The crypto market has collapsed to historic lows due to Donald Trump's threat to impose new tariffs on China.
Bitcoin, ether, and solanium were hit the hardest, with over $18 billion in liquidations.
CoinGlass said it was "the largest liquidation event in the history of cryptocurrencies."
The crypto market panic coincided with a sharp decline in traditional financial indices, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 recording their worst day in six months.
