Bitcoin Open Interest Hits Largest Surge in 2026, Surpassing 2025 Peak

BTC0.31%

According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin open interest recorded its largest increase in 2026, surpassing the surge seen during the 2025 peak period. The uptick reflects investors gradually returning to derivatives markets, though funding rates have remained negative for multiple consecutive weeks. Darkfost noted that while this signals returning market optimism, it also creates a more fragile market structure with elevated liquidation risks.
