Why is the gap between spot and futures so huge?

BTC spot accumulation is only 160 million, but futures accumulation is 6.6 billion.

If you can’t figure out this problem, it means you’re still just an ordinary retail investor in the market.

Let me tell you the truth: futures are what BTC market makers use to make markets,

Most of the market’s ups and downs are decided by the main players’ capital.

Futures are a great invention—they let the main players manipulate the market with the smallest amount of money, so the main players’ trading is basically done using futures.

Spot is only participated in by a very small number of retail investors and institutions in the market. They don’t trade actively; they only do it to reduce risk, so they only play with spot.

So now you’re very clear: behind our trading of BTC ETH, there are big market makers. If you study the main players thoroughly, you’ll be able to make the subsequent trades more clearly.
