Ethereum's recent gains have been supported by an ever-increasing level of futures open interest. As CoinTelegraph reports, open interest on Ether futures reached a record $6.5 billion, which is a 128% monthly increase.

This suggests short-sellers are likely fully hedged, taking benefit of the futures premium, instead of effectively expecting a downside.

Professional investors using the strategy described above are essentially doing cash and carry trades which consist of buying the underlying asset and simultaneously selling futures contracts.

These arbitrage positions usually do not present liquidation risks. Therefore, the current surge in open interest during a strong rally is a positive indicator. Tyler Durden Sat, 02/06/2021 - 11:25
