TAO perpetuals — common questions
Answered from this pair's current readings, refreshed with the daily sync.
What are TAO's current liquidation levels?
Across the exchanges we aggregate, $1.30M of TAO positions were actually liquidated in the last 24 hours. Binance does not publish per-account liquidation prices, so the honest read for TAOUSDT is the realised liquidation flow above plus the long/short split in the liquidation-history chart on this page — not a map of where stops sit.
How much open interest does TAO have right now?
Aggregated open interest in TAO perpetuals is $107.14M: $58.86M on Binance (55%), $33.06M on Bybit (31%) and $15.22M on KuCoin (14%). That position base is +1.1% over 24 hours and -19.3% over the last week. Open interest is 0.82× the pair's 24-hour volume, so positions are turning over faster than the book itself.
What is TAO's funding rate?
Binance settles TAOUSDT 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 TAO?
Among the ~500 largest Hyperliquid accounts we track, 9 hold positions of $100k or more in TAO: $0 long across 0 and $4.99M short across 9 — a net $4.99M short. None of them sits on the long side, which tells you about this roster, not about the venue. At the start of the tracked week that net figure was $6.33M 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 TAO is one of them.
Is TAO over-leveraged right now?
TAO's leverage-stress score is 0.291 out of 1.0, which we band as medium risk. It blends three readings: how big the perp book is next to the token itself ($2.26B of market cap against $107.14M of open interest), how violently open interest is swinging against the funding rate, and how much of the book is already being force-closed ($1.30M 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 TAO seen heavy liquidations lately?
Over the last 30 complete days, 79% of the TAO notional that got liquidated was long positions and 21% was shorts, so the pain has been mostly on the long side. The most recent 24-hour total ranks in the 99th percentile of the last 90 days, meaning today is unusually heavy for this pair. The mirrored bar chart on this page plots the daily long/short split for the past year.
TAO/USDT (TAOUSDT) perpetual futures shows a leverage-stress score of 0.291 out of 1.0 (medium risk), $107.14M in aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, a funding rate of 0.0050% as of Sep 16, 2026. These are diagnostic readings of market conditions, not a trade signal.
