TokenPost: $745.9M in Crypto Positions Liquidated in 24 Hours to Nov. 5 — Reported Mostly Longs on Binance, OKX, Bybit
TokenPost reports $745.9 million in crypto positions were liquidated during the 24 hours through 7:01 p.m. ET on Nov. 5, with roughly 90% in long liquidations and the bulk attributed to Binance, OKX and Bybit; TokenPost is the sole supplied source for these figures.
The supplied TokenPost article (Enna Lee) is an on‑record market report that publishes a timestamped 24‑hour liquidation tally and attributes discrete numeric claims (total liquidations, long/short split, count of liquidated orders, per‑exchange and per‑asset breakdowns). Under the editorial confirmation policy, on‑record journalistic reporting that attributes discrete, timestamped numeric claims to an identifiable outlet is recorded as confirmed reporting of those published items. Limitations: TokenPost's underlying dataset, aggregation methodology, and raw per‑trade export were not supplied, so independent replication of the exact totals is not possible from the materials provided.

Data, sourcing and limitations
TokenPost’s published note is the sole supplied source for the figures in this report; the summary above is a faithful restatement of that on‑record article by Enna Lee.
TokenPost defines a liquidation operationally as an exchange forcibly closing a trader’s position; that definition is preserved here.
TokenPost did not supply the raw per‑trade export, exchange feed, or an explicit aggregation methodology in the supplied materials, so the exact pipeline used to compute the $745.9M and 118,576 orders cannot be independently verified from the supplied evidence.
- Confirmed: TokenPost’s published numbers and timestamps are on record and have been summarized here.
- Unconfirmed: underlying raw dataset, fee/net treatment of totals, and independent corroboration from exchanges or other data aggregators.
Context — what these numbers mean and what they do not
Liquidations are exchange actions that forcibly close leveraged positions; TokenPost’s report aggregates such events over a 24‑hour window and attributes totals by exchange and asset.
A large liquidation total can reflect elevated volatility, concentrated leverage, or both, but the TokenPost report does not provide instant‑by‑instant market impact analysis, price traces, or whether any single liquidation moved market prices beyond routine intraday effects.
Analysis — interpretation, not new facts
TokenPost’s numbers show a heavy bias toward long liquidations in this window, which could indicate that leveraged long positions were more vulnerable during the period covered.
The exchange concentration TokenPost reports—Binance accounting for the majority of the stated total—suggests the tally may reflect where high volumes of derivatives open interest reside, but TokenPost’s note does not state whether the report covers all exchanges globally or a selected subset.
Because the underlying aggregation methodology and raw feeds were not supplied, analysts should treat the TokenPost figures as an on‑record news tally rather than a fully audited dataset for research use.
Useful reader questions and what to watch next
Did other market data providers or the exchanges named (Binance, OKX, Bybit) publish matching liquidation reports or raw exports for the same 24‑hour window?
Are the totals gross or net of fees and penalties applied at liquidation?
How did prices for BTC, ETH and SOL move during the exact timestamps of the largest reported closures (for example, the $11.8 million BTC long on OKX at 9:41 a.m. ET Nov. 5)?
TokenPost references prior liquidation coverage; readers interested in trends should compare consecutive TokenPost recaps and seek direct exchange disclosures or independent aggregator exports to corroborate.
Current status
This brief documents TokenPost’s on‑record market note and its numeric claims; the article is the only supplied evidentiary source for the figures summarized here.
No additional corroborating datasets or raw exchange exports were provided with the supplied materials; outstanding items listed in the confirmation section remain unconfirmed.
