Crypto liquidations hit $545M as Bitcoin and Ether prices drop amid rising U.S. Treasury yields

Bitcoin and Ether prices fell sharply, with Bitcoin dropping to $83,500 and Ether to $2,635, triggering $545 million in crypto liquidations over 24 hours. Most losses came from leveraged long positions, accounting for $447 million of the total $545 million liquidated. The sell-off was influenced by a rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 5.11%, its highest in 19 years, and stronger-than-expected U.S. manufacturing and services data, which increased pressure on risk assets including cryptocurrencies. This trend may continue as macroeconomic factors keep investors cautious about crypto exposure.

Bitcoin trades at Rp1.499.022.000 on Pluang as of Sep 24, 2026 09:21 WIB, down 3.08% in one day. The market shows a slight majority of sell orders at 51%, with a typical hold time of 110 days. Trading volume remains high at Rp815,79 trillion, indicating active investor participation despite recent price drops.
