Bitcoin

The depth of the Bitcoin market reached a record $600 million, coinciding with Bitcoin’s recent all-time high. 
Experts added that this situation indicates traders are taking profits as the historical maximum is renewed. 
On March 4, open interest in Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) perpetual contracts jumped nearly $2 billion to a multi-year high of $15 billion before falling $1.4 billion the next day. Experts concluded that the preservation of financing rates near the peaks indicates the stability of demand for the asset.

During the current rally, the daily increase in the holders of the seven-digit dollar bar remained below 2,000. For comparison, in 2021, these rates reached 4,000 wallets for an eight-digit value—2,000 addresses.

Kaiko also drew attention to USDT’s achievement of a record <a href="https://crypto.news/tether-usdt-stablecoin-record/">$100 billion</a> capitalization. The peaks did not increase trading activity – turnover remained well below the peak of $661 billion in May 2021, and the share of total volume decreased.
