Why did ONDO drop 0.83% in 1 minute? Evidence check: ONDO falls in a one-minute move as derivatives show mostly long liquidations · 2026-10-23
The price of ONDO moved sharply lower over a one-minute window, while Bitcoin moved only slightly, according to the tracked market data. The move was mixed in breadth: some other tracked coins moved the same way, while few moved further. On the OKX perpetual swap, funding was negative, open interest was flat, and liquidations were mostly longs and light relative to open interest. No report in the monitored feeds explains the move.
