Bitcoin futures show steady growth with $95,670 contracts
Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO:BTC) futures market is signaling cautious optimism among investors, with December CME contracts trading at $91,355 and June 2025 contracts reaching $95,670, according to MarketWatch.
ARK Invest noted that while Bitcoin futures have historically shown speculative behavior when in contango, the current state appears more measured.
“Compared to earlier in 2024, the market appears less overbought now,” ARK said, emphasising a more stable pricing environment.
Earlier in 2024, when Bitcoin reached nearly $71,000, futures on offshore exchanges traded at a 30% premium over spot prices, which ARK described as “speculative.”
By October, this premium dropped to around 11%, indicating a reduction in speculative pressure despite a price rally.
The gradual price increase in futures contracts, with projections for December 2025 surpassing $100,000, suggests a cautiously bullish outlook for Bitcoin.
ARK highlighted that the narrower contango points to more balanced sentiment, which could help maintain current price levels if speculative excess remains limited.
Institutional interest has grown alongside the upward trend in Bitcoin futures, with increased participation in CME contracts noted by market analysts.
Rising futures prices align with this greater involvement from institutional investors, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
Trading volumes in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have also surged, with hedge funds and asset managers taking longer positions without direct ownership.
This trend is partly fueled by regulatory optimism after the Republican return to the White House and evolving economic conditions.
The anticipation of new U.S. ETFs launching in 2025 is expected to further expand access for institutional buyers, supporting continued interest in Bitcoin.
At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin price was $89,634.97.
