Binance Bitcoin (BTC) recorded open interest
How close is the latest archived hour to this contract’s observed records?
One Binance linear BTCUSDT perpetual contract. Source: Binance public daily metrics files, stored in the permanent hourly archive. These are observed records, not global or exchange-certified all-time highs.
Each timestamp labels an hourly bucket H–H+1h UTC, containing measurements in (H, H+1h]. OI is the last observed value within that bucket, not an intrahour maximum or an official closing fix. Only finished buckets are included. First timestamp wins record ties.
USD valuation includes price changes. Native OI is in underlying BTC units. Neither percentage distance means money withdrawn. Missing or invalid fields remain unavailable independently.
Stale archive: the latest archived hour ended more than 48 hours ago. Comparisons below do not describe current open interest.

53186 archived hours; 53143 have at least one finite positive OI field. 133 partial source hours have fewer than 12 five-minute observations (points); 637862 source observations in total. A full points count does not guarantee both OI fields are present.
Archive progress source dates: 2020-09-01 through 2026-09-26 (2217 processed days). 0 skipped source dates. Skipped dates failed checksum or parsing and may be retried; progress does not certify complete hourly OI.
Missing dates, partial hours and unavailable fields can hide higher observations. These maxima describe the available archive only; they cannot certify that no higher missing observation existed.
