Bitcoin futures open interest has surged 13% since the beginning of the year—a clear sign that traders are stepping back into the ring. This uptick in positioning suggests the market's appetite for risk is heating up again. When open interest climbs like this, it typically means more participants are entering the derivatives game, betting on Bitcoin's direction. Whether it's institutions building exposure or retail traders jumping in, the message is consistent: bullish momentum is drawing fresh capital into Bitcoin futures contracts.

Institutional entry? Or retail hype, anyway, as long as open interest increases, it's all good.

Here we go again with this? A 13% increase and you still dare to call it a bull market signal? I feel like it's a sign of a new round of retail investors being squeezed out.
