CryptoQuant, a cryptocurrency data platform, stated that open interest in Bitcoin derivatives has been declining over the past three months, indicating a gradual decrease in market leverage, which creates conditions for a bullish shift in the overall market structure. Since October of last year, Bitcoin derivatives open interest (OI) has fallen by 31%, a "deleveraging signal" that helps eliminate excessive leverage accumulated in the market. The platform cited crypto analyst "Darkfost" as saying, "Historical data shows that such deleveraging phases often mark the formation of important bottoms, effectively resetting the market structure and building a more solid foundation for a potential bull market recovery." The analyst believes this pattern may be repeating itself, but added that if Bitcoin continues to fall and fully enters a bear market, "open interest may shrink further, meaning a deeper deleveraging adjustment and continuation of the corrective trend."

According to PANews, the Bank of England's Deputy Governor, Dave Ramsden, has indicated that the UK may need to provide a protection mechanism for stablecoin deposits similar to that of bank deposits. Ramsden highlighted the central bank's consideration of maintaining public trust in currency in the event of a collapse of a systemically important stablecoin. He suggested that long-term trust in stablecoins might require a plan akin to bank deposit insurance, ensuring stablecoin holders have priority creditor status in bankruptcy proceedings. Ramsden's comments suggest that the Bank of England might extend current bank deposit protection measures to widely used stablecoins. The central bank has already increased the protection limit for regular cash deposits from £85,000 to £120,000 to safeguard against bank failures. The Bank of England plans to implement stablecoin regulatory rules by the end of the year.
