Another "bloodbath" in the crypto market is coming.

On January 15th, according to on-chain data monitoring platform, as the price of LIT dropped below $2, a major holder heavily invested in this coin directly got wrecked. This trader had opened a 3x leveraged long position, hoping for a price rebound, but the coin's price plummeted straight down—completely wiping out the position. The final unrealized loss was shocking: over $2.84 million. To put it another way, it's like losing a luxury house in a first-tier city.

Speaking of which, recent market volatility has been quite intense. As a small to mid-cap coin, LIT's liquidity is limited, and its resilience to drops is weak. Using leverage is like dancing on the edge of a knife. While 3x leverage may not seem extreme, in reality, a drop of about 30% or more would trigger a liquidation. The recent decline in LIT precisely hit the life-or-death line for all leveraged traders.

Netizens reacting to this news expressed various sentiments. Some said leverage is like a "wealth accelerator"—either propelling you to the sky or sending you to zero. Others joked: "I bet my youth on the future, and the market made me cry until dawn."

But there are also calm voices reminding everyone: currently, market sentiment is cautious, and the volatility of small-cap coins will only become more wild. Using leverage to bottom fish at this stage is basically handing your head to the opponent. Risk control should always come first.

2.84 million just gone, luckily I didn't have that much money to lose --- Leverage, huh? Leverage is really a fast track to heaven or hell --- Adding leverage to small coins, isn't this just sending yourself to the gun? --- Another chosen one is born, congratulations to this brother --- I wonder who the hell still dares to buy the dip at this time, truly a brave warrior --- 3x leverage isn't extreme? I laughed, that's the definition of extreme --- Market: I just want to see who is the most greedy, then I’ll cut who --- Losing a luxury house worth 2.84 million, what kind of mentality is that? --- Risk control comes first, but 99% of people’s top priority is always greed --- When small and medium coins plunge, leveraged traders will have to be buried together

Here comes again, small coins with leverage. Isn't this just courting death? --- 2.84 million gone, oh my, how big must your heart be to play like this. --- 3x leverage hit the liquidation line, LIT this time is truly precision-guided. --- Wealth accelerator? I think this is just a bankruptcy accelerator. --- Bottom fishing, finally all bought at the floor, this market is really not for humans. --- Why are there still people daring to go long on small coins at this time? I really don't understand. --- 2.84 million... a first-tier luxury house, just gone like that, outrageous. --- Don't even mention 3x, playing with leverage now is basically a suicide operation. --- "I'm betting my youth on the future," but in the end, the market bets on you, and you still win the bet. --- Risk control always comes first? Humans just don't learn from their mistakes, next time will be the same.

28.4 million just disappeared like that, so a 3x leverage is really just a P2P money-giving game.

2.84 million... How strong must this guy's heart be to keep going? I cried for him. Seeing the little flowers swaying in the wind again, why do some people insist on using a magnifying glass to look at the market? 3x leverage stepping on the life-and-death line, this rhythm, the market really is a question setter. Don't bother with tokens that have poor liquidity. Wait, am I also in this trap? DeFi liquidation self-rescue guide, first rule: don't let yourself become the person in the story.
