According to @cas_abbe, some exchanges relied on ADL and even seized user deposits after liquidations, underscoring counterparty and liquidation-policy risk for derivatives traders (source: @cas_abbe on X, Oct 13, 2025). According to @cas_abbe, Binance covered $283 million of user losses with its own funds, indicating a user-protection stance over loss socialization (source: @cas_abbe on X, Oct 13, 2025). According to @cas_abbe, this user-first approach underpins Binance’s growth and industry leadership, a factor traders may weigh when allocating leverage and managing ADL exposure across venues (source: @cas_abbe on X, Oct 13, 2025).

According to @52kskew, the latest move in crypto was an unprecedented liquidity crunch and flash crash, comparable in severity to post‑COVID dislocations that took time to normalize, source: @52kskew, X, Oct 11, 2025. The author states that during COVID-era stress, BitMEX was hit the hardest as the dominant perpetual futures venue at the time, source: @52kskew, X, Oct 11, 2025. In the current episode, Binance absorbed the most impact, with HL almost affected as well due to reliance on the same external liquidity provider or market maker, highlighting concentrated third‑party risk across venues, source: @52kskew, X, Oct 11, 2025.

According to @52kskew, Hyperliquid BTC perpetuals and Binance BTC perpetuals simultaneously showed a sharp liquidity crunch that hit liquidations and margins for very large crypto market makers. According to @52kskew, dramatic backstops appeared in the order books, including unusually large bids of approximately 200M and 144M around the 100,000 level on Hyperliquid before and after spreads blew out. According to @52kskew, the cross-exchange patterns indicate a very large liquidity provider and likely multiple market makers were wiped out, with widespread inventory losses. According to @52kskew, such aggressive bids and widened spreads are typically last-resort exchange and MM actions to prevent a perpetual crash, and the industry narrowly avoided a broader disaster. According to @52kskew, traders should closely monitor BTC perp liquidity and spreads on Hyperliquid and Binance—especially depth around 100,000—because these stress points could drive near-term volatility and liquidation cascades.
