USDC perpetuals — common questions
Answered from this pair's current readings, refreshed with the daily sync.
What are USDC's current liquidation levels?
Across the exchanges we aggregate, $17 of USDC positions were actually liquidated in the last 24 hours. Binance does not publish per-account liquidation prices, so the honest read for USDCUSDT 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 USDC have right now?
Aggregated open interest in USDC perpetuals is $17.28M: $4.80M on Binance (28%), $9.96M on Bybit (58%) and $2.53M on KuCoin (15%). That position base is -0.1% over 24 hours and +11.2% over the last week. Open interest is 2.89× the pair's 24-hour volume, so positions are being held rather than churned.
What is USDC's funding rate?
Binance settles USDCUSDT funding at -0.0088% every 8 hours, which annualises to roughly -9.6%. 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 $2.64 a day to stay open.
Is USDC over-leveraged right now?
USDC's leverage-stress score is 0.227 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 ($74.32B of market cap against $17.28M of open interest), how violently open interest is swinging against the funding rate, and how much of the book is already being force-closed ($17 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 USDC seen heavy liquidations lately?
Over the last 30 complete days, 91% of the USDC 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 30th 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.
Is USDC's positioning changing quickly?
USDC's pulse score is 0.405 out of 1.0 — a measure of how unusual its current open-interest, funding and volatility moves are against its own 90-day history, kept deliberately separate from the stress score. The readings behind it right now: open interest -0.1% in a day and an unusually tight trading range. At this level nothing unusual is happening yet.
USDC/USDT (USDCUSDT) perpetual futures shows a leverage-stress score of 0.227 out of 1.0 (low risk), $17.28M in aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, a funding rate of -0.0088% as of Sep 16, 2026. These are diagnostic readings of market conditions, not a trade signal.
