SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) Perpetual Futures — Live Data

Market Overview

GLD is the world's largest gold-backed ETF with over $70 billion in assets, providing investors with equity market access to physical gold price exposure.

GLD Perps Data — ETF Category

This page tracks perpetual futures data for ETF contracts including volume, open interest, funding rates, and liquidation flows. ETF perps on decentralized exchanges mirror the exposure of their underlying indices and commodities, making the data directly comparable to index and commodity perp metrics. Open interest in SPY and QQQ perps reflects retail and institutional equity positioning that tends to correlate with crypto market conditions, particularly during tech-driven rallies where BTC and NDX move together. GLD perp funding rates and open interest serve as a proxy for precious metals demand that complements the XAUUSD commodity perp data. Volume trends across ETF perps help identify whether multi-asset traders are rotating between equity, commodity, and crypto exposure on-chain.
