Vetle Lunde, a senior analyst at K33 Research, has issued a stark warning<\/a> regarding the practices of prominent crypto exchanges concerning the authenticity of liquidation data. In a post on X, Lunde outlines how exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, and OKX have systematically modified their data reporting processes in a way that he claims significantly distorts the true scale of market liquidations.<\/p>\n

Why Crypto Liquidation Data Is Bogus<\/h2>\n

The core of Lunde’s argument revolves around changes implemented by these exchanges around mid-2021. For example, both Binance and Bybit adjusted their liquidation WebSocket API to report only one liquidation per second, ostensibly to “provide a \u2018fair trading<\/a> environment\u2019” and “optimize user data stream,” respectively. Similarly, OKX has implemented a cap, restricting the reporting to one order per second per contract.<\/p>\n

Lunde explains that this modification in the data stream profoundly impacts the market’s transparency, leading to a scenario where liquidation data, a critical metric used to assess market health and trader behavior, is “wildly underreported.” According to Lunde, this has been the case for the past three years, which has implications not only for traders but also for the broader financial analysis of the crypto market.<\/p>\n

Historically, liquidation data has served as a barometer for the market\u2019s leverage levels and has been instrumental in understanding how traders react to sudden price movements and volatility. Accurate liquidation data helps in gauging the market\u2019s risk appetite and in assessing whether a market downturn has effectively purged excessive speculative leverage positions. With this data now being underreported, Lunde suggests that traders and analysts are flying blind.<\/p>\n

Lunde speculates on the motives behind these changes, suggesting that they may be driven by a desire to control the narrative around market stability and trader success. He points out that during the first half of 2021, high-profile liquidations were frequent fodder for media and social media discourse, often painting a picture of high risk and volatility in the crypto markets. By limiting the visibility of such events, exchanges might be trying to cultivate a more stable and trader-friendly image to attract and retain users.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am guessing it\u2019s a PR choice. In H1 2021, liquidation gore was Twitter, media, and everyone\u2019s bread and butter. Constantly figuring at the top of liquidation leaderboards is not aligning with a strategy of attracting as many as possible to trade as much volume as possible,\u201d Lunde remarks.<\/p>\n

Further complicating matters, Lunde hints at the possibility that exchanges might be withholding liquidation data to maintain a competitive edge. \u201cSome exchanges even have interests in investment firms<\/a> that may trade on information that the rest of the market does not have,\u201d the researcher speculates.<\/p>\n

Despite these significant challenges in accessing reliable data, Lunde discusses alternative methods to estimate current liquidation volumes, such as analyzing shifts in open interest or leveraging historical data<\/a> to extrapolate current trends. However, he acknowledges that these methods have their shortcomings. They often fail to accurately reflect the changes in market participant behavior over the years or might overemphasize unusual market events that are not indicative of broader trends.<\/p>\n

Concluding his post, Lunde expresses a deep skepticism about the utility of the currently available liquidation data. He calls for a return to the levels of transparency seen in the past, though he pessimistically notes that such a change is unlikely given current trends.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now, liquidation data is mostly erroneous entertainment and not actionable. I\u2019d welcome a return to past transparency, but I guess we\u2019ve already crossed the Rubicon,\u201d Lunde concludes.<\/p>\n

At press time, BTC traded at $59,540.<\/p>\n

Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies.

Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come. His advocacy is not about opposition but about evolution, about laying the groundwork for a system that prioritizes transparency and equity over secrecy and inequality. As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer. He provides not only news but also thoughtful analysis that connects the dots between daily developments and larger economic theories. His work is a beacon for those lost in the technical jargon often associated with crypto discussions, illuminating the practical implications and benefits of these technologies. In summary, Jake Simmons is not just reporting on a revolution; he wants to be part of it, fully committed to enhancing public understanding and adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. His work is more than just a collection of articles; it\u2019s a resource, a guide, and a companion for anyone ready to explore the potential of this digital frontier.

Through his extensive work with wncen.com and Bitcoinist.com, Jake has become a trusted voice in the crypto community, guiding newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike towards a deeper understanding of this dynamic field. His mission is simple yet profound: to demystify Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and make them accessible to everyone. With a professional career in the Bitcoin and crypto scene that began right after graduating with a degree in Information Systems in 2017, Jake has immersed himself in the industry. Jake joined the NewsBTC Group in late 2022. His educational background provides him with the technical prowess and analytical skills necessary to dissect complex topics and present them in an understandable format. Whether you are a casual reader curious about Bitcoin or an investor seeking to navigate the latest market trends, Jake\u2019s insights offer valuable perspectives that bridge the gap between complex technology and everyday usage. Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies. To him, the current financial system is on the brink of chaos, propelled by unchecked government actions and flawed Keynesian economic policies. Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come. His advocacy is not about opposition but about evolution, about laying the groundwork for a system that prioritizes transparency and equity over secrecy and inequality. As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer. He provides not only news but also thoughtful analysis that connects the dots between daily developments and larger economic theories. His work is a beacon for those lost in the technical jargon often associated with crypto discussions, illuminating the practical implications and benefits of these technologies. In summary, Jake Simmons is not just reporting on a revolution; he wants to be part of it, fully committed to enhancing public understanding and adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. His work is more than just a collection of articles; it\u2019s a resource, a guide, and a companion for anyone ready to explore the potential of this digital frontier. Whether you are taking your first steps into crypto or are a veteran looking to stay on top of the latest trends, Jake\u2019s insights provide clarity and foresight in an often unpredictable industry.
