At 13:39 on November 9, the latest HMSTR perpetual contract price was 0.000125 USDT. Over the past 24 hours, HMSTR fell 11.94%. At the same time, the 24-hour contract trading volume was $13.4M, and the market cap was $8.0M.

The funding rate changed from the previous reading of +0.0050% to -0.0028%. Binance perpetual contract funding fees are settled every 8 hours. With a negative rate, longs receive fees at settlement, while shorts pay them. People holding HMSTR long positions receive money every 8 hours, while those holding short positions pay money every 8 hours. The rate changes; this is just the reading at 13:39.

Open interest increased 15.6% from the previous reading. The most recent open interest readings, in order, were $1.8M, $2.1M, $2.4M, and $2.1M. My assessment is that this increase in open interest was mainly driven by shorts, based on the funding rate turning negative while the price fell 11.94% over 24 hours.

It is still unclear whether the increase in open interest is sustained. Open interest fell back to $2.1M after reaching $2.4M, so the 15.6% increase may have been just a one-off jump. The missing data are the long-short account ratio and large individual trades; neither is available this time.
