Industry experts have taken note. Nate Geraci, president of the ETF store, commented:
“Almost $ 1 billion in the ETF of Ishares Bitcoin today … the second largest entry since January 2024 Inception. I still remember when there was no ‘demand’.“

Meanwhile, in the derivative markets, the open interest (OI) in CME Bitcoin Futures continues to fall, now in 132,750 BTC after four consecutive days of decline, according to CME data.
The recent decrease in open interest could be coming to an end, since the annualized yield has increased from around 5% to 9% in April, according to veil data. This resurgence in basic commercial profitability could cause a renewed activity and a short -term rebound in open interest.
Why it is important: in a typical base, investors buy Spot Bitcoin and future shorts of Bitcoin to close the price gap. When the yield is high, the demand for futures increases, which increases the OI. As the yield is reduced, less merchants participate in the strategy, which leads to a decrease in open interest and reduced signaling in the market.
