COTI's futures volume is running 7-10x higher than spot volume right now. That's a leverage signal, not organic demand.
What changed: COTI Foundation confirmed V1 and gCOTI V1 will sunset in late Q3 2026, the final step of the L1-to-L2 migration.
Evidence: futures 24h volume ~$51M-68M vs spot ~$7M. Open interest ~$22-23M. Foundation committed to burning 100M+ COTI within 12 months. Binance delisted COTI margin pairs twice in 2026, thinning spot liquidity further.
Hidden angle: no one is tracking what % of V1 supply is still unmigrated. That unknown carries real forced-sell risk and isn't priced in anywhere.
Thesis strengthens if volatility spikes near the sunset date then fades without spot volume rising. Thesis breaks if spot volume climbs in parallel.
