BTC futures open interest increased by 10.65% from the previous week, reaching $74.35 billion. Binance led with $12.28 billion in open interest, indicating a rise in leveraged trading activity in the market. The overall market capitalization for Bitcoin stood at $2.12 trillion, while daily trading volume was $50.38 billion.

“The crypto market remains in a consolidation phase, with Bitcoin repeatedly testing the $106,000 level but facing resistance, while Ethereum struggles to sustain above $2,700,” said Himanshu Maradiya, Founder and Chairman of CIFDAQ. The CoinDCX research team noted, “Despite a small drop in the volume, the markets have surged, which indicates a drop in the bearish interference.”

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged net inflows of $41.7 million on the latest day, maintaining five straight days of positive inflows, according to the Coinswitch team desk. Ethereum consolidated with a rise of 0.30%, trading at $2,564.52. XRP traded higher at $2.37.

The CoinDCX research team mentioned potential significant developments on the horizon, including rumors that Coinbase might acquire USDC issuer Circle, aside from Circle’s ongoing IPO plans. Additionally, Texas has passed the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Investment Act, setting up legal grounds for state investment in Bitcoin. The bill now awaits the governor’s approval.
