Bitcoin has recovered all of last week's losses and is now just one step away from the $120,000 mark. Ethereum has also seen significant growth, surpassing the $3,900 mark. There is no longer any trace of last week's cryptocurrency market pullback.
According to recent data, aggregate open interest in ETH futures on the CME has reached a new all-time high. This indicates growing interest from institutional investors in Ethereum, which, in turn, suggests a higher level of legitimacy and recognition in the traditional financial world. The previous record was set relatively recently, highlighting the fast-paced nature of the crypto derivatives market. The increase in open interest in ETH futures on CME has several important implications. First, it boosts market liquidity, making it easier for large players to enter and exit positions without significantly affecting price. Second, it allows institutional investors to hedge risks associated with ETH investments. Third, it could lead to further price growth for Ethereum, as futures contracts enable traders to take long positions.
Bitcoin also resumed its upward movement following the release of another White House report on digital assets, which included recommendations to consider establishing a strategic national reserve of cryptocurrencies. The first U.S. White House report on digital assets is expected to be published on July 30.
This initiative is generating positive reactions within the cryptocurrency community, as the creation of a national reserve could strengthen the status of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class and encourage broader adoption. However, some are concerned that it could lead to increased government control and undermine Bitcoin's decentralized nature. Overall, the White House report signals growing U.S. government interest in digital assets and their potential impact on the economy and financial system. The steps taken by authorities in recent weeks will likely play a significant role in shaping the future of the crypto industry.
