Analysts: split collateral can force liquidation of one leg of a cross-exchange hedge
- —Example: $4.5M CME short and Hyperliquid long swing ±$900K on a 20% BTC move
- —Profit on one exchange cannot be used as margin on another due to separate collateral systems
- —CRX Trade launched a unified collateral pool for Hyperliquid and CME on October 5
- —Galaxy Research put liquidations in the October 10, 2025 crash above $19 billion
Why it matters: Traders running cross-venue hedges should keep margin buffers on each exchange, or one leg may be force-closed.
