Terms & Concepts
  • Token: A digital asset issued on a blockchain, often used for payments, governance, or access within a crypto project.
  • Liquidations: Forced closure of leveraged trading positions when losses breach margin requirements, often accelerating price volatility.
  • Longs: Positions that profit if an asset’s price rises; long liquidations occur when falling prices force those trades to close.
