Binance recorded renewed derivatives-market activity in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin open interest, the value of outstanding derivatives positions, reached approximately $9.54 billion, its highest level in three months, while its 30-day increase in stablecoin-margined open interest reached $840 million on August 27. Ethereum futures open interest rose to approximately $6.4 billion, its highest level since January, as Ether recovered to around $2,500. Bitcoin climbed from roughly $65,000 in late July to around $79,000, a gain of about 22%. Binance’s Bitcoin increase exceeded Gate’s $298 million rise and the gains of every other tracked exchange, which remained below $200 million. The simultaneous price and open-interest increases indicate renewed liquidity and activity, but open interest does not show whether positions are long or short. The developments may increase leverage and liquidation risk if either market reverses sharply, and should be assessed alongside funding rates, trading volume and leverage ratios.
