What causes crypto exchange volume bugs?

Mismatched field meanings—like base vs. quote currency or contracts vs. coins. Docs lie; cross-check wins.

How do I fix OKX perp volume parsing?

Multiply `volCcy24h` (base units) by last price for USD. Simple as that.

Are Kraken funding rates reliable?

After dividing by mark price, yes. Raw? USD per contract—don't mix with decimals.

Will more bugs hit new exchanges?

Bet on it. Test BTC volumes against CoinGecko first.
