Crypto Open Interest — OI Across 5 Exchanges + CME
What open interest shows
Open interest (OI) is the total value of outstanding perpetual-futures positions, expressed in US dollars. Rising OI together with price points to fresh capital entering the market; falling OI points to positions being closed. The tool aggregates OI from five exchanges — Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Deribit — into one chart and shows the price line alongside it.
What is on the chart
- Aggregated OI in dollars — total open interest for the selected coin across all exchanges.
- Per-exchange legend — each exchange’s contribution (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Deribit) at the point under the cursor.
- Price line — market context: how open interest moved relative to price.
- Multi-year history and a zoom navigator — daily data since 2020 with period zoom.
CME Bitcoin open interest
The second chart shows open interest in CME Bitcoin futures (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), a gauge of institutional demand. The source is the weekly CFTC reports.
Data comes from public exchange APIs and the CFTC; multi-year history is stored in the database and updates automatically. A rise or fall in open interest is not a trading signal on its own. This page is informational and is not individual investment advice.
