Grayscale Victory Sends Bitcoin Open Interest Surging After Hitting One-Year Lows appeared on www.newsbtc.com by Best Owie.
Over the last couple of weeks, the Bitcoin open interest had been on a downtrend that sent it toward one-year lows. However, with the Grayscale victory against the SEC coming on Tuesday, August 29, and sending a positive wave across the entire region, open interest in the digital asset has begun to surge once more.
Bitcoin Open Interest Pulls A Quick Reversal
On-chain data tracking platform Kaiko reported on Tuesday, August 29, that the Bitcoin open interest had been on the decline for a while. In the chart shared by the tracker, it is obvious that this BTC metric had previously fallen significantly since 2022.

As August drew to a close, the open interest in the digital asset eventually declined to levels not seen since the Terra network collapse back in May 2022. This suggested that it could be a good chance to get into Bitcoin and it would be proven true not too long after.
On the same day, news broke that Grayscale had triumphed over the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in court over its bid for its Spot Bitcoin ETF filing to be reconsidered. This triggered a rapid uptrend in the price of the digital asset and the open interest followed suit.
According to data from Coinglass, the Bitcoin open interest is seeing double-digit growth on some exchanges already. The open interest on the dYdX exchange is up over 35%, and the cumulative open interest across all exchanges is now in the green, rising 9.55% in the last 24 hours.

Does This Mean BTC Will Continue The Uptrend?
For now, the price of Bitcoin is still purely driven by the hype from the Grayscale victory. This means that there is no telling how long the uptrend will last and when it will start correcting downward. However, as long as investors remain optimistic about the victory, BTC will continue to enjoy green days.
As for open interest, a recovery isn’t always a good thing as it opens up an avenue for shorters to enter the market. For example, a look at Keiko’s chart shows open interest was high leading up to the FTX collapse in 2022. Then in early 2023 when the price of Bitcoin was rallying, open interest fell before picking up steam once more.
For now, BTC is still enjoying the spike in attention. The price of the cryptocurrency is up 5.35% in the last 24 hours to trade at $27,349.
