Bitcoin vs. the $19B Crypto Crash: Tariffs, Whales, and Leverage Reset

Bitcoin News Weekly Live | $19B Crypto Liquidation Explained: Bitcoin Crash, Trump Tariffs, and the Leverage Reset

Friday marked the largest liquidation event in crypto history, with over $19 billion in positions wiped out across exchanges and 1.6 million traders liquidated in a single day. In just one hour, Bitcoin fell 13%, while altcoins like ATOM briefly went to zero before rebounding. This historic crash was nearly double the size of 2021’s China mining ban sell-off and it’s forcing everyone to ask: what really caused it?

In today's Bitcoin News Weekly Live, host Rob Wallace and guest Rod Palmer from The Bugle break down the mechanics behind the $19B wipeout, from Trump’s 100% tariff threats to the massive leverage buildup in Bitcoin futures and the suspected coordinated whale attack that may have triggered the collapse.

Topics Covered:
• The $19B crypto liquidation: how 1.6M traders got wiped out overnight
• Bitcoin futures open interest hitting $100B before the crash
• How leverage and perpetual futures amplified the move
• The role of Trump’s tariff tweet and U.S.–China trade fears
• Insider trading concerns: the Hyperliquid whale’s $190M profit
• Why altcoins like ATOM fell harder than Bitcoin
• Auto-Deleverage (ADL) and how liquidity vanished across exchanges
• On-chain data: long-term holders and ETFs stayed steady
• Why every major leverage flush — 2020, 2021, 2023 — sets up new Bitcoin rallies
• What this reset means for the next bull cycle
