Still, there are risks if price volatility triggers liquidation. Such a scenario always leaves the market at a crossroads since it’s challenging to predict which way the market will swing. 
The ETH price surge to $3,500 is the most robust recovery since mid-2023. Around May, when the coin traded at $4,000, futures open interest was at $14 billion, $8 billion less than today’s value. The severe growth shows the market’s enthusiasm, although ETH still lags behind its historic peak. 
Ethereum’s recent rally is due to several factors. First, there has been growing institutional interest in the crypto-based financial products. The Ethereum blockchain is also among the most secure and reliable blockchains. Additionally, the increasing adoption of DeFi is a reasonable catalyst, as are improving macroeconomic sentiments. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="span-style-font-weight-400-should-investors-worry-about-the-market-leverage-or-is-it-beneficial-to-them-span">Should investors worry about the market leverage, or is it beneficial to them?</h3> 
Rising futures <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/ETH" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">open interest</a> is usually a promising market sign. However, excessive leverage can be cut both ways. In a highly leveraged market, sharp price corrections can lead to liquidation. Given this risk, it is essential to monitor funding rates, which may show whether the leverage is leaning toward bullish or bearish positions. 
To this moment, market analysts are unsure what the surge in open interest means for ETH’s short-term trajectory. Investors have gained confidence in the cryptp’s ecosystem, while others think that people should trade cautiously or the market will experience volatility.
