Shield: The KiloEx Attacker Tagged Address has returned approximately 1.4 million USDT to KiloEx

March 19th — According to monitoring from HyperInsight, Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dipped below $70,000, hitting a low of $69,400. Over the past hour, total BTC liquidations across the network reached approximately $58.2 million, with long positions accounting for nearly 99% of the total. The Hyperliquid platform represented 48.43% of all network liquidations. Further monitoring shows that more than 23% of the past hour’s BTC liquidations stemmed from a whale address starting with 0x9bb on Hyperliquid. As BTC fell to around $70,000, this address suffered two consecutive long-position liquidations totaling 192.4 BTC (roughly $13.5 million). One of these liquidations alone was $10.8 million — the largest single liquidation across the network in the past 24 hours.

As of March 19, Coinglass data shows mainstream centralized exchanges (CEXs) would face cumulative long position liquidation strength of $608 million if Bitcoin drops below $68,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin climbs above $72,000, these CEXs would see cumulative short position liquidation strength reach $856 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not precisely display the number of pending liquidation contracts or the exact value of liquidated contracts. Instead, the bars on these charts represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—i.e., "strength." Accordingly, liquidation charts illustrate how impactful Bitcoin reaching a specific price level will be: higher bars signal a more intense market reaction due to a liquidity cascade once the price hits that threshold.
