Crypto liquidations hit $941.76M in 24 hours as oil nears $103–105 zone

Heightened geopolitical tension and a more defensive risk tone have weighed on crypto, with Bitcoin down about 5.6% over the past week and altcoins broadly softer. Liquidations totaled nearly $941.76 million in 24 hours, led by roughly $871.44 million in long wipes versus about $70.31 million on shorts. The backdrop also included Brent crude climbing toward the $103–105 region and weekly ETF outflows of nearly $1.26 billion for Bitcoin and roughly $215 million for Ethereum.
