$280 Million in Crypto Shorts Liquidated as Bitcoin Tops $110K

Crypto bears got steamrolled as Bitcoin's relentless rally triggers a bloodbath for short sellers.

The king of crypto just turned $280 million into smoke—proof that betting against Bitcoin remains a career-limiting move. Here's how the massacre unfolded.

Liquidation Dominoes

When BTC pierced $110K, leveraged short positions crumbled like a Jenga tower in a hurricane. Exchanges executed margin calls with surgical precision—no mercy for the undercollateralized.

Market Mechanics at Work

Liquidations beget more liquidations. Each cascade pushed prices higher, trapping bears in a self-reinforcing death spiral. Classic crypto—where the 'free market' is really just a wealth transfer mechanism from the impatient to the diamond-handed.

Wall Street's Tiniest Violins

Meanwhile, traditional finance pundits are busy revising their 'bubble' narratives—right after finishing their 3pm martini lunch. Some things never change.

One truth remains: in crypto, you're either the hammer or the nail. Today, the bears got pounded.
