Snapshot from OKX public data, refreshed periodically. The live tape, history and heatmaps update in real time on The Edge.

This page is the at-a-glance read on Bitcoin's derivatives market structure — the funding rate, open interest, and how one-sided positioning is. Read together, they describe how much leverage is committed to BTC and which side is crowded.

Stretched positive funding with rising open interest describes crowded, leveraged longs — the kind of backdrop where a sharp move can cascade into liquidations. Deeply negative funding describes the reverse. The figures above are a snapshot; the direction and rate of change matter more than any single reading, and none of this is a forecast of where BTC goes next.
