Binance customer service said in a response to user inquiries about losses in AKEUSDT futures trading that AKE saw sharp price swings across the broader market around 05:44 on Sept. 3 (UTC+8). According to the exchange, price action on multiple major trading platforms and on-chain markets was broadly consistent, indicating a market-wide move rather than an isolated pricing anomaly on Binance. Binance also said it does not offer spot trading for AKE, so the AKEUSDT futures price is calculated with reference to spot prices across the wider market instead of a Binance spot market. The liquidation mechanism uses mark price and draws on price data from multiple markets to reduce the impact of abnormal volatility. After reviewing the event, Binance said its system was operating normally and that no issues were found in its pricing mechanism. The exchange described the incident as normal risk associated with leveraged positions during extreme market conditions.
