Binance's ETHUSDT futures open interest was 2.27% higher in ETH on Thursday, Oct. 8, over the last 48 hours. However, the USDT-denominated value fell 6.58%. The detailed comparison covers a fixed 69-hour window from Oct. 6 to Oct. 8, during which BTCUSDT open interest fell 1.45% in BTC and 5.97% in USDT value. Both contracts' coin quantities contracted on Oct. 8, with ETH exposure falling 2.85% and BTC exposure falling 3.03% from midnight to 21:00 UTC. The accounting decomposition attributes most of Bitcoin's value decline to lower valuation, but the contributions are accounting conventions rather than uniquely identified economic causes.
