xyz:CL / BTC is a synthetic pair on EzPairs: a long position in the xyz:CL perpetual held against a short position in the BTC perpetual, both settled on Hyperliquid. No exchange quotes this pair directly, so every figure on this page is derived from the two legs' own daily closes rather than from a pair-level feed. The base leg is commodity-referenced and the quote leg is crypto. Over the 90 days to 29 July 2026, the daily simple returns of the two legs had a Pearson correlation of -0.22. That is a description of the window measured and carries no claim about what either leg does next.

Market snapshot

Venue figures for each leg, from the committed market manifest rather than a live feed. This is a snapshot, — not a current quote, and not updated by this page after it is built.

BTCQuote — the short leg63,825.00$2.36B$2.14B40x

No exchange quotes xyz:CL / BTC directly, so there is no pair-level volume anywhere. EzPairs proxies the pair's tradeable size by the thinner of the two legs, which puts it at $396.7M of 24-hour volume and $164.4M of open interest in this snapshot. That is a proxy this site defines, not a figure reported by the venue.

Shared history behind these figures

204 overlapping daily closes shared by xyz:CL and BTC were available when these figures were computed, the earliest dated 6 January 2026. That is shorter than the longest windows this dataset asks for, so the 365-day figure below is computed over 204 days, not over the length the label asks for. They are labelled with the window that was actually used.

Correlation

Pearson correlation of the two legs' daily simple returns, over the last N overlapping daily closes. .

Correlation of daily returns for xyz:CL / BTC
MeasureValueWindow used
Correlation of daily returns (30d)-0.2930 daily closes
Correlation of daily returns (90d)-0.2290 daily closes
Correlation of daily returns (365d)requested as 365 days; only 204 overlapping closes exist-0.28204 daily closes

Each track runs from −1 to +1 with a tick at zero, and is the same number as the figure beside it. Where nothing was measured there is no track.

Across the 89 daily returns those 90 closes produce, the two legs' returns moved in opposite directions weakly. This describes the window measured; correlation between two markets is not a fixed property and this figure is recomputed from new closes rather than carried forward.

Ratio and where it sat in its own history

The ratio is xyz:CL's close divided by BTC's at the most recent shared daily candle. The rows beneath it place that single observation inside the distribution of the ratio over each window. .

At the most recent shared close the ratio sat close to its mean over the 90-day window. This is a description of where one observation fell inside a measured distribution. It is not a signal, it does not imply the ratio will move toward or away from that mean, and no part of this dataset tests whether this ratio mean-reverts.

Volatility of each leg

Population standard deviation of daily returns, multiplied by the square root of 365 to express it on an annual basis. .

Beta, base returns regressed on quote returnssame 90-day window as the volatility ratio-0.3390 daily closes

Over the 90-day window, xyz:CL's annualised realised volatility was measured at 1.50 times BTC's. Equal notional on each leg therefore did not mean equal contribution to the pair's movement in that window: the base leg accounted for more of it.

Regressing xyz:CL's daily returns on BTC's over the same 90-day window gives a slope of -0.33. Beta and the volatility ratio answer different questions — the ratio compares how much each leg moved, the slope describes how much of the base leg's movement lined up with the quote leg's. Both describe the window measured.

Funding differential between the legs

-3.87% annualised

This is a point-in-time reading of the difference between the two legs' hourly funding rates, expressed on an annual basis. Funding on a Hyperliquid perpetual is charged hourly and the rate is reset each hour, so this is neither an amount paid nor received over any period, nor a projection of one. It describes the two rates at the instant they were read.

Unlike every other figure on this page it has no observation window, because it is not computed from the candle series at all — it is one reading of two hourly rates.

What this pair is

One leg is a crypto perpetual and the other references a physical commodity. They share no issuer, no settlement venue for the underlying and no trading calendar, so whatever relationship the measured windows show between them comes from common macroeconomic drivers rather than from any structural link.

xyz:CL

Long leg

A crude oil market on the xyz builder dex listed under CL, the conventional symbol for West Texas Intermediate futures.

It is one of two crude references on the venue, alongside BRENTOIL, so a pair between them is a pair between two grades of the same commodity. The perpetual itself trades continuously on Hyperliquid, while the market it is named for has defined session hours and closes at weekends. That mismatch is a structural property of the contract, not a defect: price discovery outside those hours happens in the perpetual alone.

  • Against each of the 4 crypto legs it carries a full 90-day figure with, its correlation of daily returns was negative over the 90 daily closes to 29 July 2026, ranging from -0.27 to -0.16. That describes those windows; it is not a property of the markets and not a forecast.

BTC

Short leg

Bitcoin, listed on the main Hyperliquid dex and first in the EzPairs quote-priority list — the committed constant that decides which leg of a pair becomes the quote.

Because it heads that list it is the quote leg wherever it appears, which makes it the denominator of the ratio and of the volatility comparison on those pages rather than the thing being measured. It trades continuously, so both legs of a crypto/crypto pair are open at the same times and neither carries a session gap the other does not.

  • In the venue snapshot taken 30 July 2026, it was the largest of the 177 markets on the main Hyperliquid dex by 24-hour notional volume, at $2.36B — and the largest by open interest, at $2.14B.
  • It is the quote leg — the short side — in 64 of the 540 pairs in the current market manifest, more than any other market described here. Manifest snapshot taken 30 July 2026.

Comparative statements above are recomputed from the committed market manifest and the published statistics dataset each time this page is built, and each carries the snapshot or the window it was derived from. Where a figure could not be measured, the comparison is omitted rather than estimated.

Mechanics and constraints

What holding this pair involves, structurally. This describes how the instruments work; it is not a suggestion to hold them, and nothing below is a claim about outcomes.

  • Two positions, not one. A pair is a long xyz:CL perpetual and a short BTC perpetual held at the same time. Each is margined and each can be liquidated on its own. Holding both does not net the risk away.
  • Two funding streams. Each leg accrues Hyperliquid funding hourly and independently, in opposite directions for a long and a short. The differential above is a reading of the gap between the two rates at one instant, not a running total.
  • Different leverage caps. The venue caps xyz:CL at 20x and BTC at 40x. They differ, so the two legs are not subject to the same constraint.
  • Depth is set by the thinner leg. There is no pair-level order book. Size available on the pair is bounded by whichever leg is thinner, which in this snapshot is $396.7M of 24-hour volume.
  • The statistics are backward-looking. Correlation, volatility and the z-score above are computed from closed daily candles over the windows stated. They describe what those windows contained. They are not forecasts, and this site runs no test of whether any relationship here persists.

Other markets on EzPairs that share a leg with this one. Each is measured over its own shared history, so their windows differ from this page's.
