidations | $921.05M |
| Long Liquidations | $835.41M |
| Short Liquidations | $85.65M |
| Traders Liquidated | 172,501 |
| Largest Single Liquidation | $15.34M BTC-USD on Hyperliquid |
Bitcoin led the liquidation heatmap with $352.17 million in liquidations, followed by Ethereum at $241.73 million. Other assets accounted for $89.75 million, while XRP, ZEC, HYPE, SUI, DOGE, and NEAR also saw notable liquidations.
The long-heavy wipeout shows that traders were positioned for a rebound, but the market failed to deliver enough upside momentum. With longs making up more than 90% of total liquidations, the move reflects forced deleveraging rather than fresh short aggression.
Short-Term Liquidations Show Two-Way Pressure
The four-hour liquidation data showed $95.05 million in total liquidations, with longs at $55.49 million and shorts at $39.55 million.
| Exchange | 4h Liquidations | Long | Short | Bias |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binance | $39.29M | $19.43M | $19.87M | Slight short bias |
| Hyperliquid | $17.29M | $13.58M | $3.71M | Long-led |
| Bybit | $12.23M | $8.86M | $3.37M | Long-led |
| OKX | $8.01M | $2.91M | $5.11M | Short-led |
Binance remained balanced, while Hyperliquid and Bybit showed stronger long liquidations. OKX showed the opposite, with short liquidations leading in the four-hour window.
Ethereum ETFs See $67M Outflow

BlackRock’s ETHA saw the largest daily outflow at $65.10 million. Fidelity’s FETH posted $2.05 million in outflows, while most other Ethereum ETFs recorded no daily net flow.

| ETHW | Bitwise | $0.00 | $217.89M |
The outflow adds another layer of pressure to Ethereum, which remained above $2,000 but stayed down more than 6% on the week.
HYPE ETF Products Add $3.4M
U.S. HYPE spot ETF products recorded $3.40 million in daily net inflows, with cumulative inflows at $98.76 million. Total net assets stood at $118.97 million, equal to 0.89% of HYPE’s market cap.

Stellar Leads Gainers as Worldcoin Slides
Stellar was one of the strongest visible movers, gaining 29.4% to $0.2071. Allora led the top-gainer list with a 38% move, followed by NEXT at 25.6%, Janction at 26%, and Perle at 17.2%.
| Top Gainer | Price | 24h Move |
|---|---|---|
| Allora | $0.1242 | +38.0% |
| Stellar | $0.2071 | +29.4% |
| NEXT | $0.2766 | +25.6% |
| Janction | $0.003924 | +26.0% |
| Perle | $0.185 | +17.2% |
| Degen | $0.0009152 | +13.8% |
| XMAQUINA | $0.05908 | +13.8% |
| HOME | $0.02748 | +10.4% |
The loser board was led by SEALCOIN, which fell 90.7%. Superfortune dropped 34.1%, Palladium Network fell 27.4%, and Worldcoin declined 18.1%.
| Top Loser | Price | 24h Move |
|---|---|---|
| SEALCOIN | $0.01767 | -90.7% |
| Superfortune | $0.723 | -34.1% |
| Palladium Network | $0.5991 | -27.4% |
| Utya | $0.02346 | -24.6% |

| Xphere | $0.03208 | -19.7% |
| Worldcoin | $0.2807 | -18.1% |
| Comedian | $0.07411 | -17.6% |
Worldcoin’s fall is notable because it was among the strongest gainers in the previous session. The reversal suggests that part of the AI-token rally has moved into profit-taking.
Funding Rates Stay Mixed Across Majors
Funding rates showed a split market. Bitcoin funding remained positive across major exchanges, including 0.0100% on Binance, OKX, Bybit, MEXC, BingX, Bitunix, and LBank.
Ethereum funding was also mostly positive, with Binance at 0.0067%, OKX at 0.0062%, Bybit at 0.0100%, and WhiteBIT at 0.0110%.
XRP funding was more negative across exchanges, including -0.0047% on Binance, -0.0008% on OKX, -0.0074% on Bybit, and -0.0134% on Bitget. This shows traders remain cautious on XRP despite its small intraday price gain.
HYPE funding stayed mostly positive across several venues, while BNB showed a mixed picture with a notable 0.0464% reading on Binance in the far-right funding panel.
Crypto Stocks Outperform the Spot Market
Crypto-linked equities performed better than spot crypto during the session. Robinhood rose 8.03% to $82.355, Coinbase gained 4.30% to $181.260, and Circle rose 3.20% to $105.920.
| Stock | Company | Price | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| HOOD | Robinhood | $82.355 | +8.03% |
| COIN | Coinbase | $181.260 | +4.30% |
| CRCL | Circle | $105.920 | +3.20% |
| XYZ | Block | $73.550 | +2.98% |
| PYPL | PayPal | $44.520 | +1.74% |
| MSTR | Strategy | $153.032 | -0.76% |
| IREN | IREN Ltd. | $64.330 | -5.18% |
| HUT | Hut 8 | $125.140 | +6.38% |
| RIOT | Riot Platforms | $27.985 | +3.88% |
The crypto stock board showed stronger appetite for exchange, payments, and mining names than for spot crypto itself. However, Strategy fell 0.76%, tracking weakness in Bitcoin.
Levels to Watch
Bitcoin’s key support now sits near $73,000. A break below that level could open the door to a deeper move toward the low-$70,000 range. On the upside, BTC needs to reclaim $75,000 first, followed by $76,500, to show that the sell-off is stabilizing.
Ethereum is holding the $2,000 level, which remains the most important short-term support. A sustained move below $2,000 would weaken the market structure further. On the upside, ETH needs to recover $2,080 and then $2,150 to rebuild momentum.
Solana remains weak below $85. A recovery above that zone would be needed before SOL can challenge the $90 area again.
Market Outlook
May 28’s market remains fragile. The small intraday bounce in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin is not enough to offset the broader weekly losses. The bigger story is leverage: more than $921 million in liquidations, led heavily by longs, shows that traders were caught on the wrong side of the move.
Ethereum ETF outflows also add pressure, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for most of the $67.15 million daily net outflow. At the same time, crypto stocks showed relative strength, with Robinhood, Coinbase, Circle, Hut 8, and Riot outperforming the spot market.
The base case for the next 24 to 48 hours is cautious consolidation. Bitcoin needs to hold $73,000 and reclaim $75,000 to avoid another leg lower. Ethereum must defend $2,000. Until those levels are cleared, the market remains vulnerable to another round of long liquidations.
