Ada Long liquidation amount: $4.2 million, 57.47 times that of shorts.

ADA futures saw long liquidations of $4.20 million on October 15, dwarfing short liquidations of just $73,080 — a ratio of roughly 57.47x, per a U.Today report. Total liquidations across Cardano's native token reached approximately $4.27 million, with longs accounting for nearly 98.3% of the total. The lopsided figure indicates leveraged long traders were caught off guard by a sharp downward price move, forcing mass position closures on exchanges. The widely circulated "5,747%" figure in headlines reflects the liquidation ratio expressed as a percentage, not a price move. Liquidations represent the value of forcibly closed positions rather than trader-confirmed losses, so the figure may be revised. Traders should watch whether ADA derivatives positioning normalizes or if further downside pressure triggers additional long liquidations.
