Crypto Market Sees Largest Liquidation Event Since December 9, 2024
A new wave of crypto liquidations marks the biggest single-day event since early December 2024, signaling heightened market volatility.
Fact Check
The evidence strongly supports the statement. Multiple sources document several massive liquidation events occurring after December 9, 2024. For example, sources describe a major event on December 10, 2024, as the 'largest since 2021'. Subsequent, even larger events are noted in February 2025 and August 2025, with one explicitly described as among the 'largest since Dec 2024'. Therefore, the statement that the market saw its largest liquidation event since that date is factually correct and was true at multiple points in time.
