Bitcoin price has surged 35% since its low point in August. Crypto Briefing reported that open interest has declined by 20% during this period, suggesting a shift in market influence toward the spot market and away from speculative leverage.
Glassnode data indicates that the drop in open interest to levels not seen since March reflects a deleveraging event. This divergence between rising prices and falling futures positioning suggests a maturing market structure where spot buying outweighs derivatives speculation, potentially reducing overall volatility.
