2Size of ZEC's share of the liquidation total
Short liquidations on ZEC perpetual futures totaled between $34.5 million and $44 million over recent trading sessions.

What to make of it
Treat the $212 million total liquidation figure, the roughly 15% ZEC price move, and the Grayscale ZCSH ETF link as established across sources; the exact date, peak price, and precise ZEC liquidation dollar figure remain unresolved and should not be cited as settled numbers.
