This data is not saying that $1.15t in shares have been sold.
It means that the sum of all the values of all the shares on the exchange is $1.15t less than it was the day before.
All of the same shares still exist and are still owned by someone, with the exception of a few companies being wound up or a few companies being listed for the first time.
