SpaceX stock perpetuals also climbed to $812M notional open interest, concentrated on Hyperliquid and Binance.
Start herePerpetual futures are non-expiring crypto derivatives that use trader-to-trader funding payments and strict liquidation rules to manage price tracking and solvency.

Spot makes you pay with capital and custody, dated futures price in basis to expiry, and perpetuals charge or pay a recurring funding rent.

Funding rates are timed transfers between longs and shorts that keep perpetual futures near spot and can warn when leverage is getting crowded.

Leverage lets a small margin deposit control a larger position, but it adds liquidation triggers and recurring funding costs on perpetual futures.

Liquidation starts when assets no longer cover debt plus interest at an exchange-defined threshold, forcing collateral sales and fees.

Open interest is a leverage inventory gauge, and it only becomes a usable signal when paired with price, volume, long/short ratios, and liquidation maps.
