  • Crypto Market Sees 107% Surge in Liquidations Amid Price Decline and ETF Outflows
    May 16, 2026, 11:57 AM EDT. Crypto market liquidations surged 107% to $700 million as prices fell, triggering the biggest liquidation event in days, according to CoinGlass data. Over 101,000 traders, including one losing $21 million, saw positions closed as Bitcoin dropped below key levels. Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $1 billion in outflows this week, with Ethereum ETFs bleeding $255 million, reflecting waning investor demand. Futures open interest fell 4% to $127 billion. The decline follows rising U.S. inflation, undermining expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts this year, and escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Elevated oil prices at $107 a barrel add inflationary pressure, contributing to market uncertainty. Analysts note that resolution of geopolitical risks could stabilize inflation and prompt Fed rate easing, potentially boosting cryptocurrencies.
