The rapid growth in OI points to a surge of new positions\u2014many likely driven by traders chasing momentum as Bitcoin rallied from $103,500 to over $111,000 in under a week.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-22-at-11.13.24.png\" alt=\"bitcoin futured open interest may\"><\/p>\n<p>Among the exchanges, Binance saw a sharp uptick in futures exposure, with OI climbing to $13.6 billion, its highest level since December. This signals a strong return of speculative appetite on the platform after a relatively quiet March and April.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoins-climb-above-100k-looks-different-this-time-heres-why\/\" title=\"Bitcoin\u2019s Climb Above $100K Looks Different This Time \u2014 Here\u2019s Why\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/bitcoin-3-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin\u2019s Climb Above $100K Looks Different This Time \u2014 Here\u2019s Why<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Notably, the pace of OI growth has outstripped Bitcoin\u2019s spot price gains, suggesting an influx of leveraged trades.
