> Eveb worse, say that BTC drops 10% in a very rapid move because of some tough news and panic. The venue puts the orders to sell your position at the -1% mark but because of lack of liquidity these orders get filled at -10% and your loss becomes 10.000 USD. Even if BTC recovers quickly, you keep your loss because the position is closed. That is the problem.
Losses in the Crypto world are limited to the amount of capital you put in a certain position. This has the side effect of (maybe) not collecting the full amount on the up-side. Pretty much all exchanges do this, since it's almost impossible to go after individuals when they go bankrupt.
Now the popular derivatives frameworks have sizable insurance funds for such events; but clawbacks are a thing in the crypto world.
