Nominally independent vaults are often in the same trade. When the market moves against them they do not leave one by one, they leave together, through the same liquidity, turning a controlled loss into a cascade. This page measures how much of that is happening, and is honest about how much of it we can see. Click an instrument to see exactly which vaults hold it.
57 days of clusters, swept daily, from 13 August 2026. That is short, and it is short because we started recording it then rather than because nothing happened before. This is a reading we took and stored rather than an event a chain kept, so the series itself begins when we began; the underlying activity may well be reconstructable from an archive node or the venue’s own history, and we have not done it.
Hyperliquid: positions read for 188 of 320 vaults, $95.06M of $273.98M recorded capital (35%). The rest are flat or unread, and the figures above cannot tell those apart.
dYdX: positions read for 0 of 1 vaults, $0.00 of $1.77M recorded capital (0%). The rest are flat or unread, and the figures above cannot tell those apart.
Two ways in. Lending markets: 403 vaults holding $8.07B. Perpetual positions: 320 vaults holding $95.06M. Gross exposure is never divided by capital: a leveraged notional over money is not a share of anything.
Instruments that are both materially covered and one-sided went from 15 to 33 over 57 days of sweeps. More of the book is in a trade that is hard to leave than when we started watching.
Composition
Gross exposure, longs and shorts together rather than netted, because a crowd leaving is a crowd on both sides going through the same book. The tail is a slice rather than a rounding error: dropping the smaller instruments would overstate the largest by whatever they weigh, and here that is close to a third.
The ones in amber are ours to fix rather than limits of what anybody publishes.
Holding more than a quarter of a day of the asset's own trading, across the 177 instruments we could price. This is the list that traps somebody.
A material share of the venue's open interest, held almost entirely on one side, across 178 instruments. An adverse move unwinds these together.
These are different lists on purpose. Coverage measures the share of the contract; exit time measures whether the asset can absorb the position leaving. A crowd can be most of a contract and still walk out in an hour.
