Binance, which is a platform for trading crypto derivatives continued to rise in popularity with an increase in the number of customers on the platform caused by the bullish market trend. The open interest at Binance has risen to an all-time high of $10 billion. This depicts an annual growth of almost 3900%.

The expansion of Binance Futures

Binance futures is the biggest bitcoin futures exchange in terms of open interest.  The platform is responsible for having a contribution of $4.33 billion, which is equivalent to the worldwide percentage of 18.44%. This data shows that Binance’s retail model is doing well and with the bull crypto market, their revenues are still going to be on an upward trend.

Binance Futures was started in September 2019, and this was via a single tether (USDT, +0.21%).this was margined against the perpetual futures for Bitcoin (-2.83%). Since its launch, this derivatives platform has been performing incredibly well and it has recorded an impressive expansion. Binance now has more product suites with more than 180 pairs of margined futures contracts, 36 Binance leveraged tokens and six options.

The expansion of Binance futures and other derivative instruments comes at a time when many digital asset firms are recording spikes in trading volumes and revenues. This is because of an increased demand in digital assets after the assets were endorsed by key industry players such as Elon Musk. If the demand increases, this only means that Binance’s open interest numbers will continue to rise and this will have a positive impact on the platform’s business.
