Fact Check
The two headline figures in the claim match the cited primary sources exactly: PANews/CoinAnk reports $96.1686M (≈$96.17M) in 24h liquidations, and Odaily/Coinglass reports $91.77M in 1h liquidations. For the 1h Coinglass window, BTC clearly led losses at $72.27M; for the 24h CoinAnk window, BTC and ETH are the two coins broken out in the report, supporting the claim's characterization. A secondary CryptoCity publication independently corroborates the CoinAnk figure.
