A localized flash crash on Binance sent Bitcoin's price plummeting to $72,500 on August 22, 2026, creating a $3,300 divergence from Coinbase.

The incident triggered a cascade of forced liquidations among leveraged traders and has reignited criticism of the exchange's trading infrastructure.

Peter Brandt, chief executive of Factor LLC and a well-known technical analyst, described the episode as part of a recurring pattern of severe stop-outs, pointing to a similar event in October 2025.
