CryptoQuant: Binance ETH open interest halves in USD but sits near peak in ETH terms
- —Binance ETH open interest near $5.8B vs $12B+ at last year's peak
- —In ETH terms, open interest is about 2.5 million ETH, near the peak
- —Funding sits just above zero after several negative-rate stretches
- —Rising price with a funding spike would signal crowded longs
Why it matters: ETH leverage remains large but not one-sided, so a decisive break in either direction could accelerate quickly.
