More than half of them are derived from two companies, the giant derivative company BitMEX and the exchange OKEx. Both have OI levels that exceed $ 1 billion.
On Monday, Deribit confirmed that monthly Bitcoin Futures options revenue is up 70%.
The latest data shows a special month for Bitcoin Futures, accompanied by a nearly 35% price increase this year.
Analyst Scott Melker summarized in a tweet on Sunday that “with OI on BitMEX hitting a billion, volatility is almost assuredly coming.”
With Bitmex Open Interest hitting a billion, volatility is almost assuredly coming. We aren’t staying at 9400 for long. The next move should be significant and come relatively soon.
