Ethereum Futures Hit New Record High, Surpassing Bitcoin’s Open Interest

Ethereum has set a new record in the futures market, surpassing Bitcoin’s open interest for the first time. As of June 11, 2025, Ethereum’s futures open interest surged past $40 billion, indicating a significant increase in institutional and retail participation. This surge is attributed to heightened confidence in Ethereum among investors, leading to greater market volatility and liquidity. Experts suggest this milestone indicates growing investment activity and a shift towards increased exposure of ETH derivatives in the market.
