Bitcoin futures open interest and liquidity remain below pre-crash levels a year after $19B liquidation event

A major liquidation event on October 10, 2025, wiped out about $19 billion in leveraged crypto positions, significantly impacting Bitcoin futures markets. By September 2026, Bitcoin perpetual futures open interest was still 16.5% below pre-crash averages, and visible liquidity in the order book had declined by 27%. The ratio of futures open interest to spot market depth also dropped by about 20%, indicating reduced derivatives activity relative to available liquidity. Binance increased its market share of Bitcoin perpetual open interest from 38% to 51%, showing consolidation in trading activity. These trends suggest cautious market sentiment and slower recovery in derivatives positioning and liquidity after the crash.

The article highlights ongoing challenges in Bitcoin futures markets following a major liquidation event. On Pluang, Binance Coin (BNB) trades at Rp13.149.967 with a positive 1-day change of 2.35% as of Oct 16, 2026 10:31 WIB. Market activity shows a strong selling bias with 74% of orders as sell, reflecting cautious sentiment among investors.
