BTC ran from $62K to $79.6K in under 45 hours this week, and the leverage story underneath that move is the real headline: crypto-margined futures open interest just hit an all-time low, sitting near 11% of total open interest. Back in 2019-2020, crypto-margined collateral was basically 100% of the market.
That matters for what happens next. When most open interest sits in crypto-margined contracts, a price move forces self-referential liquidations — falling BTC collateral triggers more selling, which drops BTC further. With crypto margin down to roughly a tenth of the market, that feedback loop is a lot weaker than it used to be. This rally is running mostly on spot and stablecoin-margined demand, not leverage stacked on leverage.
That doesn't mean there's no risk on the table, it just moves the pressure point elsewhere. Where do you think the real stress sits if this move reverses — spot sellers, funding, or somewhere in options gamma?
