Positioning summary
Exactly one of the ~500 Hyperliquid accounts we track holds MERL: $140.8K short across 1 position. That is a single address, not the venue — everyone else's book is out of view. No tracked liquidation level sits within 60% of the $0.02272 Hyperliquid mark. That is the 2026-09-15 20:59 UTC whale sweep; the interactive panel below reloads it on its own.

Other erratic movers
MERL sits in the erratic movers cohort — the group our direction model routes it through. These perpetuals share that behaviour, so their leverage tends to build and unwind the way MERL's does:

MERL perpetuals — common questions
Answered from this pair's current readings, refreshed with the daily sync.
How much open interest does MERL have right now?
Aggregated open interest in MERL perpetuals is $3.35M: $1.51M on Binance (45%), $1.13M on Bybit (34%) and $711.7K on KuCoin (21%). That position base is -1.0% over 24 hours and -1.6% over the last week. Open interest is 2.28× the pair's 24-hour volume, so positions are being held rather than churned.
What is MERL's funding rate?
Binance settles MERLUSDT funding at 0.0050% every 8 hours, which annualises to roughly 5.5%. 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 $1.50 a day to stay open.
Are whales long or short MERL?
We can only answer for the ~500 largest Hyperliquid accounts we track, and exactly one of them holds MERL: $140.8K short. One address is a data point, not a verdict — the rest of the venue is not visible to us. 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 MERL is one of them.
Why doesn't MERL have a leverage-stress score?
The stress score only publishes when all three of its inputs are present — market cap versus open interest, the open-interest swing against funding, and 24-hour liquidation volume — and 24-hour liquidation volume is missing for MERLUSDT. We show no score rather than a score built on a zero. Everything else on this page ($3.35M of open interest, funding, price and positioning) is live and unaffected.
Has MERL seen heavy liquidations lately?
Over the last 30 complete days, 91% of the MERL notional that got liquidated was long positions and 9% was shorts, so the pain has been mostly on the long side. The most recent 24-hour total ranks in the 0th percentile of the last 90 days, meaning today is unusually quiet for this pair. The mirrored bar chart on this page plots the daily long/short split for the past year.
How does MERL's open interest compare with its market cap?
MERL carries $22.98M of market cap against $3.35M of perpetual open interest — 6.9 dollars of token value for every dollar of open position. The lower that ratio, the more of the asset is effectively being traded on leverage; below about 5 we treat a pair as crowded, and MERL at 6.9 sits outside that zone.
MERL/USDT (MERLUSDT) perpetual futures shows $3.35M in aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, a funding rate of 0.0050% as of Sep 15, 2026. These are diagnostic readings of market conditions, not a trade signal.
