$19 Billion Vanished in Hours – Was Binance Really Responsible?#
The October 10 crypto market crash, which wiped out nearly $19 billion–$28 billion in leveraged positions, sparked controversy among major industry leaders.
OKX CEO Star Xu blamed Binance, accusing it of encouraging risky leverage loops using $USDe, a synthetic stablecoin, without proper risk limits.
He claimed this led to extreme APYs, rising systemic risk, and massive liquidations when volatility hit and $USDe depegged. Evgeny Gaevoy (Wintermute) strongly disagreed, saying the crash was a flash crash caused by macroeconomic news, high leverage, low liquidity, and not a Binance software glitch.
Binance denied all accusations, stating its systems worked properly and blaming macro shocks, market-maker risk controls, and Ethereum congestion.
Binance also paid $328 million in compensation to affected users. Many analysts believe President Trump’s tariff announcement on China triggered panic selling, worsening the crash.
