Dogecoin Traders Face $65M Loss in 24 Hours Amid 2025's Largest Liquidation Event

Dogecoin Traders Suffer $65 Million Loss in 24 Hours

In the past 24 hours, Dogecoin traders have experienced substantial losses, totaling over $65 million. This represents the largest liquidation event of 2025, according to data from Coinglass.

Liquidation Breakdown:

Long traders bore the brunt of these losses, with $54.81 million in liquidations, while short traders lost $7.90 million. The initial price surge to $0.43 triggered short liquidations, but as the price fell to $0.35, long positions were heavily impacted.

Market-Wide Impact:

This liquidation was not isolated to Dogecoin. The overall crypto market witnessed over $1 billion in liquidations within 24 hours, making it the largest such event this year. Long positions accounted for $903.59 million of these losses, demonstrating the market's susceptibility to abrupt price fluctuations.

The decline in Dogecoin's value coincided with a dip in Bitcoin's price from $106,000 to $100,000, which dragged down altcoins, including DOGE. This chain reaction was partly attributed to the unexpected launch of the meme coin 'MELANIA' by former US First Lady Melania Trump, which redirected liquidity from existing cryptocurrencies.

Outlook for Traders:

Crypto analyst Kevin Capital offers a glimmer of hope for traders, suggesting that the market cycle for Dogecoin is not yet over. He highlights that DOGE's gains since November 2024, driven by the election victory of Donald Trump and the anticipation of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), have boosted its value from $0.11.

Capital advises Dogecoin investors to remain optimistic, as the current setback is part of a larger market cycle. He believes that DOGE could rebound in the coming months, supported by its strong community and growing use cases.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at around $0.36, representing an 8% decline in the past 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap.
