What Is Open Interest (OI), and What Market Changes Can It Help Us Understand?

In crypto derivatives trading, many people watch prices and trading volume every day but overlook another important metric: open interest, or OI.

OI can help us understand how many contracts in the derivatives market remain open and observe market participation and changes in positions. But it is not a foolproof indicator for predicting price movements and needs to be analyzed alongside prices and other data.

First, what exactly is OI?

Open interest refers to the number of contracts that have not yet been settle

#StakeOnLaunchpoolToShare450KVLX 450,000 VLX Rewards: How Staking Allocation Actually Determines Your Share
The Prize Pool Is Fixed, but Your Reward Depends on Your Share

Gate Launchpool has introduced a Velas (VLX) staking event with a total reward allocation of 450,000 VLX. The attractive part is not simply the size of the reward pool; it is how the distribution works and how each participant's contribution affects their eventual allocation.

The gold standard for security in crypto? Gate puts its proof of funds front and center!

What does real peace of mind look like?
It’s not a smiling face when the market is up, nor a platform customer service rep saying, “Dear user, rest assured.”
It’s being able to find public information and verification evidence when users want to understand the status of funds! 😂
Gate pioneered proof of funds security, and this move has once again put fund transparency at the center of industry discussion.
Think about it: in the past, when people talked about crypto, they mostly discussed which coin would

Anyone still remember this ?

Everyone’s using GPT, huh? Then I’ll get Doubao and give it a try.

Familiar face Maxine Waters just announced she is running for chair of the House Financial Services Committee, and Sean Casten is also vying for the position. The platforms they’ve put forward are both focused on attacking the Trump family’s crypto projects, calling for stricter investor protections, platform custody rules, and proof of reserves.
Honestly, watching these two compete to become crypto’s hardline watchdog is genuinely hilarious.
When Republicans pushed FIT21 before, Waters did everything she could to block it. Now that Democrats have regained the initiative, her first reaction is

After $XRP ’s oversold signal appears, what’s really missing isn’t sentiment—it’s a confirmed bottom

$XRP is currently priced at 1.1784, down 3.1080414405525447% over 24 hours, with an intraday high of 1.2229 and low of 1.1723. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both weak, indicating that selling pressure has not automatically ended just because the decline has deepened. The volume ratio is 0.12857813725612088, and market participation is low. This makes a technical rebound more likely on relatively little capital, but that does not mean the structure has reversed. Oversold describes a condition

The Biggest De-Grossing Wave in Over a Decade Hits, and Wall Street Hedge Funds Can’t Take the Strain

One of the most brutal sell-offs in U.S. stock market history is pushing the hedge fund industry into a rare systemic stress test.

According to a Morgan Stanley client report, October saw the largest monthly reduction in equity hedge funds’ positions in more than a decade, with their market exposure down about 9% since June. The Nasdaq 100 recently plunged 6.4% in a single day, wiping out about $2.3 trillion in market value, while the VIX “fear index” surged 70%, further intensifying the ind

$XRP Currently trading at 1.1804, down 3.19% over 24H, with a range of 1.1723–1.2229 and trading volume of 63.2616 million. The 1H outlook is weak (RSI 35.23, price below EMA20 at 1.1909); the 4H outlook is weak (RSI 17.88, price below EMA20 at 1.2293). Volume ratio: 0.007. Holding above the 1.2229 resistance could signal continuation, while breaking below the 1.1723 support would weaken the short-term outlook. For review, check whether price holds above 1.2229 and reclaims 1.1723; volume is only 0.01x, so a single break needs confirmation from participation, and failure to reclaim invalidates
