1 KSTR = [LIVE_PRICE] USDT | 24h Change: [+/-X.XX%] | Last updated: [TIMESTAMP] ●

The KSTRUSDT price today reflects the live mark price of the KSTR/USDT perpetual contract traded on Bybit. Prices are denominated in USDT (Tether), a USD-pegged stablecoin, making them effectively equivalent to USD for practical purposes. The 24-hour trading volume in the metrics strip shows current market liquidity. Higher volume signals tighter bid-ask spreads and easier order execution. The mark price displayed in the metrics strip is the fair value used for PnL and liquidation calculations, covered in full in the contract overview below.

The 24-hour volume figure reflects current market liquidity for KSTRUSDT. The open interest shows the total value of positions currently active in the market, and the OI 24h change indicates whether new capital is entering (rising OI) or positions are being closed (falling OI). The ATH and ATL figures provide historical price context for assessing where the current KSTR price sits relative to its full trading range.

KSTRUSDT Funding Rate History (30 Days)

[FUNDING RATE HISTORY TABLE/CHART — 30-day display: Date | Rate | Direction]

Historical funding rate data shows the trend of position holding costs over the past 30 days. A sustained run of positive rates indicates the perpetual contract has been trading at a consistent premium to the spot index price; a run of negative rates indicates a persistent discount.

The long/short ratio, where available, reflects the proportion of traders holding net long versus net short positions. A ratio above 1.0 means more accounts are net long; below 1.0 means more accounts are net short. This figure is one of several sentiment indicators and should not be read as a directional trading signal in isolation.

KSTRUSDT Perpetual Contract Overview

A KSTRUSDT perpetual contract is a linear derivative instrument that tracks the price of the KSTR token against USDT with no expiration date, traded on Bybit and settled in USDT (Tether).

KSTRUSDT is a linear perpetual contract, meaning both margin and profit or loss are denominated in USDT, not in KSTR. The maximum amount a trader can lose on any position is capped at the USDT margin deposited. That structure distinguishes KSTRUSDT from inverse perpetual contracts, where margin and PnL are held in the base cryptocurrency. Inverse contracts change how gains and losses accumulate relative to price movements, which is a meaningful difference in risk calculation.

Unlike traditional futures contracts with fixed expiry dates, KSTRUSDT has no settlement date. Positions remain open indefinitely, with traders subject to periodic funding rate payments rather than contract rollovers.

The funding rate mechanism anchors the perpetual price to the underlying KSTR spot price over time. When the perpetual trades at a premium to the index price, the funding rate turns positive: traders holding long positions pay a fee to traders holding short positions at each settlement interval. When the perpetual trades at a discount, the rate turns negative and shorts pay longs. This payment schedule occurs every [FUNDING_INTERVAL] hours and prevents the perpetual price from diverging permanently from spot.

PnL calculations and liquidation triggers use the mark price, not the last traded price. See the FAQ section below for a full explanation of how mark price is derived.

What is KSTR?

KSTR is a cryptocurrency token associated with [PROJECT_NAME], a [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION] operating on the [BLOCKCHAIN_NAME] blockchain.

[PROJECT_NAME] was founded to [PROJECT_MISSION]. Within this ecosystem, KSTR serves as [TOKEN_UTILITY], giving token holders [TOKEN_UTILITY_DETAIL]. The token operates on the [BLOCKCHAIN_NAME] network, which provides the infrastructure for its on-chain transactions and contract interactions.

[CIRCULATING_SUPPLY] KSTR tokens are currently in circulation out of a maximum supply of [MAX_SUPPLY]. Market capitalization represents the total market value of all circulating KSTR tokens, calculated as current price multiplied by circulating supply. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of [FULLY_DILUTED_VALUATION] USDT accounts for all tokens that will ever exist at the current price.

Traders should note the distinction between holding KSTR tokens and trading the KSTRUSDT perpetual contract. Purchasing KSTR on a spot market means acquiring the token directly. Trading the KSTRUSDT perpetual is a derivatives transaction that tracks KSTR's price without transferring token ownership. Profits and losses settle in USDT regardless of what happens to the KSTR token itself.

KSTR spot tokens are available on exchanges listing the KSTR/USDT pair. The KSTRUSDT perpetual contract is traded on Bybit; see the trading guide below for step-by-step instructions. For a full introduction to KSTR and the KSTRUSDT pair, see What Is KSTRUSDT? KSTR Crypto Explained for Beginners.

How to Trade KSTRUSDT Perpetuals

KSTRUSDT perpetual contracts are traded on Bybit, a centralized derivatives exchange, using USDT as both margin and settlement currency.

1. Create or log in to your account on Bybit. First-time registrants must complete identity verification as required by the platform.

2. Deposit USDT into your futures or derivatives wallet. KSTRUSDT is a linear perpetual contract and accepts only USDT as margin. No other currency is accepted for this position.

3. Navigate to the KSTRUSDT perpetual contract in the derivatives or futures section of the platform. Confirm the contract details show "Linear Perpetual" and that the quote currency is USDT.

4. Select your leverage multiplier. KSTRUSDT supports up to [MAX_LEVERAGE]x leverage. Higher leverage brings your liquidation price closer to your entry price, reducing the price movement required to close your position forcibly.

5. Choose your position direction: long (buy) if you expect the KSTR price to rise, or short (sell) if you expect it to fall. Your PnL settles in USDT in either direction.

