Odaily Planet Daily News - K33 Research Director Vetle Lunde stated in an interview that the futures open interest positions at the CME derivatives exchange have reached an all-time high. This is currently the way most American institutions are purchasing Bitcoin futures contracts. However, many traders have been waiting for spot Bitcoin ETF options from major exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, as it could enhance liquidity and provide hedging tools. Lunde noted that the demand for leveraged long exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum is on the rise, with VolatilityShares' BTC exposure reaching an all-time high. (CNBC)
