In a new post on X, the analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the latest trend in the Open Interest for the various memecoins in the cryptocurrency sector.


The “Open Interest” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of positions related to a given asset currently open on all derivatives exchanges. Related Reading Dogecoin Open Interest Plunges 58%: How Do Shiba Inu & Pepe Compare? 4 hours ago


First, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 7-day moving average (MA) of the metric for Dogecoin, the original meme-based token: The value of the metric appears to have been sliding down in recent weeks | Source: Glassnode on X


As is visible in the above graph, the 7-day MA of the Dogecoin Open Interest had a value of $3.5 billion in December, but since then, speculative interest around the asset has plummeted as it has come down to just $1.49 billion today. This represents a decrease of around 58.4%.


DOGE isn’t the only memecoin that has gone through a futures flush in this period, however, as the second chart shared by the analytics firm shows. The trend in the Open Interest for PEPE, BONK, and WIF over the past year | Source: Glassnode on X


From the graph, it’s apparent that Pepe (PEPE), Bonk (BONK), and dogwifhat (WIF) have all seen a cooldown in Open Interest during the last couple of months. The decline has even been more pronounced than DOGE’s for all of these, as the metric has fallen by more than 69% for them.


Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Floki (FLOKI) have likewise followed suit, with the indicator declining by 74% and 69%, respectively. SHIB and FLOKI have also witnessed a crash in the indicator | Source: Glassnode on X


While speculative activity on the futures market has taken the deep dive across the memecoins, it appears the trend has been different for other parts of the cryptocurrency sector. Related Reading Ethereum Fees Back To Lowest Since August: Is This Bullish? 14 hours ago

As displayed in the above graph, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have registered a drop of 11%, 23%, and 6% on the metric, respectively. Clearly, this is significantly less than the 52% crash that the memecoin market combined has observed. DOGE Price
