Our own 15-minute panel of Bybit's linear contracts and our own capture of its liquidation stream: on Nov-07 2026 the board held 922 contracts and $5.83B in open bets, one side, and $8.0M of bets was closed by force.
922 contracts 621 crypto + 301 TradFi (stocks, ETFs, FX, energy) · Bybit, Nov-07 2026, measured and published by askthetape.com.
Bybit lists far more than bitcoin. On Nov-07 2026 our panel of its board held 922 contracts — 621 on crypto and 301 on traditional markets, by Bybit's own labels — with $5.83B in open bets, one side. The same day Bybit closed $8.0M of bets by force: longs (bets on a rise) $6.3M, shorts (bets on a fall) $1.7M, across 342 contracts. The card at the top shows that day in one look. The tabs under it carry the charts and the tables: how the money and the count moved over time, what was closed by force contract by contract, where the money went in and out on the day, and the TradFi side by group.
| leg | own daily panel of Bybit's linear contracts (15-minute capture, last snapshot of the UTC day) — file feed `wide_*`: price, funding, open interest, spread and basis for every contract in the snapshot, 96 snapshots on a full day |
|---|---|
| leg · forced closes | own capture of Bybit's public liquidation stream (topic allLiquidation), parsed hourly on our production box from our own order-book recorder's archive — one row per liquidation: time, contract, side, size, price; first full day 2026-06-22. The leg keeps every row it has ever pulled (it adds, never deletes) and drops a row only when time, contract, side, price and size all repeat. |
| 🩸 open interest: one side | 🩸 ONE SIDE (Bybit's own singleOpenInterest) EVERYWHERE — one convention across the whole site, not per page. Bybit and Hyperliquid count BOTH sides of every contract in their public field, so both are halved. Bybit: checked again on the live handles 2026-09-12, openInterest / singleOpenInterest = 2.000000 on all seven symbols probed (BTC, SOL, HYPE, UNI and the TradFi books XAUT, SPX, TSLA — the exchange's convention, not one market's). Hyperliquid reports two-sided open interest — its own note of 2026-09-23: «Two-sided OI is calculated as the sum of long and short positions» — and our own record of its positions agrees: on no market do the tracked longs reach much past half of the field. We halve it to one side, like the other venues. The correction runs over the WHOLE history — neither field has ever been one-sided, so there is no seam to date; until this correction, Hyperliquid was printed here at both sides. This panel carries the same two-sided field and is halved over its whole history. There is no seam on 2026-09-12 in the capture itself — the crypto total moved ×1.016 from Sep-11 to Sep-12; that date is when the site changed its convention, not when the feed changed. |
| 🩸 what the panel is not | 36 of the 922 contracts on 2026-11-07 are dated futures (they expire), not perpetuals, and 67 are settled in USDC. Eleven Bybit books are not in this panel at all: gold (XAU, and XAUT in both margins), silver, WTI oil and six stock and fund books (MSTR, NVDA, QQQ, TSLA, SPY, COIN). Our poller records them apart every 5 minutes, together with the dated gold futures: 15 contracts that held $229.1M in open bets on 2026-11-07, one side — next to $286.9M for the whole TradFi side of this panel. |
| 🩸 completeness | Bybit publishes no liquidation history to check against. Our check is a second capture of ours: the live liquidation feed we run on 21 of the same coins. Over the last 30 closed days the two differ by a median of 0.10% in the number of events on those coins. A separate read of the raw archive for Sep-17 → Sep-23 found the same 131,951 liquidations, none missing and none extra. |
| side | Bybit tags each liquidation with the side of the closing order: Buy closes a long, Sell closes a short (checked on minute prices: before a Buy, price had fallen in 94–96% of cases). |
| price | Bybit prints the bankruptcy price — where the position's margin is used up — not the market price at that second. For BTC and ETH it sits about 0.33% beyond the market, for SOL about 0.5% (the first maintenance-margin tier). |
| classes | Bybit's own labels from its instrument list (symbolType): stock, ETF, commodity and forex = TradFi; innovation = Bybit's innovation zone; the rest = crypto. 0 contracts in the 24 hours are dated futures, not perpetuals; contracts no longer in Bybit's list are shown apart. |
| cadence | panel: 15-minute snapshots, the day's last one at 23:45Z — the card, the open-bets charts and the money tables quote the last CLOSED day (2026-11-07), never the running one. Forced closes: the capture is parsed hourly at :25 UTC, the Forced closes tab and its tables quote the 24 hours to 00:00Z Nov-08. The card's forced closes are the same closed day as the panel. |
