    Liquidations, Leverage, and Market Structure Under Stress · Doug Colkitt

    Doug Colkitt, Tessa, Ian

    Former Citadel HFT professional and crypto market maker Doug Colquitt analyzed the historic $20 billion October 10, 2025 liquidation event, attributing the cascade to siloed margin structures, synthetic leverage, and opaque auto-deleveraging protocols. Drawing on this trauma, Colquitt is developing Ambient Finance and the Fogo chain to launch a transparent, open-source perpetual DEX that separates clearing from trading and utilizes dual-flow batch auctions to mitigate predatory high-frequency tactics. Beyond this technical overhaul, he projects that regulatory shifts will soon enable Real-World Asset tokenization to fundamentally replace traditional brokerage settlement rails with faster, mobile-native alternatives.
