Bitcoin Drop Causes $500M Long Liquidations as Dogecoin, ADA Slide 7%

Blood in the streets as BTC’s 5% nosedive forces leveraged traders to cough up $500M—Dogecoin and Cardano lead altcoin massacre with 7% losses.

Traders who chased the rally got steamrolled by the oldest crypto rule: what goes up must come down. Especially when overleveraged degens treat the market like a roulette wheel.

Silver lining? At least the liquidations spared us another ’institutional adoption’ press release from some hedge fund manager who just discovered wallets.
