Chip-stock perpetual futures see $52 million liquidated in 10 minutes with Wall Street shut

  • —$51.6 million liquidated between 21:22 and 21:32 UTC, with $38 million from longs
  • —SOXL took the biggest hit at $12.7 million; SanDisk and SK Hynix lost about $10.8 million each
  • —Binance handled $21.9 million of SanDisk trading in the first minute versus $3.1 million on Trade XYZ
  • —Roughly 10 addresses opened shorts against six chip-linked contracts within 1.8 seconds
Why it matters: Weekend prices were set by crypto traders without live share quotes; Monday's U.S. open will show how far they strayed from real levels.
