Leverage is doing the heavy lifting as $BTC pushes to 85,619, up 5.7% in a day 🚀 1⃣ Perp open interest up 12.8% across 15 venues during September 13-19, while stablecoin supply stayed nearly flat. That combination means traders are stacking leverage against existing liquidity rather than fresh inflows, which raises liquidation sensitivity on any sharp move. 2⃣ Funding stayed positive in many sampled altcoin markets, so bulls are paying to hold longs into strength. Crowded positioning plus thin new stablecoin backing is the classic setup for a violent squeeze in either direction. 3⃣ Risk appetite is spilling well past majors: PEPE +27.5% on 148 million in quote volume, KERNEL +59.9%, FORM +37.1%, PHA +33.3%. Meanwhile Robinhood Chain drove 73% of Uniswap revenue classified for UNI holders in September 1-7, a burn channel worth watching. Euro-area central banks also launched Pontes for central-bank euro settlement of blockchain securities with 14 launch participants, though undisclosed volumes leave dollar stablecoin displacement unproven. The rally is real, but it is built on borrowed conviction rather than new capital. How much of this move do you think is genuine spot demand versus leverage?
