Major Whale Losses as Bitcoin Hits New Lows
A significant liquidation event saw a whale lose over $61 million as Bitcoin prices dropped sharply.
It was another sudden drop for Bitcoin early this morning, plunging to its lowest point in over two weeks at below $64,500.
The rapid decline led to a drastic increase in liquidated positions, with estimates nearing $500 million lost within hours, affecting almost 140,000 traders according to CoinGlass data. Notably, one whale was liquidated for a staggering $61.51 million during the BTC downturn, with the event recorded on HTX using the BTC/USDT trading pair.

Another notable victim of the market dip was Machi Big Brother, a Taiwanese-American entrepreneur, previously known as a musician. Recent data from Lookonchain confirmed he faced partial liquidation of his Ethereum (ETH) holdings, as reported earlier by CryptoPotato.
Although suffering a loss of around $28 million, he continues to maintain a long position on Ethereum, holding 1,700 tokens valued at approximately $3.2 million.
ETH’s price faced a rejection at the $2,000 mark over the weekend, with a dip to $1,850, marking the first time it has been at this level since the crash in early February, where it previously hit a low of $1,750.
