@CryptoBE2@defillama_res@HyperliquidX@Ostium StandX keeps coming up for the metals pairs. Commodity perps peaked at $4.48B in a day last quarter, that corner is growing fast. How's xag liquidity been for you on fills?
@defillama_res@HyperliquidX@Ostium The commodity perp leg is underrated. Tracks with what total volume did today: $33.97B across perp DEXs in 24h, and Hyperliquid by itself was $12.56B, more than every DeFi spot DEX combined ($9.68B). Derivatives quietly became the main onchain market.
Perp DEXs did $33.97B in 24h. Hyperliquid alone was $12.56B of that, more than every spot DEX in DeFi combined ($9.68B). Onchain trading is mostly derivatives now. Source: @DefiLlama#DeFi#perps
@solidintel_x The longs-heavy skew is the real tell. Open interest also dropped 8.5% to $111B, so this is leverage flushing out, not fresh shorts piling in. Big exception is SOL, where OI hit a record even as price fell. That's aggressive short accumulation.
Crypto's worst 2-day liquidation in months: $3B gone. BTC tumbled to $61.3k before bouncing back to $62.5k. SOL got crushed, broke below its Feb low while open interest hit a record (shorts piling in). $1B+ now riding on the $60k put. #Bitcoin#crypto
@GencosmoCheng The SOL tell is wild too. Open interest hit a record while price broke under its Feb low. That's not dip buyers, that's shorts stacking. Alts are leading the way down this time.
Brutal day for crypto. 13 straight days of BTC ETF outflows, $4.37B gone since mid-May. ETH back to $1,880, SOL under its Feb low with open interest at a record (shorts piling in). $1.64B liquidated today, mostly longs. Cash is rotating into AI and gold.
@TedPillows Same setup as Feb 5. Longs piled in way too one-sided, then thin liquidity did the rest. $1.84B gone across 24h. Once the cascade starts the algos just hunt the next cluster of stops down to $66k.
$1.84B in leveraged crypto positions wiped out in 24 hours, the biggest since Feb 5. ETH under $1,900, SOL down 13%, BTC clinging to $66k. Leverage feels like genius on the way up and a trap on the way down. The market always finds the overconfident. #crypto#Ethereum
@stacy_muur Today's print fits the pattern. IBIT alone took -$388.6M, BTC ETFs net -$519M per DefiLlama. If this is tactical rotation, the SOL ETF inflow (+$6.5M today, against the tape) is the interesting tell on where it's going.
Crypto spot ETFs today: BTC -$519.1M, ETH -$90.2M, SOL +$6.5M. IBIT alone bled $388.6M. BTC and ETH funds bleeding while Solana quietly soaks up inflows. Source: @DefiLlama (Farside). #Bitcoin#Solana
$1.84B in leveraged crypto longs wiped out in 24hrs, the biggest blowup since Feb. ETH cracked $1,880, SOL at $75 (both -5%), and BTC ETFs bled $519M yesterday. Institutional capitulation or generational buy zone? #crypto#ETH
Saylor sold Bitcoin. 32 BTC at $77k avg, $2.5M total, to pay the STRC preferred dividend. First sale since 2022. Only 0.004% of their 843,706 BTC stack, but the 'never sell' mantra is officially dead. Precedent matters more than the size.
@Loudevss Add to the lore: network pushed ~75M txs/day through the entire drawdown. Last cycle bottomed on capitulation. This one might bottom on a usage/price gap that gets too obvious to ignore.
Solana just closed 8 red months in a row. First time ever. SOL near $80 now. Yet in May it topped every chain in app revenue at $91M, ahead of Ethereum. Price action and actual usage have rarely been this disconnected. #Solana#SOL
@JA_Maartun@cryptoquant_com Not cooling at all. Yesterday (June 1): IBIT alone bled another -$440.3M. Total BTC ETFs -$483.8M. Day 11 of the IBIT outflow streak per DefiLlama. The 'capital heading for the exit' theme is still very much intact.
@WuBlockchain The OTC angle is what Farside misses. $2B in ETF outflows reads bearish, but long-term funds accumulating through OTC tranches doesn't print on those dashboards. Two different cohorts, two different signals.
Crypto ETF damage from yesterday:
BTC ETFs: -$483.8M
ETH ETFs: -$44.5M
SOL ETFs: $0
IBIT alone: -$440.3M. Day 11 of the outflow streak.
BTC ETF AUM still $100.5B though.

BlackRock's IBIT alone bled $440.3M yesterday. Total BTC ETF outflows hit $483.8M on June 1, plus another $44.5M out of ETH ETFs. Brutal day for the institutional bid. Source: @DefiLlama#Bitcoin#ETF
The memecoin supercycle is mathematically dead. https://t.co/rFAb5VYTLX daily volume collapsed from $3B to $500M because the pvp machine extracted retail to absolute zero.
