Meanwhile, in the derivative markets, the open interest (OI) on the term contracts on CME Bitcoin continues to fall, now seated at 132,750 BTC after four consecutive days of decline, according to CME data.
The recent decrease in open interest could end, because the annualized basic return rose from around 5% to 9% in April, according to VELO data. This resurgence of the profitability of basic exchanges could cause a renewed activity and a short -term rebound in an open interest.
Why this counts: in a typical basic business, investors buy a cashcoin in cash and to term contracts on Bitcoin to lock the price difference. When the yield is high, the demand for term contracts increases, increasing the OI. As the yield decreases, fewer traders engage in the strategy, resulting in a drop in open interest and the reduced signaling on the market.