6. Set your order type and position size. A market order executes at the current price; a limit order executes at your specified price. Enter your position size in USDT or in contract units.

7. Confirm the order and monitor your position. Track the mark price, unrealized PnL, upcoming funding rate payments, and your liquidation price in the trading terminal.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following questions cover live KSTRUSDT data, perpetual contract mechanics, KSTR token background, and trading risk.

What is the current KSTRUSDT price?

The current KSTRUSDT price is displayed in the live widget at the top of this page and updates automatically. The price above represents the value of 1 KSTR in USDT on the KSTRUSDT perpetual contract. KSTRUSDT is priced in USDT (Tether), a USD-pegged stablecoin, making the value effectively equivalent to USD for practical purposes. The mark price shown in the metrics strip may differ slightly from the last traded price on the chart. This difference is the basis: the normal spread between the perpetual contract price and the KSTR spot index price.

What is a perpetual contract in crypto?

A perpetual contract is a type of derivative that tracks the price of an underlying asset with no expiration date. Unlike traditional futures contracts that settle and close on a fixed date, perpetual contracts remain open indefinitely. The funding rate mechanism keeps the perpetual price anchored to the spot price: when the perpetual trades at a premium, long holders pay short holders; when it trades at a discount, short holders pay long holders. KSTRUSDT is a linear perpetual contract, meaning margin and profits are settled in USDT rather than in KSTR.

What is the KSTRUSDT funding rate?

The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between traders holding long and short positions in the KSTRUSDT perpetual contract. When the rate is positive, the perpetual is trading at a premium to the KSTR spot price, and long position holders pay short position holders at each settlement interval. When the rate is negative, the perpetual trades at a discount and short holders pay long holders. Settlements occur every [FUNDING_INTERVAL] hours. For traders holding long positions when funding is positive, the rate represents an ongoing holding cost. When funding turns negative, long holders receive payments from short holders instead.

How is the mark price calculated?

The mark price is a fair value price derived from the KSTR index price plus a decaying basis component, designed to prevent market manipulation from triggering mass liquidations. The index price is the weighted average spot price of KSTR across multiple major exchanges, aggregated to resist short-term manipulation from any single venue. The mark price tracks this index price with a smoothing adjustment. The critical distinction for traders: unrealized PnL and the liquidation threshold are both calculated using the mark price, not the last traded price on the chart. A temporary price wick on the candlestick chart will not trigger liquidation if the mark price does not reach the liquidation level.

What is open interest in KSTRUSDT?

Open interest in KSTRUSDT is the total value of all perpetual contracts currently outstanding: positions that have been opened but not yet closed or settled. Open interest is distinct from 24-hour trading volume. Volume counts every transaction executed within the past 24 hours and resets daily, while open interest counts only active positions and persists across time periods. Rising open interest alongside rising price indicates new capital entering the market. When OI rises while price falls, growing bearish positioning is typically the cause. A decline in open interest signals position unwinding and reduced market participation. The 24h OI change percentage in the metrics strip above shows whether today's market activity is adding or removing positions.

How is liquidation calculated for KSTRUSDT perpetuals?

Liquidation in KSTRUSDT perpetual trading occurs when the mark price reaches the liquidation threshold, a level calculated from your entry price, leverage multiplier, and initial margin. When liquidation triggers, the exchange forcibly closes your position and your initial margin may be partially or fully lost. Higher leverage ratios produce a liquidation price closer to your entry price, leaving less room for the market to move against your position before forced closure. Liquidation is triggered by the mark price, not the last traded price: temporary price wicks on the chart that do not move the mark price will not cause liquidation. Liquidation is an exchange-administered forced closure and is distinct from a stop-loss order, which is a voluntary exit instruction. For detailed liquidation price calculations and leverage mechanics, see the KSTR 20x Leverage Trading Guide.

Risk reminder: Leveraged trading carries the risk of losing more than your deposited margin. Always verify your liquidation price before opening a position.

What leverage is available on KSTRUSDT?

KSTRUSDT perpetual contracts on Bybit support leverage up to [MAX_LEVERAGE]x. Leverage multiplies both potential gains and potential losses relative to your deposited margin. At higher leverage, the liquidation price sits closer to your entry price, meaning a smaller adverse price movement will trigger forced closure. Traders unfamiliar with perpetual contract risk mechanics are advised to start with leverage between 1x and 5x until they are comfortable with how margin, funding rate costs, and liquidation interact on live positions.

What is KSTR cryptocurrency?

KSTR is a cryptocurrency token associated with [PROJECT_NAME], [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION]. The token operates on the [BLOCKCHAIN_NAME] blockchain and is used for [TOKEN_UTILITY] within the [PROJECT_NAME] ecosystem. Current circulating supply stands at [CIRCULATING_SUPPLY] KSTR. For a full breakdown of project details, token utility, and supply metrics, see the "What is KSTR?" section above.

What is the basis in KSTRUSDT trading?

The basis in KSTRUSDT trading is the difference between the perpetual contract's mark price and the KSTR index price. A positive basis means the perpetual is trading at a premium to the spot price, a pattern that typically appears in bullish market conditions where demand for leveraged long exposure is elevated. A negative basis means the perpetual trades at a discount, occurring when bearish sentiment or short-side positioning dominates. The basis is directly related to funding rate direction: a sustained positive basis pushes the funding rate positive, creating an incentive for short sellers to enter and bring the two prices back into alignment. The current basis is displayed in the metrics strip at the top of this page.
