Where the numbers come from
- Open interest, funding, staking and whale positioning come from this platform's own polling, tracked since 28 Jul 2026.
- Assistance Fund buybacks come from burn.a1ntel.com's fill log, available since 12 Jun 2026.
- Volume is estimated from daily candles (base volume × mean price), so it can differ slightly from exchange-reported notional.
