Could you please clarify for me the current state of Bitcoin's open interest tally? I'm particularly interested in understanding how this metric is calculated and what it signifies in terms of 
market sentiment and potential future price movements. Is there a specific platform or resource you would recommend for tracking this data? And how does the current open interest tally compare to previous levels, both historically and in the recent past? Thank you for your insights.

    This trend brings the current open interest tally closer to the record high of $24 billion observed in mid-November 2021.
