Crypto Derivatives Live

crypto-derivatives-live gives AI agents live perpetual derivatives data across major exchanges. Each market includes funding rate (current and 8h rate), open interest in USD, mark price, oracle price, mark/oracle divergence, and funding direction (longs pay shorts or vice versa). Covers BTC, ETH, SOL, and top 20 altcoins by open interest on Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Hyperliquid. Updated every 5 minutes.

What agents use this for

• Use this when your agent runs funding rate arbitrage — spot the highest-magnitude funding rates across exchanges before the next settlement
• Use this when your agent monitors leverage unwinding risk — mark/oracle divergence above 0.5% signals forced liquidation pressure
• Use this when your agent builds derivatives market intelligence reports — open interest trends reveal institutional positioning before price moves
