BTC: Futures Open Interest: Perpetual and Dated (All Assets)

Shown as its 2–31 Oct 2026 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.

Open interest of every coin's perpetual and dated futures that CryptoKeyhole covers, added up, in USD.

Why use it. The size of leverage across the whole crypto futures market, not one coin: rising totals mean traders are adding leverage everywhere, sharp drops mark market-wide deleveraging. How to read it. The top of the stack is the total; the lower band is perpetuals, which hold most speculative leverage, the upper band dated futures. Compare its turns with BTC's price.

Calculation. Per period, the sum over the coins of each coin's closing perpetual open interest, and of its total futures open interest less the perpetual part (dated futures). Source: our own minute-by-minute collection of public futures data across every coin with perpetual futures that CryptoKeyhole covers, from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, Kraken, Bitfinex, Bitget, Gate, Hyperliquid, KuCoin, HTX, Crypto.com and Coinbase (open interest, funding, and the public liquidation feeds we collect), and our own USD price indexes. Each coin counts with the same values its own charts show. The series start on 24 October 2026, the first day our collection held every coin's open interest, funding, liquidations and price; a coin added later joins on the day its collection begins. A period appears once nine in ten of the coins have published it, so the open hour can trail by a few minutes. Venues we do not collect are not included, so totals understate the whole market.
