Coinbase Markets said in a post on X that the notional value of Bitcoin futures contracts now stands at just 0.24x for every 1 BTC of spot holdings held by exchanges. According to the firm, that ratio has dropped to its lowest level in two years. Coinbase Markets also raised a question tied to the move: whether the decline in this ratio could reduce liquidation risk. The statement did not provide a broader conclusion beyond that observation, but it pointed to a notable shift in the balance between spot Bitcoin held on exchanges and the size of related futures exposure. The update was cited by Techub News and attributed to Coinbase Markets’ post on X.
