📈 Open Interest on Perp DEX platforms reaches the highest level in 2026! 🔥
Total Open Interest on decentralized perpetual futures Perp DEXs has surpassed the $20 billion mark, recording its highest level since the start of the year.
And the recovery was strong:
📉 2026 low: about $11 billion
📈 Now: more than $20 billion
🚀 An increase of nearly 80% from the low
Although Open Interest is still below the 2025 peak, its return above $20 billion signals a strong comeback in activity, speculation, and liquidity in On-Chain derivatives markets.
⚠️ An increase in OI also means larger positions are open in the market, so liquidation cascade risks may rise if prices move violently.
🔥 Perp DEXs are regaining momentum... and over $20 billion in open positions are bringing decentralized derivatives back into the spotlight.
