DeFi Collateral Liquidations Soar As ETH Prices Dip

Over the past 24 hours, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector witnessed a significant surge in collateral liquidations, totaling more than $5.4 million, with a substantial portion linked to Ethereum (ETH) assets amounting to $4.27 million. 

Concerns loom as projections indicate that if ETH prices drop to $3,008, an additional $24 million worth of collateral could face liquidation. 

Notably, on-chain derivatives exchanges such as GMX, Kwenta, and Polynomial experienced liquidations exceeding $52 million within the same timeframe.

At present, ETH is trading at $3,291, reflecting a notable 7% decline for the day, contributing to the heightened volatility in the market.

Amidst this downturn, data from Lookonchain reveals the actions of three astute ETH traders who capitalized on the market dynamics over the past four days, collectively selling 26,946 ETH, equivalent to $95.7 million, and securing profits totaling $39 million.

Trader 0xb82 executed a successful trade by selling 7,300 ETH for $24.4 million in stablecoins via Binance at approximately $3,339, realizing a significant profit of $4.59 million, marking the fifth profitable ETH trade for the trader.

Similarly, trader 0xebf strategically deposited the last 8,870 ETH, valued at $33.1 million, to Binance on March 16 at $3,733, ultimately securing an estimated total profit of $25.3 million, representing a remarkable 55.8% increase.

Meanwhile, Lookonchain data reveals the actions of a savvy whale who recently deposited 13,691 ETH, valued at $9.06 million, to Binance within the past two hours to capitalize on profit-taking opportunities. 

This seasoned trader has exhibited a successful track record, with profitable outcomes in four out of five trades since initiating ETH trading activities on August 9, 2023, accumulating a total profit of $16.9 million.
