Bitcoin futures and perpetual contract open interest increased by 5.92% in 24 hours to $57.621 billion, indicating traders are adding leverage in BTC derivatives. Binance leads with the largest share of open interest at $10.553 billion, followed by Gate, Bybit, and OKX, showing a concentrated but slightly more balanced market.
