As of March 4th, recent data from Coinglass reveals that the overall open interest in Bitcoin futures contracts has reached 559,410 BTC, valued at approximately $46.81 billion, reflecting a notable decline of 13.55% within the past 24 hours. This marked reduction in open interest suggests that traders are exercising caution amidst a backdrop of diminished demand for Bitcoin. The current sentiment is characterized by stagnation in blockchain activity and a reduction in liquidity inflows.
Within this landscape, the CME Group leads the market with an open interest of 140,850 BTC, translating to about $11.78 billion. Following closely is Binance, which reports a substantial open interest of 107,440 BTC, equivalent to approximately $8.89 billion. These figures indicate a consolidation of market positions as investors reassess their strategies in light of evolving market conditions.
