Single Bitcoin Trader Loses $200M as Crypto Bulls See $1B Liquidations
Crypto bulls took a heavy beating on Thursday with over $1.15 billion in liquidations wiping out leveraged positions across major exchanges, marking one of the bloodiest days for crypto markets in recent months.
The largest single liquidation was a bitcoin BTC long position on Binance, valued at $200 million, making it one of the biggest one-off losses in the year so far. It is unclear which trading firm or individual was behind that position, as exchanges don't make that data public.
Data from Coinglass shows over 247,00 traders were liquidated in the 24-hour span. Long traders bore the brunt, accounting for over $1 billion in losses — reflecting overly optimistic positioning after a week of bullish sentiment fueled by Circle's high-profile IPO and a resurgence in U.S.-focused DeFi narratives.
BTC lost more than 3% to trade at $104,700 in Asian afternoon hours, while ether ETH sunk 8% to $2,530. Tokens like solana's SOL SOL and dogecoin DOGE also slid over 8%, while XRP XRP fell to $2.20.
Crypto exchanges Binance and Bybit accounted for more than $834 million in liquidated trades, the most among counterparts.
Liquidations occur when traders use borrowed funds to bet on asset prices and fail to maintain a sufficient margin to cover their positions. Exchanges then forcibly close positions to prevent further losses, a built-in risk feature that often results in chain reactions during volatile moves.

S.F.'s biggest mall loses another clothing store as building's auction is delayed again
San Francisco Centre, the city's biggest mall, is losing yet another store. Clothing retailer Milk Tee is closing after five years. 'Unfortunately, due to the lack of improvement for businesses in the city's environment, high theft, and low sales overall at San Francisco Centre, it has driven us to take on this difficult decision,' the company wrote on Instagram. Products are discounted by 30% to 50%. Dozens of stores including Bloomingdale's, Razer and Kate Spade have left the mall, which had been set to go to auction next week. But the auction was delayed until July 24 — the fifth time it's been rescheduled — according to a listing on First American Title Insurance Company. Reasons for the delay are unclear. In contrast, Japantown and Stonestown Galleria malls are seeing a business boom and new store and restaurant openings. Retail experts credit new Asian retailers, parking and lower crime in those malls for their success.

SharpLink Acquires $463M in Ether, Shares Remain 66% Lower
SharpLink Gaming (SBET), the public firm pivoting to a crypto treasury strategy focused on Ethereum, revealed on Friday it acquired 176,271 ether ETH for nearly $463 million. The purchase makes the firm the largest ETH holder among publicly traded companies, SharpLink said in a press release. The company tapped its $1 billion at-the-market (ATM) common stock share facility for $79 million to help fund the ETH acquisition. The ETH purchase announcement came on the heels of a Thursday regulatory filing that potentially enabled investors in the firm's private placement round to sell shares, sending stock prices down 70% after market hours. Some speculated that the firm might have leaned more heavily into the ATM to announce a bigger larger crypto purchase. Shares remain lower by 66% in Friday action. SharpLink in one of the growing roster of public companies that recently pivoted to add cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets. It raised $450 million earlier this month through a private round from a wide range of investors, including ConsenSys, Galaxy, and Pantera Capital, to buy ETH. Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin also joined the firm as board chairman. Shares exploded 4,300% higher in a bit more than a week following the firm's crypto strategy in May, but have given back more than 90% of the rally this the massive price swings and today's decline, shares still trade around 500% higher than before the treasury in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
