BTC perpetuals — common questions
Answered from this pair's current readings, refreshed with the daily sync.
What are BTC's current liquidation levels?
On Hyperliquid, where BTC whale positions are visible address by address, the nearest tracked liquidation sits 8.7% above the $75918 Hyperliquid mark and would force-close $9.33M of short exposure. On the other side, $3.98M of longs liquidate 18.3% below that same mark. Across the exchanges we aggregate, $27.99M of BTC positions were actually liquidated in the last 24 hours.
How much open interest does BTC have right now?
Aggregated open interest in BTC perpetuals is $13.00B: $8.02B on Binance (62%), $4.17B on Bybit (32%) and $810.28M on KuCoin (6%). That position base is -0.9% over 24 hours and -4.2% over the last week. Open interest is 1.05× the pair's 24-hour volume, so positions are being held rather than churned.
What is BTC's funding rate?
Binance settles BTCUSDT funding at 0.0048% every 8 hours, which annualises to roughly 5.2%. Funding is positive, so longs are paying shorts to keep the trade on — the crowd is leaning long and carrying a cost to do it. At that rate a $10,000 position on the long side pays about $1.43 a day to stay open.
Are whales long or short BTC?
Among the ~500 largest Hyperliquid accounts we track, 47 hold positions of $100k or more in BTC: $395.62M long across 25 and $549.52M short across 22 — a net $153.90M short. At the start of the tracked week that net figure was $153.26M short. These are real on-chain positions read off Hyperliquid, not a model output — roughly a third of Binance USDT-perps have a Hyperliquid market, and BTC is one of them.
Is BTC over-leveraged right now?
BTC's leverage-stress score is 0.076 out of 1.0, which we band as low risk. It blends three readings: how big the perp book is next to the token itself ($1564.15B of market cap against $13.00B of open interest), how violently open interest is swinging against the funding rate, and how much of the book is already being force-closed ($27.99M in the last 24 hours). A high score means fragile, not bearish: it says a move would be violent, not which way it would go.
Has BTC seen heavy liquidations lately?
Over the last 30 complete days, 33% of the BTC notional that got liquidated was long positions and 67% was shorts, so the pain has been mostly on the short side. The most recent 24-hour total ranks in the 61st percentile of the last 90 days, meaning today is on the busy side for this pair. The mirrored bar chart on this page plots the daily long/short split for the past year.
BTC/USDT (BTCUSDT) perpetual futures shows a leverage-stress score of 0.076 out of 1.0 (low risk), $13.00B in aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, a funding rate of 0.0048% as of Sep 15, 2026. These are diagnostic readings of market conditions, not a trade signal.
