BIRB Basis: Perp vs Spot Premium

Live BIRB basis: the BIRB perpetual futures price against the same exchange's spot price, perp / spot - 1. A positive basis is a futures premium, a negative one a discount. One row per venue pair on Binance and Bybit above the liquidity filter, then the recorded basis history for 24 hours, 7 days and all time.

No BIRB perp/spot pair on Binance or Bybit currently meets the comparable-pair and minimum-liquidity rules ($500K open interest, $1.00M 24h volume on the perp leg), so there is no live basis to show (Aster BIRBUSDT: no same-venue spot market; Binance BIRBUSDT: no same-venue spot market; Bitget BIRBUSDT: no same-venue spot market; Bybit BIRBUSDT: below the liquidity floor; Gate BIRB_USDT: no same-venue spot market; KuCoin BIRBUSDTM: no same-venue spot market; MEXC BIRB_USDT: no same-venue spot market).

BIRB basis history

Perp vs spot, OI-weighted, every pair

Chart: TradingView Lightweight Charts™

How to read it. Basis is perp / spot - 1 on the same exchange, shown live and un-annualised. Green is a premium (perp above spot), red a discount. Pairs need the same venue and quote currency, and the perp leg needs at least $500K open interest and $1.00M 24h volume. Compare every coin on the basis screener, and see BIRB funding rates, which move for related reasons.

BIRB basis FAQ

What is BIRB basis?

BIRB's basis is the gap between its perpetual futures price and its spot price on the same exchange, as a percentage: perp / spot - 1. A positive basis is a futures premium (the perp trades above spot), a negative one a discount. It tends to move with funding rates, because funding exists to pull the perp back to spot.

Why can the chart differ from the table?

The table is the live basis of each pair that clears the minimum-liquidity filter ($500K perp open interest, $1.00M 24h volume), from the latest trade price. The chart and the 7-day average are recorded history: every same-venue, same-quote pair of the coin, OI-weighted, from the perp mark price in 5-minute and hourly snapshots.

Why is Hyperliquid not in the table?

This site tracks no Hyperliquid spot markets, so a Hyperliquid perp has no same-venue spot price to compare against. Basis here covers Binance and Bybit only.

Is a high BIRB futures premium a signal?

Not by itself. A rich premium often means leveraged longs are paying up, which also shows in funding; a stretched premium or discount can unwind quickly. Nothing here is financial advice.
