USDCAD Perps Data — Forex Category

This page displays perpetual futures analytics for forex currency pairs, including trading volume, open interest, funding rates, and liquidation data. Forex perp metrics are particularly useful for understanding dollar strength dynamics that directly influence crypto market conditions — a rising DXY measured through USD pairs often precedes BTC and altcoin selling pressure. Open interest in major pairs like EURUSD and USDJPY reflects macro positioning by crypto-native traders who use on-chain forex perps to hedge currency exposure or express central bank policy views. Funding rate data for forex perps tends to be lower and more stable than crypto perps, providing a reliable baseline for carry calculations.
