Episode 10 – XRP’s $7 Million Liquidation Shock: Inside the 903% Leverage MeltdownIn one of the most violent trading events of the year, XRP’s market imploded under the weight of a 903% liquidation imbalance — wiping out over $7.2 million in long positions within 24 hours. What looked like a small 5% price dip triggered a cascading collapse fueled by overleveraged retail traders, thin liquidity, and possibly institutional opportunism.In this episode, we break down what really happened:How XRP’s 93% long liquidation ratio exposed massive overconfidence among retail tradersThe mechanics of forced liquidations and why thin order books amplify every price moveWhy only 20% of XRP’s total supply being actively traded made the market so fragileThe role of CME futures volume — up 143% in one month — and whether institutions were hedging or manipulatingThe four survival lessons every trader needs: leverage limits, stop-loss discipline, proper margin management, and funding rate awarenessThis is more than a crypto crash — it’s a case study in how leverage, liquidity, and emotion collide to destroy millions in hours.⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered financial or investment advice.
