Stress bei KI-Aktien greift auf Kryptomärkte über – Long-Positionen tragen die Verluste

Eine Welle erzwungener Verkäufe erfasste den Kryptomarkt, nachdem ein Ausverkauf bei asiatischen Chipaktien Risikoanlagen unter Druck gesetzt und stark auf steigende Kurse setzende Trader abgestraft hatte. Marktbeobachter zählten innerhalb von 24 Stunden an 10 Börsen Liquidationen gehebelter Positionen im Umfang von rund 803 Millionen US-Dollar. Auf Long-Positionen entfielen etwa 694 Millionen US-Dollar oder 86 Prozent der Gesamtsumme. Rund 172.000 Trader wurden liquidiert. Dabei beliefen sich die erzwungenen Schließungen bei Bitcoin auf knapp 181 Millionen US-Dollar, bei Ethereum auf rund 178 Millionen US-Dollar und bei Solana auf etwa 60 Millionen US-Dollar. Die größte Einzelposition war ein BTC-Long im Wert von 9,65 Millionen US-Dollar auf Binance, der nahe 81.773 US-Dollar geschlossen wurde. Diese Zahlen stimmten weitgehend mit den Berichten von TokenPost und CoinDesk überein.

A wave of forced selling swept through crypto after an Asian chip-stock rout pressured risk assets and punished heavily long traders. Market trackers counted about $803 million in leveraged positions liquidated over 24 hours across 10 exchanges. Long positions accounted for roughly $694 million, or 86 percent of the total. Around 172,000 traders were liquidated, with Bitcoin near $181 million, Ethereum near $178 million and Solana near $60 million in forced closures. The largest single liquidation was a $9.65 million BTC long on Binance that closed near $81,773. These figures were broadly consistent across TokenPost and CoinDesk coverage.
The scale of the long liquidations showed how skewed positioning had become. Because most of the forced closures hit bullish bets, the move behaved more like a classic long flush than a balanced deleveraging event. Traders who had crowded into leveraged longs were quickly pushed out as prices fell, and the resulting selling added momentum to the drop.
The trigger came from Asian chip stocks. South Korea’s KOSPI dropped more than 6 to 7 percent, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell roughly 8 to 10 percent on worries about Chinese rival CXMT’s DRAM advances. That stress spilled into crypto venues that list tokenized chip exposure. Perpetual contracts tied to SanDisk saw roughly $19 million in liquidations, slightly more than XRP, which highlighted how much AI-chip leverage now sits on crypto derivatives platforms. CoinDesk noted that these equity-linked perps were liquidated alongside BTC and ETH as the chip rout hit broader risk sentiment.
The episode underlined that crypto is not only correlated with tech stocks. It now directly hosts leveraged bets on chip names, so an AI-equity shock can mechanically cascade into crypto liquidations. When tokenized semiconductor exposure sells off, the forced selling can spread into major tokens and amplify an already risk-off move.
Despite the shakeout, aggregate perpetuals open interest was only marginally lower over 24 hours and remained around $404 billion. Derivatives volume jumped, which showed that speculative activity stayed high. Bitcoin briefly dipped below $81,000 before rebounding above $83,000 in the same window. Several analyses flagged $80,000 to $82,000 as near-term support and $84,000 to $87,000 as resistance, with attention framed around the next U.S. inflation print and AI-equity sentiment. Market-wide, total crypto market cap was roughly $2.79 trillion, BTC dominance was near 60 percent and a neutral sentiment index suggested a shakeout rather than a full regime change.
The immediate liquidation shock may be over, but the market is not out of danger. If Bitcoin loses the $80,000 to $82,000 area into a negative macro surprise, a fresh wave of forced selling could follow as leverage rebuilds. The interaction between macro data, AI-chip equities and how aggressively traders re-lever will shape whether this remains a one-day shakeout or becomes the start of a deeper deleveraging phase.
An Asian AI-chip sell-off sparked a risk-off move that cascaded through tokenized chip perps and heavily long BTC and ETH positioning, producing about $803 million in crypto liquidations. The flush cleared a chunk of long leverage without breaking key market-cap or dominance structures, but it showed how tightly crypto is now linked to AI and semiconductor narratives. Going forward, macro data, AI-chip equities and trader risk appetite will determine whether the shakeout fades or deepens.
