- Over $1 billion in crypto bets got obliterated after inflation data made everyone panic. Because, you know, that’s what we do best.
- Bitcoin hit a shiny new high above $123,500 before crashing harder than my hopes for a stress-free life. $866 million in long positions? Gone. Just like that. Poof. ✨
- Traders are now glued to U.S. economic reports and Fed whispers like it’s the season finale of their favorite show. Spoiler alert: it’s not going to end well. 😬

So here’s the deal: crypto markets just had a $1 billion garage sale-except no one was buying. Why? Blame hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation numbers. Apparently, when people hear “inflation,” they don’t think, “Oh, great!” They think, “SELL EVERYTHING!” And sell they did.
Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $123,500, which probably made some folks feel like geniuses-for about five minutes. Then came the crash. Dogecoin, the lovable underdog of crypto, dropped 9%. Solana, XRP, and BNB also took hits between 3-7%. It’s like they were playing a game of financial Jenga, and someone sneezed. 😷
Liquidation stats are brutal. Long positions lost $866 million-six times more than short positions. Ether traders got absolutely wrecked, losing $348.9 million. Bitcoin wasn’t far behind at $177.1 million. Even Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin bled millions. Bybit led the carnage with $421.9 million in liquidations, mostly from overleveraged longs. Binance and OKX followed suit, because apparently misery loves company. The biggest single liquidation? A cool $6.25 million on OKX. Ouch. 💸
Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, summed it up perfectly: “Inflation put the brakes on this week’s crypto party.” Thanks, Jeff. We needed that visual of a screeching halt. He added that markets will likely stay stuck until the Fed gives us something cheerful to look forward to. Spoiler: they won’t.
Nick Ruck from LVRG Research chimed in too, saying, “Crypto is now as sensitive to macroeconomic shifts as I am to loud chewing.” Traders are now clinging to every word from the Fed like it’s a breakup text. Labor metrics in September? Oh, we’re watching. You bet we are.
In conclusion, buckle up, folks. September is shaping up to be the next big drama episode in the world of crypto-and let’s face it, we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🎭📈📉
