How it's counted. Open interest is the USD value of open perpetual positions (one side) at the mark price, summed over the markets this site tracks; stablecoin pairs are left out. Shared coins are coins with a perpetual on both exchanges (Hyperliquid HIP-3 markets excluded); where an exchange lists several perps for a coin, the one with the most open interest is used. Funding is the current 8-hour equivalent; stale or missing funding is shown as —. The spread is Bitget minus KuCoin, only when both representatives have current funding.
