Bitcoin open interest falls 19.5% as futures leverage unwinds faster than price
Bitcoin’s futures market saw a sharp leverage reset as BTC open interest fell 19.5%, a larger drop than the price decline. Open interest slid from $26.0 billion to $20.89 billion, suggesting traders cut exposure and shifted attention toward spot demand. The move has fueled debate over whether any next leg higher can be driven more by spot buying than derivatives positioning. Cryptoquant shared the open-interest figures on June 22.
