LTC perpetuals — common questions
Answered from this pair's current readings, refreshed with the daily sync.
What are LTC's current liquidation levels?
On Hyperliquid, where LTC whale positions are visible address by address, the nearest tracked liquidation sits 43.9% below the $51.386 Hyperliquid mark and would force-close $2.60M of long exposure. Across the exchanges we aggregate, $88.2K of LTC positions were actually liquidated in the last 24 hours.
How much open interest does LTC have right now?
Aggregated open interest in LTC perpetuals is $144.73M: $67.50M on Binance (47%), $61.67M on Bybit (43%) and $15.57M on KuCoin (11%). That position base is -0.9% over 24 hours and -11.3% over the last week. Open interest is 2.86× the pair's 24-hour volume, so positions are being held rather than churned.
What is LTC's funding rate?
Binance settles LTCUSDT funding at -0.0047% every 8 hours, which annualises to roughly -5.2%. 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 $1.41 a day to stay open.
Are whales long or short LTC?
Among the ~500 largest Hyperliquid accounts we track, 7 hold positions of $100k or more in LTC: $2.60M long across 1 and $3.22M short across 6 — a net $616.6K short. At the start of the tracked week that net figure was $1.33M 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 LTC is one of them.
Is LTC over-leveraged right now?
LTC's leverage-stress score is 0.036 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 ($4.12B of market cap against $144.73M of open interest), how violently open interest is swinging against the funding rate, and how much of the book is already being force-closed ($88.2K 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 LTC seen heavy liquidations lately?
Over the last 30 complete days, 72% of the LTC notional that got liquidated was long positions and 28% was shorts, so the pain has been mostly on the long side. The most recent 24-hour total ranks in the 48th 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.
LTC/USDT (LTCUSDT) perpetual futures shows a leverage-stress score of 0.036 out of 1.0 (low risk), $144.73M in aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, a funding rate of -0.0047% as of Sep 15, 2026. These are diagnostic readings of market conditions, not a trade signal.
