Crypto Crash: Liquidations Drove Historic Volatility; Why 24/7 DeFi Lacks Circuit-Breaker Safety Nets

According to the source, crypto prices plunged last week as forced liquidations accelerated selling and produced historic volatility, underscoring how leverage can amplify drawdowns across venues. According to the source, experts noted that Wall Street-style circuit breakers depend on coordinated, centralized halts and would not meaningfully stop on-chain liquidations or cross-exchange price discovery in a 24/7, globally fragmented crypto market. According to the source, the trading takeaway is that downside risk in crypto is governed by exchange- and protocol-level liquidation engines rather than market-wide halts, so monitoring leverage and liquidation dynamics matters more than expecting circuit breakers to intervene.
