> The largest single liquidation was an ETH/USDT order worth almost $50 million, about 5% of the total.

A broad selloff in Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and XRP triggered nearly $1 billion in liquidations, with the largest single order involving an ETH/USDT order worth almost $50 million.

The largest order represented roughly 5% of the reported total, using the rounded figures. The near-$1 billion aggregate was about 20 times the size of the almost $50 million ETH/USDT position. That comparison separates the scale of the full liquidation wave from the event’s largest single order.

BTC, ETH and XRP were all named in the selloff, while the biggest order was tied specifically to the ETH/USDT pair. Ether therefore appears in both parts of the episode: it was among the assets hit by the broad decline and in the pair involved in the biggest individual liquidation.

The headline figure describes nearly $1 billion in liquidation activity overall; the almost $50 million amount describes one order within that total. The figures place one large ETH/USDT order alongside a liquidation wave roughly 20 times its value, with the three-token selloff as the broader market context.
