What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

In practice, the monthly futures tape now shows heavier trading on Binance, Bybit, and OKX than a month earlier in the sequence described here, while Binance open interest had already pulled back from a six-month high the prior week. That leaves the visible change in trading activity intact even though the separate open-interest reading moved lower.
