Bitcoin? It’s in a tiny range around $111,000 and has been losing a bit of sparkle (down 2.9% in the past 30 days). But, don’t worry, altcoins are on the rise like they’ve just discovered coffee. ☕

Bitcoin’s dominance took a dive, from 61% to 57%, which, honestly, is a *huge* sign that altcoins are coming for that throne. Ethereum (ETH) is up 1.1% since midnight UTC, and Solana? It’s 0.43% higher. But wait, they’ve gained 21% and 27.5% in the last 30 days-seriously, who’s watching Bitcoin at this point? 🤷‍♂️

The CoinDesk 20 Index is barely moving, but it’s still a tiny bit higher than 24 hours ago, thanks to the altcoin surge. Just like the plot of your favorite soap opera, the twists keep coming. 💅

Nick Forster, founder of Derive.xyz (super official), thinks ETH could hit $6,000 by 2025. “Institutional adoption is *massive*,” he says. Just last week, ETFs grabbed 250K more ETH. Should we buy more popcorn? 🍿

Derivatives Drama: Who’s In, Who’s Out?

  • The total open interest across all perpetual instruments has climbed to $114 billion. Wow, who’s writing all these contracts? 🖊️
  • BTC liquidations? They’re happening in big clusters. If Bitcoin hits $112,200, prepare for some *serious* fireworks. 💥
  • The BTC put-call volume for the past 24 hours is off the charts at 26.4K contracts. But it’s not all doom and gloom-calls are still in the lead by a slim 51.6%. 🏆
  • The funding rate heatmap is still looking good for most assets, except for TRX. Sorry, TRX, you’re on the naughty list. 😅
