Choosing between spot and a perp? This is the data that choice needs. Aggregate OI-weighted perpetual funding, open interest and basis for a coin across venues (CoinGecko, no key): who pays whom (longs crowded vs shorts crowded), the carry you earn or bleed holding the perp, and contango vs backwardation. Verdict neutral / elevated / extreme. Pass symbol=BTC. Funding annualised as an estimate (8h intervals assumed). A market-structure signal, not a price call. Not financial advice.
