Crypto Flash Crash Wipes Out $500M in Long Positions

Most of the liquidations involved leveraged long positions on major exchanges, including Binance. The drop highlights how high leverage and thin market liquidity can amplify sudden price moves. Traders remain divided over the cause, with some pointing to market manipulation while others see it as a broader deleveraging event.
