BTC Futures Monthly Open Interest Surges 20%- What’s does this Suggest?

Read Time:53 Second

Bitcoin futures open interest has surged 20% in the past 20 days, hitting over $26 billion, signalling increased activity in leveraged trading.

A look into Bitcoin’s on-chain activity signals a market shift among traders, with leverage heating up in April compared to Q1, 2025. According to data shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez on X (formerly Twitter), BTC’s open interest jumped 20% over the past 20 days, topping $26 billion today.

So, what does this mean?

With leveraged positions heating up, traders are pouring heavy capital into bets on BTC’s next moves. This means BTC’s movement in either direction could trigger serious liquidations and price volatility. Historically, the market experiences short squeezes or long squeezes, setting the stage for explosive price volatility.

While Bitcoin’s price is on the rise, more opportunities present themselves, but with associated risks. Leveraged positions signal increased investor confidence in BTC’s price movements but also present market volatility. Traders are closely monitoring liquidation pools for further insights.

TRON Founder Justin Sun Tops TRUMP Holders Leaderboard

Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron Blockchain, has topped the list of TRUMP memecoin holders ahead of TRUMP Dinner for the coin’s top 220 holders.

Justin Sun, a renowned crypto heavyweight and the founder of Tron blockchain, has been a huge supporter of President Donald Trump and his projects. In February, Justin recorded a purchase of $75M worth of world liberty tokens to portray his support and belief in Trump’s projects.

Justin has topped the list of TRUMP memecoin holders, increasing his chances of attending the anticipated Dinner with U.S. President Trump for the top 22o holders of his token. According to on-chain data, Sun is holding 1,176,803.002 TRUMP tokens valued at $14.32M, as of press time.

What’s the Market’s Reaction?

Justin’s move to the top of the leaderboard hints at his crypto influence and ambition, blended with his wealth status. However, this has sparked an ethical debate regarding the sale of political access through crypto, which is meant to foster financial inclusion for all.

Despite mixed reactions, most crypto enthusiasts perceive the TRUMP Dinner as a positive influence towards mainstream crypto adoption.

Bitcoin Balance on OTC Desks Hits an All-time Low

Read Time:54 Second

Bitcoin balance on OTC desks is steadily dropping to an all-time low suggesting the possibility of a major supply shock.

The crypto market sentiment has shifted from a bearish momentum, with multiple signs of a bull rally as capital inflow increases. A major bullish signal is the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Bitcoin supply metric. Recent data by Cryptoquant points to a declining OTC supply as large investors, mainly institutional whales, quietly accumulate Bitcoin.

Institutions and large-scale investors use OTC desks for privacy away from exchange scrutiny. With the supply declining, this means fewer Bitcoins are available for large purchases. With rising demand, a supply shock on the market could drive prices high, leading to a bull rally.

A rising demand against the dropping BTC supply in the market motivates holders to acquire more and minimize selling pressure in anticipation of higher gains. The OTC supply metric is not just a chart, but a major market signal for where the market could be headed.

Greed and Fear Index: Crypto Market Sentiment Turns Neutral

Read Time:52 Second

The fear and greed index is significant in determining the emotional state of investors to establish market valuation.

The crypto market has seen unprecedented volatility in the past few weeks, leading to extreme fear, with the values dropping to 19. However, CoinMarketCap has noted a shift in the market sentiment in the past 72 hours. The fear and greed index has surged to 53, a neutral zone value. This data is critical in establishing whether the market is undervalued(fear) or overvalued (greed).

Historically, the shift from fear to neutral comes before a period of steady market growth and bullish market rallies. This shift is evident in BTC’s rising prices while eyeing the psychological $100k mark.

The current value suggests that the market is not yet overvalued (greedy), has more potential for buying, and the bull rally is likely starting. With rising institutional interest and huge BTC demand from the U.S investors, the market is shifting to a healthier stage.

What is Staking and Liquid Staking in Crypto?

Read Time:1 Minute, 10 Second

Staking is critical in securing blockchain networks while earning rewards for investing in crypto assets.

In traditional finance, people lock up their savings in financial institutions such as banks to earn interest. In the crypto market, staking refers to locking up your crypto assets in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to earn rewards. Staking has become a popular way of earning passive income in crypto as locked-up tokens help secure the blockchain networks.

In the early stages of crypto staking, one could only earn through the staked tokens. With liquid staking, a flexibility feature is included. One can stake a token like Ethereum and get a liquid version like stETH, which can be traded and used for other purposes on the DeFi ecosystem.

This is like locking your savings and getting a receipt to use for other reasons, and later redeeming the receipt for your savings.

Why is Liquid Staking Important?

Liquid staking is an innovation that unlocks more asset utility without sacrificing one’s potential rewards, especially for long-term token holders. Staking will earn investors passive income, while liquid staking gives both yield and freedom to risk some of your staked assets for more potential gains without withdrawing them.

Platforms such as Lido, Rocket Pool, and Coinbase offer liquid staking services for crypto assets like Ethereum and Solana. This game-changer service allows one to maximize on their crypto utility and returns.

U.S Investors Regain Confidence-A Sign of Thin BTC Resistance Ahead?

Read Time:57 Second

Coinbase Premium remains in a positive territory, signalling heightened investor confidence in Bitcoin’s price uptrend in the following months.

Bitcoin momentum is in favour of the bulls as confidence rises among both large and retail investors. A recent market observation by Cryptoquant has revealed a shift in the market sentiment among U.S investors. According to the data, the recent BTC price reversal and uptrend have boosted investor conviction, thus increasing Bitcoin’s demand in the U.S.

The data explores the Coinbase premium Gap, a measure of the price gap between Coinbase and global exchanges. The Coinbase premium remains positive as of today, suggesting large-scale or institutional interest in BTC in the U.S market.

A sign of thin BTC resistance ahead?

As U.S demand for BTC rises, the bulls gain strong momentum to break past the previous key resistance levels. Additionally, price uptrend could induce liquidations, fear of missing out (FOMO), and short squeezes, thus fuelling the price to rise higher. With BTC’s momentum gaining strength, the resistance ahead could become thin and negligible.

Federal Reserve Withdraws Crypto Guidance for Banks-Impact on Market?

Read Time:54 Second

The United States Federal Reserve has withdrawn its crypto guidance for banks, signalling the current administration’s shift toward an innovation-friendly future.

Crypto enthusiasts are anticipating a major market boom filled with creativity, innovation, and favourable policies following the latest developments in Trump’s administration. The United States Federal Reserve has announced its official withdrawal from guidance on crypto and dollar activities for banks.

According to the official announcement;

…These actions ensure the board’s expectations remain aligned with evolving risks and further support innovation in the banking system.

This comes as a surprise, but also a strategic shift within the U.S government’s approach to crypto-based innovation. It is a reflection of the growing openness and support for digital finance as a potential industrial revolution aiming to transform traditional finance.

As crypto adoption gains wider ground, the market is yet to see a huge capital inflow from traditional investors diversifying into Defi and blockchain projects in the coming months. Regulatory clarity is a necessity for the market’s growth and crypto adoption in everyday life.
