Ethereum Futures Break Records: Institutional Purchases and Leveraged Positions Raise Price Expectations
Ethereum (ETH) is gaining attention with the recent increase in leveraged trading and institutional investment inflows. The open position volume in the futures market has exceeded $20 billion, reaching an all-time high. At the same time, the purchases of ETH by large players indicate that institutional confidence is strengthening.
Leveraged Positions at Their Peak
Blockchain analysis firm Glassnode reported that the total open positions of Ethereum futures have exceeded $20 billion, setting a new record. This increase shows that traders are expanding their leveraged positions with stablecoin collateral and that market volatility is increasing.
Glassnode's report confirms the previous peak of 7.17 million ETH indicated by CryptoQuant analysts a few days ago. Especially the growth in cash-collateralized contracts increases the impact of speculative movements.
On-chain data reveals that individual investors are also turning to derivative products. CryptoQuant noted that the futures trading activity of small investors has surpassed the average of the last year, while drawing attention to the low on-chain mobility in the Bitcoin network.
Large ETH Purchases from BlackRock and Whales
On the institutional side, eyes are on the large asset manager BlackRock's purchases of Ethereum. The company purchased a total of $163.6 million worth of ETH in just the last two weeks. This indicates a significant increase in institutional interest in Ethereum.
The blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain reported that whale wallets have started withdrawing large amounts of ETH. For example, the institutional investment company Abraxas Capital withdrew a total of 44,612 ETH worth $123 million from Binance and Kraken.
These movements indicate that Ethereum has become a focal point again for both individual and institutional investors.
Price Expectations: $3,000 on the Agenda
Ethereum is currently trading at $2,755. Although there has been a slight decrease (%0.27) in the last 24 hours, technical analysts indicate that the price is approaching a significant resistance point.
Popular analyst Daan Crypto Trades commented, "The $2,800 level played a key role in this cycle. Breaks above or below it can trigger sharp price movements." Another analyst, Duo Nine, predicts that Ethereum could rise above $3,000 in the short term.
The Risk Behind the Rise: Excessive Leverage
However, the rapid increase in leveraged positions brings some risks as well. Historically, high open position levels and intense interest from individual investors are seen before sharp price corrections.
Lookonchain pointed out that some traders have started to open short positions in Ethereum, emphasizing the need to be cautious against potential volatility.
