The Bitcoin derivatives market has yet to fully recover from the significant liquidation event of October 10th last year, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost. On that day, nearly 71,000 BTC were wiped from open interest on major exchanges, with positions worth over $11 billion liquidated or closed. Since then, market conditions have remained challenging, with traders cautious about rebuilding exposure. Open interest in BTC-denominated contracts, excluding CME, has not returned to pre-October 10th levels, currently standing at around 351,000 BTC compared to 375,000 BTC before the event. However, Binance has seen its open interest rise above pre-liquidation levels, increasing by over 7,000 BTC, and its market share has grown from approximately 30% to over 36%. Darkfost notes that while the overall market struggles, trading activity is increasingly concentrated on Binance.
