Long and short liquidations of the 20 coins with the most open interest on Binance, Bybit and OKX over the last 24 hours, as the exchanges published them. There is no current read right now, and totals older than an hour are never shown.
No current liquidation totals
The exchanges’ liquidation records did not answer, or the latest read is older than an hour. Rather than show old totals as today’s, the page waits for a fresh read.
Liquidations or the liquidation heatmap?
This page counts liquidations that already happened: the forced orders Binance, Bybit and OKX published over the last 24 hours. A liquidation heatmap shows something else: the price levels where leveraged positions would be liquidated if the price got there, estimated from open interest. One is a record of events, the other a model of levels.
Each exchange’s liquidation orders, as our recorders receive them from its public feed: the records the Agg. Liquidations panel in the AlertaChart app reads, added up the same way as on each coin’s own page. A long liquidation is a forced sell, a short liquidation a forced buy; each order counts at its value in US dollars, and an order the feed repeats counts once.
The 20 coins are the ones with the most open interest on Binance, Bybit and OKX at the latest funding read. Every coin uses the same window: the 24 hours to the time shown at the top. The totals are read again about every 10 minutes and are never shown once they are more than an hour old.
Binance and OKX publish only part of their liquidations. Binance sends at most one liquidation per contract each second, and OKX’s documentation says its liquidation feed “doesn’t represent the total number of liquidations on OKX”. Their figures, and every total that includes them, are minimums. Binance’s stream documentation · OKX’s channel documentation
Not counted: Hyperliquid, Coinbase and every other exchange; coins outside the 20; and the Binance and OKX liquidations their public feeds leave out. A tracker that adds more exchanges or coins shows larger totals.
When our recorder was down for part of the window on an exchange, that exchange’s figure for the coin is marked incomplete. An exchange that does not answer is named, never counted as zero.

Questions about today’s crypto liquidations
What is a crypto liquidation?
The forced close of a leveraged futures position. When losses use up a position’s margin, the exchange closes it at the market: a long is sold, a short is bought back. Exchanges publish these orders, and this page adds them up.
Is this the same as a liquidation heatmap?
No. This page counts liquidations that happened, as the exchanges published them. A liquidation heatmap estimates the price levels where positions would be liquidated, from open interest. AlertaChart has both: this page for the events, the liquidation heatmap pages for the estimated levels.
Why are these totals lower than on other liquidation trackers?
Because they count less, and say so. Binance and OKX publish only part of their liquidations (Binance at most one per contract each second), so some of them never reach a public feed; only Binance, Bybit and OKX are counted; and only the 20 coins with the most open interest. A tracker that adds more exchanges or coins shows larger figures.
How often is this page updated?
About every 10 minutes. Each read covers the 24 hours to that moment, the same window for every coin, and its time is at the top of the page. Totals more than an hour old are not shown.
Where can I see liquidations on a chart?
In the AlertaChart app: open a coin’s perpetual chart, open the Orderflow Toolbox from the Orderflow button and add Agg. Liquidations under Aggregated (all venues). It draws long and short liquidations on Binance, Bybit and OKX candle by candle, for up to 30 days, and is part of the Pro and Elite plans; the crypto charts themselves are free.
