Last week, the CME futures market was still quite interesting. I looked at the BTC position data. This week, the average BTC futures open interest is 116,982 contracts, up 8.55% week-over-week, and trading volume also increased by 4.05%, indicating that institutions are gradually adding to their positions.
ETH performed even more impressively. The average open interest is close to 1.87 million, a 5.03% weekly increase, but trading volume surged by 13.41%, suggesting that both BTC and ETH are becoming more active, and capital seems to be re-evaluating crypto assets.
Interestingly, the performance in commodities is worth noting. Gold and silver open interest are both declining, down 1.69% and 1.70% respectively, but trading volume is actually increasing, with gold's volume rising by 25.67% and silver's by 14.27%. This situation of decreasing open interest but active trading usually indicates market adjustments in position structures.
Overall, the crypto futures market is quite active, especially with BTC showing a relatively stable growth trend.
