Bybit Boosts Liquidation Data Transparency to Strengthen Institutional Appeal
In an effort to enhance market transparency and attract institutional investors, crypto exchange Bybit has made all of its liquidation data fully accessible through an upgraded API.
The upgrade enables updates every 500 milliseconds—twice as fast as the previous one-second refresh rate—ensuring that all liquidation events are captured in real time. This eliminates information gaps and provides a more comprehensive view of market activity.
“The foundation of crypto is transparency. By making liquidation data fully public, we’re equipping traders and analysts with better insights,” said Bybit CEO and co-founder Ben Zhou.
Liquidation data is crucial for identifying market trends, volatility spikes, and key price levels. With real-time access, institutional investors and analysts can make more informed trading decisions.
Earlier this month, crypto markets experienced extreme volatility, leading to reported liquidations of over $2.2 billion in 24 hours. However, Zhou suggested the real figure was much higher—between $8 billion and $10 billion—due to previous API limitations. Bybit’s new system aims to bridge this reporting gap and provide traders with more reliable market intelligence.
