Binance’s <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/66eb7def42286374a36f1f6f-Binance-relentlessly-buying-while-Bitmex-sells" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">open interest (OI)</a> is climbing sharply as traders react to the latest news of U.S. Fed’s interest rate cuts by 50 bps. The platform’s funding rates and OI also increased, correlating with an upbeat market sentiment and renewed investor activity.
Meanwhile, BitMEX presents a different narrative, with whales selling or staying on the sidelines, waiting for clearer signals on how the rate cuts will play out.

The upward trend in Binance’s funding rates and OI shows a surge in long positions. This means that retail traders are becoming more optimistic about Bitcoin’s price movement in the short term. What’s more, Binance’s data reveals heightened activity and a possible buildup of late longs, likely driven by smaller investors anticipating a bullish turn following the rate cut news.
