MANTRA's 88% crash sparks over $71 million in liquidations: Coinglass
Quick Take The OM token plunge has seen over $71.8 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours. The project’s co-founder disclosed that the price movements were caused by “reckless forced closures” initiated by centralized exchanges on OM account holders.
The abrupt crash of MANTRA (OM) has triggered over $71.8 million in liquidations in the past 24 hours, with the token plunging more than 88%.
Specifically, 10 positions each saw liquidations exceeding $1 million, according to Coinglass data . The liquidation data are based on publicly available data — which may understate the true extent of market liquidations.
The token of MANTRA, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on real-world assets, suddenly tanked about 10% within an hour on Sunday before plummeting from $5.21 to its current value of around $0.74 — down 88.2% in the past 24 hours — according to The Block's MANTRA price page .
John Patrick Mullin, the project's co-founder, said in an X post that OM's drastic price movements were triggered by "reckless forced closures initiated by centralized exchanges on OM account holders."
"The timing and depth of the crash suggest that a very sudden closure of account positions was initiated without sufficient warning or notice," Mullin added.
The Block has reached out to Mullin and MANTRA for further comment.
Last year, a Hong Kong court ordered six individuals associated with MANTRA DAO to disclose financial records related to the project following a lawsuit alleging they had misappropriated DAO assets. The defendants argued that the assets are owned by token holders.

SoftBank Group reported a net loss of 1.12 trillion yen in its second fiscal quarter, marking its first quarterly loss in nearly two years. The main reasons are the write-off of nearly $3.7 billion in advance payments due to adjustments in the procurement of power supply equipment for its AI data center in Ohio, USA, a shift of the Vision Fund from profit to loss, and a surge in the cost of high-debt financing. Since the June peak, SoftBank's share price has fallen more than 50%.
