A recent analysis by<a href="https://x.com/woonomic/status/1704531145994719420?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Willy Woo</a> draws attention to the rising dominance of paper Bitcoin (futures open interest value) over the real, liquid Bitcoin traded daily. 
According to Woo, we are witnessing a period where the trading of paper Bitcoin exceeds that of liquid Bitcoin by 20-30%. This surge in paper Bitcoin trading effectively mitigates any potential supply shock, even as there has been a noticeable drop of approximately <a href="https://x.com/jimmyvs24/status/1704804632483045806?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">500,000</a> in both liquid and highly liquid Bitcoin supply in recent months. 
This development mirrors a similar situation in the gold market, where the prevalence of a paper or derivatives market has often been viewed as a vulnerability. This is primarily because it provides an avenue for suppressing gold’s value. With Bitcoin seemingly following a similar path, this could suggest an increasing influence of derivative markets on the intrinsic value of cryptocurrencies. 
While the long-term impact of such a shift is uncertain, it underlines the evolving dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, which continues to mirror traditional financial systems unexpectedly.
