DUBAI, UAE, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced an update to its Open Interest (OI) calculation methodology, effective June 11, 2026. The exchange will transition from bilateral (dual-sided) OI counting to unilateral (single-counted) OI measurement. The move aligns Bybit's reporting framework with methodologies commonly adopted across global derivatives markets.
While displayed OI figures are expected to appear lower due solely to the updated counting methodology, this reflects a shift in calculation methods only. Traders' actual positions, position limits, margin requirements, profit and loss calculations, and risk exposure remain unaffected.
