Rekt is slang for “wrecked“.
It describes a trader who has lost a substantial amount of money, in a variety of potential ways, including on a single trade, lost over the course of many trades or lost just by hodling.
Rekt also describes crypto assets themselves, those that have suffered huge drops in value.
