Notably, fourth-quarter activity surged 92% year-over-year while open interest doubled, and Large OI Holders peaked at 1,039. Bitcoin and Ethereum futures continued to drive market liquidity, with both Micro contracts and MET setting new records. On December 30th alone, QBTC saw an impressive 128,000 contracts traded and exceeded 1.00 million for the month. Furthermore, spot-quoted products including QBTC, QETH, QSOL, and QXRP collectively moved 131,000 contracts that day, which analysts believe paves the way for CME to introduce additional volatility indices and innovative offerings like TAS in 2026.
