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.

Anthropic will launch what is set to be the largest IPO in history next week, aiming to take this title from SpaceX. However, unlike Elon Musk’s conglomerate, large investors will have greater influence over its IPO pricing amid the ongoing turbulence in the artificial intelligence (AI) market.
Both are Tech Giant IPOs, Why is Anthropic's Listing Valuation More Conservative Than SpaceX?
Unlike SpaceX's fixed pricing model, Anthropic adopts the traditional roadshow approach, granting more pricing power to institutional investors. Due to factors such as the Nasdaq downturn, Federal Reserve rate hikes, and AI oversupply, the market environment is under pressure, and previous expectations for a $2 trillion valuation have faded. Analysts point out that the difference in pricing strategies between the two companies essentially reflects the depth of their relationships with the Wall Street capital markets.
