Nothing is trapped in $HYPE . That is the whole problem.
OKX open interest on its perp is 113 million dollars against 41.9 million of daily spot turnover: 2.7 times its own cash. $BNB runs at 4.4 times, $ETH at 4.0. Thinnest leverage of the three, on the weakest tape, down 0.44 percent.
Funding agrees. HYPE charges 0.0013 percent per eight hours, about 1.4 percent annualized; BNB charges 0.01 percent, close to 11. With CPI testing December rate odds, carry has a price again, and HYPE is the one trading free.
Free leverage is not dry powder. It is an empty seat: nobody is paying to hold a side, so there is no crowd to liquidate and no squeeze fuel.
I am waiting. Thin leverage means the next move gets paid in spot, not liquidations, and slowly. If funding turns negative while open interest holds above 110 million dollars, shorts are paying rent and I flip this to a squeeze setup.
Data as of today. Not financial advice.
Cheap carry, or absent demand?
