🚀 **Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Nears All-Time Highs!**

Bitcoin futures open interest is soaring, nearing record levels at 478k BTC ($31.8 billion). Here's the scoop:

- **Cash-Margined Futures Surge**: Reached an all-time high of 384k BTC ($25.5 billion), driven by institutional activity on the CME.

- **Decline in Crypto-Margined Futures**: Now at an all-time low, making up just 18.5% of total open interest.

- **CME's Dominance**: Captured over 30% market share in October 2023, overtaking Binance.

Why the shift? Cash-margined contracts are less volatile, potentially leading to a more sustainable market. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments! 💬
