🎢🤔 Centralized Exchange Leverage Risks Amid Bull Run
CryptoQuant analyzed crypto exchanges' leverage ratios (open interest vs. reserves) to assess liquidity and default risk. Key Findings:
▪️ Binance: Maintains strong reserves with the lowest leverage ratio among major exchanges (12.8 in Dec 2023 to 13.5 in Dec 2024), despite a 2.6x rise in Bitcoin open interest ($4.45B to $11.64B).
▪️ Smaller Exchanges: OKX also shows low leverage.
▪️ High-Risk Exchanges: Gate, Bybit, and Deribit have leverage ratios of 106, 86, and 32, with open interest exceeding or nearing reserves.
Monitoring leverage is critical, as high leverage contributed to the FTX collapse in Nov 2024, where reserves fell to zero while open interest stayed high.

📊🤔 #BTC C.Q.: The current Open Interest (OI) volume in BTC is higher than during the 2021 bull cycle and comparable to the 2022 bear cycle.
Let me emphasize once again: traders have become more cautious and less willing to take risks.
By the way, in a bear market, OI tends to grow because shorting BTC during a bear market can be just as rewarding as buying coins at the bottom on spot and selling them at the cycle's peak.

🇺🇸🤔 CEO CQ: Strategic #BTC Reserves could help offset U.S. debt
In 15 years, $790B in capital inflows boosted Bitcoin’s market cap to $2T. This year, $352B added $1T.
Designating Bitcoin as a strategic asset could offset 36% of U.S. debt by 2050, requiring 1M BTC. While foreign creditors (30% of debt) may resist, the strategy remains practical as it doesn’t rely on full Bitcoin settlement.
🗣 #ENA Arthur Hayes: The performance of Ethena Labs is impressive. If DeFi protocols don't integrate #USDe or sUSDe, it could be their downfall.
