Bybit will move to single-counted open interest reporting from June 11, 2026. The change will make displayed OI figures appear lower, but traders’ positions, margins and risk exposure will not change. Bybit is changing how it reports open interest across its derivatives markets. The Dubai-based exchange said the update will take effect on June 11, 2026, moving its methodology from bilateral, or dual-sided, counting to unilateral, single-counted measurement.
