Bitcoin open interest drops 49,000 contracts in a week, biggest decline since October 2025
- —BTC open interest on CME and perpetuals fell 49,000 contracts in seven days
- —Largest weekly decline since October 2025
- —Funding rates keep falling amid low market volatility
- —K33 says the drop reflects voluntary position unwinding, not liquidations
Why it matters: Falling open interest and funding rates point to deleveraging without panic, reducing the risk of cascading liquidations, though it does not by itself signal price direction.
