CME records high open interest in Bitcoin futures
The ProShares Bitcoin futures ETF is set to start trading on the NYSE Arca exchange later today, and that has sparked a huge institutional interest in Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).The latest figures indicate that the amount of money locked in the bitcoin futures contracts on the global derivatives platform CME reached record highs on Friday. The increased amount of funds locked in the Bitcoin futures comes following the SEC’s approval of the ProShares Bitcoin strategy ETF.
On Friday, the number of futures contracts traded but not liquidated with an offsetting position (also called the dollar value of open interest) on the CEM platform stood at $3.64 billion. The amount represents a more than 200% increase for October and sets an all-time high level on the platform. The previous all-time high of $3.26 billion locked in Bitcoin futures on CME was during the market rally of February.
According to Glassnode, the total number of outstanding contracts on the CME has surged by 60% to 56,410. Furthermore, the spread between the CME-based front-month futures contract and the spot price has increased from an annualized 1% to over 16% in October.
Bitcoin approaching its all-time high price again
Following the SEC’s approval of the Bitcoin futures ETF over the weekend, Bitcoin rallied past the $62k level. Although BTC is trading above $61,300 at the moment, the leading cryptocurrency is roughly 4% down from its all-time high price of $64k.If Bitcoin maintains its current momentum, it could soon surpass its all-time high and touch the $65k level over the coming days. Some market experts are optimistic the leading cryptocurrency could touch the $100k level before the end of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
