Crypto data analytics provider Skew announced that open Interest on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) managed to surpass one of the leading crypto exchanges, Binance, for the second spot, with OKEx still in the lead.According to Skew, OKEx leads the open interest race with almost a billion dollars locked in Bitcoin futures contracts. CME ranked second with $780 million, while Binance trails third with $720 million. However, Binance still keeps the lead in 24-hour futures volumes with $4,7 billion, while Huobi and OKEx are occupying the next two spots with $3.5 and $2.9 billion, respectively.Source: SkewOpen interest measures the total number of open futures and options contracts, not yet settled for a given asset. Crypto exchanges like BitMEX, for example, which was once a leader in the crypto derivatives sub-sector, made investors flee from the platform due to legal actions taken against the exchange\u2019s executives.Skew also noted that total aggregated open interest across major exchanges marked a monthly high of little over $5 billion.The massive CME open interest surge is considered by crypto experts to be a sign of massive institutional interest in Bitcoin.
