  At BYDFi, we have observed that open interest in futures contracts has a direct impact on the liquidity of digital assets. When the open interest is high, it attracts more traders and investors to the market, resulting in increased trading volume and liquidity. This is especially true for popular digital assets that have active futures markets. The presence of futures contracts allows traders to hedge their positions or speculate on the price movements of these assets, which increases overall market activity. As a result, the liquidity of digital assets improves, making it easier for traders to execute their orders at desired prices. However, it's important to note that open interest alone is not the only factor influencing liquidity. Other factors such as market depth, order book dynamics, and trading activity on spot exchanges also play a significant role in determining the overall liquidity of digital assets.
