Every crypto exchange saw liquidations during the Oct. 10 liquidation event, Richard Teng told the crowd at CoinDesk's Consensus Hong Kong.on Oct. 10, but every exchange — centralized or decentralized — saw massive liquidations that day after China imposed rare earth metal controls and the U.
S. announced fresh tariffs, said Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng. About 75% of the liquidations took place around 9:00 p.m. ET, alongside two unrelated, isolated issues: a stablecoin depegging and "some slowness in terms of asset transfer," Teng said Thursday at "The U.S. equity market plunged $1.5 trillion in value that day," he said. "The U.S. equity market alone saw $150 billion of liquidation. The crypto market is much smaller. It was about $19 billion. And the liquidation on crypto happened across all the exchanges." Some users were affected by this, which Binance helped support, he said, an action other exchanges did not take. Binance facilitated $34 trillion in trading volume last year, he said, with 300 million users. Trading data does not show that there were any massive withdrawals from the platform.Speaking more broadly, Teng said the crypto market was tracking broader geopolitical tensions but that institutions are still pouring into the sector. "At the macro level, I think people are still uncertain about interest rate movements going forward," he said. "And there's always the trend of geopolitics, tension, etc. Those weigh on these assets such as crypto." However, long-term industry participants will have seen crypto's prices moving cyclically, he said, pointing to how the sector's changed in the past four to six years. "I think what we have to look at is the underlying development," he said. "At this point in time, retail demand is somewhat more muted compared to the past year, but the institutional deployment, the corporate deployment is still strong."The endeavor features a feeder fund to Hamilton Lane's Senior Credit Opportunities Fund , issued and tokenized via Securitize.13 hours ago
