Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin Plunge as Crypto Liquidations Top $1.1 Billion

After a rough October that didn’t produce the expected “Uptober” gains for Bitcoin and other top crypto assets, November’s getting off to a rough start.

Major crypto assets are deep in the red so far on Monday, with Bitcoin diving by 4% and altcoins showing much larger losses. All the while, liquidations are piling up, with approximately $1.16 billion worth of positions zapped over the last 24 hours per data from CoinGlass.

Bitcoin has fallen 4% on the day to a recent price of $105,699, the lowest since October 17, per CoinGecko.

Ethereum and other alts have been hit much harder, though, with ETH diving about 7% to $3,583—a nearly three-month low. XRP has fallen about 7% to $2.33, while BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin are all showing daily dives around 9% as of this writing.
