Financial and commodity markets analytics


Open interest in bitcoin contracts reached a record level, indicating a general increase in trading volume and the growing attractiveness of the asset, and may also indicate the active participation of large, institutional investors. Amid uncertainty over US fiscal policy and weak demand for long-term bonds, investors are looking for alternatives. Bitcoin, with its current market capitalization of over $2 trillion, is emerging as an attractive option. Analysts note that the possible redistribution of even a small part of gold and foreign exchange reserves into bitcoin could significantly increase its value.As for the current situation, against the backdrop of a weakening U.S. dollar, there is a high probability that the bitcoin price will reach a new all-time high in the near future.
