Binance chief executive, Changpeng Zhao confirmed on Twitter today that the world’s largest exchange has executed its first liquidation while testing continues on its new margin trading feature.
CZ tweeted earlier today that they had their first ever margin liquidation on a Bitcoin short. Likely an expensive lesson.
Bitcoin’s price has continued its rise, reaching as much as $11,300 on some exchanges. The coin has since corrected a little. It’s these kinds of price movements that can make margin trading so costly for traders, frequently proving itself to be one of the leading causes of traders losing their money.
As such, CZ took the opportunity to remind traders of the risks and to invest responsibly with their money. “Don’t bet against Bitcoin, and don’t bet [against] b…” the CEO tweeted. The latter part of his comment is likely a reference to Binance Coin.
We had our first Margin liquidation today. Guess what, it was on a #BTC short.
