BTC1!

Surprisingly, the price of bitcoin and bitcoin futures have held up well compared to stocks given that Bitcoin is a high risk, highly volatile crypto currency.

It is almost as if hedge funds, and other investors have not had to liquidate their BTC exposure due to margin calls.

Open Interest has been stable and average daily volume is holding up. This can be viewed by accessing the CME Bitcoin Open Interest and Volume.
