This came after the cryptocurrency surpassed the $1,600 level for the first time in its history amid a double-digit rally earlier today.

Binance is the number one destination for trading Ether futures with nearly $1.5 billion worth of open interest (OI).

Bybit and Huobi come in second and third places, respectively. They are followed by OKEx and FTX.

Notably, the BitMEX exchange, whose launch of the ETHUSD perpetual swap in August 2018 marked the start of a brutal bear market for the second-largest cryptocurrency, didn’t make it to the top 5.
