The post What is liquidation in crypto? Health factors & more appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Liquidation is the moment crypto’s leverage machinery takes your collateral, and it happens two very different ways: exchanges force-closing leveraged trades, and DeFi lending protocols auctioning borrowers’ collateral to keeper bots.
