LINK perpetuals — common questions
Answered from this pair's current readings, refreshed with the daily sync.
What are LINK's current liquidation levels?
On Hyperliquid, where LINK whale positions are visible address by address, the nearest tracked liquidation sits 51.0% below the $10.991 Hyperliquid mark and would force-close $2.24M of long exposure. Across the exchanges we aggregate, $134.8K of LINK positions were actually liquidated in the last 24 hours.
How much open interest does LINK have right now?
Aggregated open interest in LINK perpetuals is $188.67M: $99.16M on Binance (53%), $69.29M on Bybit (37%) and $20.22M on KuCoin (11%). That position base is +0.7% over 24 hours and -16.4% over the last week. Open interest is 1.46× the pair's 24-hour volume, so positions are being held rather than churned.
What is LINK's funding rate?
Binance settles LINKUSDT funding at -0.0017% every 8 hours, which annualises to roughly -1.8%. Funding is negative, so shorts are paying longs — the crowd is leaning short and paying to stay there. At that rate a $10,000 position on the short side pays about $0.50 a day to stay open.
Are whales long or short LINK?
Among the ~500 largest Hyperliquid accounts we track, 13 hold positions of $100k or more in LINK: $7.45M long across 4 and $13.43M short across 9 — a net $5.98M short. At the start of the tracked week that net figure was $673.0K 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 LINK is one of them.
Is LINK over-leveraged right now?
LINK's leverage-stress score is 0.020 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 ($8.66B of market cap against $188.67M of open interest), how violently open interest is swinging against the funding rate, and how much of the book is already being force-closed ($134.8K 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 LINK seen heavy liquidations lately?
Over the last 30 complete days, 47% of the LINK notional that got liquidated was long positions and 53% was shorts, so the pain has been mostly on the short side. The most recent 24-hour total ranks in the 32nd percentile of the last 90 days, meaning today is about normal for this pair. The mirrored bar chart on this page plots the daily long/short split for the past year.
LINK/USDT (LINKUSDT) perpetual futures shows a leverage-stress score of 0.020 out of 1.0 (low risk), $188.67M in aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, a funding rate of -0.0017% as of Sep 15, 2026. These are diagnostic readings of market conditions, not a trade signal.
