How much money sits in open bets on Binance perpetuals, how accounts and the biggest traders lean, and who is hitting the market. Hourly prints, shown by day.
$7.50B money in open bets BTC on Oct-25 2026, the last day in this build, read from the venue's record, published by askthetape.com.
Binance publishes how much money sits in open bets on its perpetuals, how many accounts lean one way or the other, what its biggest traders hold and whether buyers or sellers are hitting the market. We capture the hourly prints and show each day's last figure for open bets and the day's average for the rest. Historical archive fetched 2026-10-06 from the venue's public endpoint / the public CFTC endpoint; source units and gaps preserved; browser-only.
| leg | Binance futures data endpoints, hourly capture (openInterestHist, globalLongShortAccountRatio, topLongShortPositionRatio, takerlongshortRatio) |
|---|---|
| cadence | hourly capture; the daily view is the last open interest of the day and the mean of the ratios |
| since | 2020-09-01 (BTC) · 2021-12-01 (ETH) · the hourly leg in this build carries 2 symbols (BTC, ETH) and nothing else is drawn here |
| source of the deep history | Binance's public daily archives — the years before our own capture are Binance's own published daily archive, not the live endpoints; the forward leg is our own hourly poll. Named here so a reader knows which half of the line we captured ourselves. |
| note | the page used to be labelled «5-min»: measured on prod 2026-09-11, the five-minute table carries ONE symbol (ZECUSDT) and is not this leg — the carrier here is the hourly capture, and the label now says so |
| 🩸 one venue, two handles | the money-in-open-bets line here is Binance's own hourly openInterestHist.sumOpenInterestValue for BTCUSDT, last hourly print of the UTC day. «How much is bet, on every venue» carries the same venue from a different handle — our own five-minute capture of fapi/v1/openInterest times the mark price, last snapshot of the day. On 2026-10-25 that is $7.5029B here against $7.4869B there, +0.21% apart: same venue, same day, two handles and two stamps of «end of day» |
