The world of cryptocurrencies is undergoing significant changes. Recent trends in the bitcoin futures market indicate that investors are rethinking their trading strategies.
Open interest in bitcoin futures in crypto market has reduced its positions by $10 billion in just three weeks. This event is perceived as a necessary step to maintain the bullish trend.
In January, we saw a record high level of open interest, which indicated a significant use of leverage. Now, the drop in interest can be seen as a kind of natural reset of the market.
Historical trends show that every deleveraging in the past has provided investors with new opportunities. However, at the moment, interest in open bitcoin futures has declined by 14% in 90 days.
Since November 2024, activity in the derivatives markets has been growing, and stablecoin stocks on derivatives exchanges have exceeded volumes on spot markets. However, the increase in the supply of stablecoins did not lead to a significant increase in prices.
Kriptolik recommends that investors avoid transactions with high leverage until the risk distribution is normalized. Every action in the financial markets is fraught with risk, so it is important to carefully analyze the situation and take into account all risk factors before making decisions.
These changes in the market can become a new stage in the development of the cryptocurrency space, offering participants new opportunities for investment and development strategies.
