It seems to me that all of you, guys, are not aware of this: "Total sum of active swaps"=!"Total sum of active leveraged positions". You can take the swap, keep it and not use it in a trade, and THERE ARE people who actually doing so (for example, they find it profitable to keep cheap swap for the long time being ready to trade when the time comes, instead of taking expensive swap at the time of trade). There are 22,8 MUsd active swaps on bitfinex now, which is equal to 35 kBTC at current price, and 4400 active BTC swaps, which is 8 times less. But indicator here https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/stats shows us that long positions are only about less then twice of short positions.
