The Era of Liquidations: How Leverage Becomes the True Engine of the Crypto Market
Blockchain
In the early stages of the crypto market, price fluctuations were primarily driven by spot trading and capital inflows, with a relatively simple market structure. However, with the rapid development of the derivatives market, leverage has gradually become the dominant force, profoundly reshaping how the market operates. Today, products such as perpetual swaps, margin trading, and leveraged ETFs account for the majority of trading volume, marking the market’s transition into a leverage-centric phase. Within this structure, price movements are no longer determined solely by supply and demand, but are increasingly influenced by position structures, funding rates, and liquidation mechanisms. Many sharp fluctuations are triggered not by news or fundamentals, but by changes in leverage structures and cascading liquidations.
