Chainlink price
Chainlink trades at $14.340 on the Hyperliquid perpetual. Holding it long is paid: shorts pay longs at 0.05% a year, which is $0.10 a week to a $10,000 long. The dominant oracle network, whose token trades with unusually persistent positive funding.
The mark and the funding update every minute. Open interest and 24-hour volume come from the snapshot taken . The 24-hour high and low are the extremes of the last 24 bars of the hourly candle series — the newest of them still open when it was collected — collected every 2 hours and last written at 07:17 UTC.
Period high $15.777, low $6.987, over 220 daily bars. Candles and the volume bars beneath them are green where a bar closed at or above its open and red where it closed below, and green bodies are hollow so direction reads without relying on colour — except 16 of the 111 green candles, whose bodies are too short to outline and drawn solid. No funding band on this chart: the funding rate is quoted at its current value in the cards and the per-venue table below, and its history has its own chart.
What the position costs
The number a price page usually leaves out. A perpetual has no expiry, so nothing pulls it back toward the underlying except the funding payment — which means the rate is not a fee on the side, it is the mechanism, and it is what holding this exposure actually costs.
What leverage costs, per venue
Each venue settles funding on its own interval, so the quoted numbers are not comparable to each other. The weekly column is, because it is the same $10,000 position on all three venues.
| Venue | Interval | Annualised | $10,000 long, per week | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyperliquid | 1h | -0.05% | $0.10 | longs receive |
| Binance | 8h | 3.46% | $6.63 | longs pay |
| Bybit | 8h | -24.67% | $47.32 | longs receive |
How far LINK can move before each leverage closes you
No model and no assumption about who holds what. Given Chainlink's published margin tier — 10× maximum, 5.000% maintenance margin — and the mark of $14.340 at 09:15 UTC, the price this page opened with, these prices are arithmetic. If the price at the top of the page has moved since, these levels have not moved with it; reload to rework them from a newer mark. The corridor is the whole width a position survives: cross either end and it is closed, whatever the funding was doing.
| Leverage | Long closed at | Move down | Short closed at | Corridor width |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10× · max | $13.585 | −5.26% | $15.023 | 10.03% |
| 6× | $12.579 | −12.28% | $15.933 | 23.39% |
| 4× | $11.321 | −21.05% | $17.071 | 40.10% |
| 3× | $10.063 | −29.82% | $18.210 | 56.81% |
These are the levels for one position. Where the market's levels sit — modelled, with the assumptions printed beside them — is the LINK liquidation map.
Where the numbers come from
Every figure on this page is Hyperliquid except the Binance and Bybit rows of the per-venue table above: the mark price, the 24-hour figures, the candles, Hyperliquid's own funding rate and the open interest, all from the same feed the rest of the site reads. Those rows are worked from each venue's own funding rate and settlement interval, which reach this site only because Hyperliquid republishes them in that feed. The price is a perpetual futures price, not a spot price — the contract, not the coin — and the two can diverge.
Until 19 August 2026 this page led with a spot price from a third-party exchange, and showed the basis between that price and the perpetual. Both are gone: the terms governing that data forbid displaying it or anything derived from it, so it was removed rather than kept while the question was argued. Data sources lists every endpoint behind every number here, and what is deliberately absent.
