Soaring Open Interest in BTC Futures Signals Growing Derivatives Market
Friday, March 8, 2024, marked a notable day when BTC soared to a new peak price of $70,184 per coin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Although the price later declined, the bounce back was quicker compared to the substantial volatility bitcoin witnessed on March 5. The latest crypto rally has triggered a noticeable increase in open interest for crypto futures, particularly in bitcoin. Data indicates a total of $32.30 billion in open interest recorded in the last day, with CME Group at the forefront.
