BTC perp cost slope: tightest books, flattest slopes

As of September 18, 2026, Gains leads BTC cost slope ($1M / $1k) at 1.000x (p50, 24h window), measured across 7 providers.

BTC carries the highest open interest on most venues and typically has the tightest spread at any given notional. Orderbook venues therefore show their flattest slopes on BTC: the $1M impact is minimised by depth. Oracle-priced venues (gains, gmx) remain at exactly 1.00 regardless.
