Bitcoin's open interest has skyrocketed to an incredible $70 billion, setting a new record for derivatives activity. This spike in open interest indicates that there is more market activity and that traders are setting up for big price movements. Bitcoin's surge to $98,000 is reflected in a steady increase on the open interest chart.
With futures traders placing bets on both upward and downward price movements, this degree of open interest usually indicates increased speculative activity. This raises the possibility of increased volatility even though it might also be an indication of confidence in Bitcoin's momentum.
