Weekly derivatives summary analysis
Here’s a quick preview of the main events that have occurred on the cryptocurrency derivatives market.
First off, the crypto derivatives aggregated volume has remained fairly steady when compared to last week’s values. As such, the volume is currently estimated at $26.40B.
Here’s a brief look at trading volumes by derivatives category:
- The options trading volume is estimated at $188.49M, lower than last week’s $265M;
- The futures trading volume is estimated at $6.69B, higher than last week’s $6.07B;
- The perpetuals trading is estimated at $19.51B, even higher than last week’s whooping $17.77B.
Thus, while the aggregated derivatives trading volume has mostly remained stable, we are seeing a noticeable increase in the case of perpetuals. The derivatives market is well-stimulated at this point in time, therefore predictions indicate that this uptrend will continue in a steady manner.
A quick look into the current open interest rates
At this point in time, the total aggregated open interest volume is situated at $9.05, which is almost a billion more when compared to the OI of $8.33B recorded last week.
From a category standpoint, perpetuals report an open interest of $4.35B, followed by $2.66B for futures, and $1.81B for options. Thus, perpetuals and options are seeing a slightly-increased OI rate, whereas futures have decreased negligibly.
Market data also seems to suggest that Ethereum open interest have managed to set an all-time high two days ago.
Relevant cryptocurrency exchange derivatives data
At press time, cryptocurrency exchanges report a standard 24h volume of $48.81B.
In the case of perpetual derivatives, Huobi remains the top-ranking exchange, with a 7d volume of $58.72B. Futures are led by OKEX with a 7d volume of $30.98B, whereas options are trading almost exclusively on Deribit, with a weekly volume of $792.01M.
