Open interest on July 25, 2026
Open interest is the total value of positions currently open in a market. It is a rough measure of how much capital is committed and how crowded a trade has become. Rising open interest means new money is arriving; a sharp drop often means positions are being closed or liquidated.
Across the perpetuals tracked here, open interest totals about $11.12B. The most committed markets:
- BTC: $2.44B open interest
- ETH: $1.92B open interest
- HYPE: $1.30B open interest
- xyz:SP500: $462.8M open interest
- xyz:SKHX: $462.6M open interest
- SOL: $328.1M open interest
- xyz:XYZ100: $282.3M open interest
- xyz:BRENTOIL: $257.7M open interest
BTC carries the most open interest at $2.44B.
Why this matters Crowded positioning can unwind quickly. When a heavily one-sided market turns, forced liquidations can cascade, and price can move much faster than the underlying news would suggest. That is exactly the environment where a hard stop and sane leverage matter most.
On Hypertrade, a desk reads this same data and can act on it, but every order still passes a risk engine that sizes the position, enforces a stop, and can veto the trade outright. The data informs the decision; it never overrides the risk limits.
The bottom line Open interest shows where conviction, and risk, is concentrated. See the full board on the live markets page.
