How Can Traders Monitor the Size and Health of an Insurance Fund?

Reputable crypto futures exchanges provide a dedicated public page or API endpoint that displays the real-time or near-real-time balance of the insurance fund. This is a voluntary transparency measure designed to build trust.

Traders can monitor this balance to gauge the exchange's financial health and the overall market risk. A sudden, large drop in the balance is a warning sign of a major liquidation event.
