- Bitcoin futures open interest is at its highest level ever.
- The coin’s exchange reserve has declined to its lowest in six years.
Bitcoin’s [BTC] futures open interest on centralized exchanges has rallied to an all-time high, according to data from Coinglass.
BTC’s futures open interest measures the total value of outstanding futures contracts that have not been settled or closed by market participants.
When an asset’s open interest increases, it suggests that new money is flowing into the market. This signals that traders are either opening new positions or maintaining existing ones. It is often regarded as a bullish sign.
Conversely, decreasing open interest may indicate that traders are closing out their positions, potentially due to low market activity or a shift in sentiment.
At press time, BTC’s futures open interest was $27.09 billion, climbing by 17% in the last week. This surge comes amid BTC’s recent price rally above the $63,000 price mark for the first time since 2021.
AMBCrypto found that BTC’s current futures open interest has exceeded levels seen in November 2021, when the leading coin traded at an all-time high of over $68,000.
As BTC futures open interest climbs, its funding rate across exchanges remains positive, per Coinglass data.
When an asset sees a positive funding rate, it suggests a higher demand for long positions compared to short positions. This occurs when the current trend is bullish, and there is a significant influx of buyers in the market.
The last time BTC’s funding rate was negative was on 20th October.
