Bitcoin derivatives open interest fell about 13.5% since Sept. 3, suggesting pre-event deleveraging
Santiment data reported by BlockBeats shows BTC-denominated open interest fell from 321,497 BTC on Sept. 3 to 278,151 BTC on Sept. 11 (a 13.5% drop), indicating market participants closed positions ahead of major events this week.
