Market downturn triggers $1.7 billion in liquidations
More than $1.7 billion was liquidated in the past 24 hours after the market tanked. The digital assets are currently in recovery mode as the bleeding takes a breather.
According to Bybt, a cryptocurrency futures trading and information platform, 279,785 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours.
The single largest liquidation order valued at $21.5 million in bitcoin happened on Huobi exchange.
Nearly $1.8 billion in losses
Bitcoin reached a new high of $49,531 late on Valentine’s Day as traders crossed their fingers in the hope that the leading digital asset would break the $50,000 mark.
The excited and optimistic traders went in on long positions as the digital asset looked to reach another historic peak.
But the crypto market was in a mood of its own. The chances of getting to $50K faded - at least momentarily - as bitcoin’s price took a knock and dipped below $46K on Feb. 15.
The downturn led to liquidations. Traders suffered losses worth nearly $1.8 billion in the last 24 hours.

XRP traders caught off-guard
XRP traders were dealt a big blow after the embattled coin took a tumble. The digital asset lost more than 50% of its value after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Ripple over the illegal sale of XRP tokens.
While XRP seemed to be on a recovery path, piggybacking on the bitcoin’s streak, the token pulled back from a high of $0.6.
Traders lost almost $100 million as they placed their bets on XRP’s revival.
Other cryptocurrencies that took a dive include EOS and the high-flying Litecoin and Cardano.
Litecoin peaked at $219 today and plummeted to a low of around $192 before recovering to $208.
Cardano tanked from $0.87 to $0.72 but managed to mount a strong comeback as it trades near $0.87.
The digital asset, which is now the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is targeting to reach $1 per coin.
Several liquidations in 2021
This figure is the third-highest figure for liquidations since the turn of the new year. On Jan. 10, bitcoin tanked from $41,000 to $30,000. Traders long on the digital asset were set back $2.5 billion.
This happened on the same day that Ether’s price fell from a peak of $1,350 to $900.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
