- Capital shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum observed.

Ethereum’s open interest growth highlights its rising dominance, impacting speculative trading strategies and offering insights into market sentiment shifts.
The latest data from Glassnode and Coinglass reveals a significant increase in Ethereum’s open interest share, reaching a remarkable 40%. This event is driven by the rotation of speculative capital from Bitcoin to Ethereum. Key players such as Glassnode have published these analytics on X (Twitter), offering a detailed view of Ethereum’s market dynamics.
Major exchanges including CME and Binance report all-time highs in futures open interest, with CME reaching ~1.88 million ETH and Binance reaching ~2.79 million ETH. These numbers demonstrate the increasing traction Ethereum is gaining among traders and institutions.

The surge in Ethereum’s market share has immediate effects on Bitcoin and other digital assets, leading to a reshuffling of trading strategies. This transition indicates growing confidence in Ethereum’s prospects amid its rising institutional adoption.
Financial impacts are evident in the rise of Ethereum’s futures premiums and a notable increase in corporate treasuries holding ETH. Analysts note that corporates now hold about 1% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, surpassing Bitcoin in some allocations.
The increase in Ethereum’s open interest presents potential regulatory and technological outcomes. Future trends may see enhanced derivative activity and liquidity flows in Ethereum-linked assets, especially as market participants explore diverse investment avenues.
