Title: Total Open Interest in Bitcoin Futures Hits ATH, but Does It Matter?
Post by: MUGNIA on November 22, 2020, 02:58:25 PM
The total open interest on all Bitcoin futures has reached a new all-time high (ATH), according to data from skew.

Futures contracts exist when investors purchase the right to either buy or sell units of an asset at a later date with a fixed price. The concept allows for the prediction of future pricing and rewards for that pricing without actually owning the underlying asset.

All future contracts exist between a buyer and seller as an agreement to purchase at a later time. Open interest in those contracts reflects the total number of contracts that have not been concluded with a sale.
