Bitcoin and BNB Tumble as Binance Hack Triggers $1.53B Liquidations

1 hour ago 1 sources negative

Key takeaways:

  • The $1.53B liquidation cascade reflects fragile leverage, amplifying BTC and BNB downside beyond the breach.
  • Watch BTC’s $75,000 and BNB’s $680 supports as sentiment shifts risk-off after exchange security shock.
  • Binance’s $3B freeze and reimbursement may limit contagion, but security concerns could pressure BNB.

Bitcoin dropped below $77,000 and BNB fell more than 8% after a security breach at Binance, triggering a wave of forced liquidations across the crypto market.

According to market data, total crypto liquidations reached $1.53 billion, with leveraged long positions accounting for the majority of the losses. Bitcoin now faces a key support test near $75,000 after the sharp selloff, while BNB broke below the $700 level and is watching $680 as the next critical support.

Binance has reportedly frozen $3 billion in assets and pledged to reimburse affected customers. The breach has renewed concerns about exchange security and added selling pressure across major digital assets.
