Cash-margined Bitcoin futures just hit an all-time high—are you keeping up with this shift in the market?
Many traders are still relying on crypto-margined futures, unaware that cash-margined contracts are now dominating the landscape. Clinging to outdated strategies could leave them behind as the market leans increasingly toward stablecoins and fiat-pegged margining.
Over the past two years, crypto-margined futures have dwindled from 210,000 BTC to just 87,000 BTC, now representing only 18% of total open interest. Meanwhile, cash-margined futures have skyrocketed, signaling a critical shift. If traders fail to adapt, they risk operating in a shrinking niche with fewer liquidity opportunities. Beyond profitability, sticking with crypto-margin introduces volatility risks—since using BTC itself as collateral can expose traders to double the market's ups and downs.
