On a daily scale, the liquidations are up to nearly $600 million, with more than 155,000 traders wrecked.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415971\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415971\" style=\"width: 1360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1415971 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718.png\" alt=\"Crypto Liquidations on CoinGlass\" width=\"1360\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718.png 1360w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-300x98.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-1024x334.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-768x250.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-90x29.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-150x49.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-1200x391.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-1000x326.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-900x293.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-800x261.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-700x228.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-600x195.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-500x163.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-400x130.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-200x65.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-10-182718-100x33.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crypto Liquidations on CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/250m-liquidated-hourly-bitcoin-crashes-below-120k-as-trump-threatens-china\/\">$250M Liquidated Hourly: Bitcoin Crashes Below $120K as Trump Threatens China<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s price took a turn for the worse over the past hour or so after US President Donald Trump threatened China with a new set of tariffs.
