Analysts: Bitcoin futures premium and open interest index both turned positive, indicating a recovery in leverage demand.
PANews reported on July 6th that CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. released a report indicating signs of improvement in the Bitcoin futures market: futures prices are higher than spot prices for the first time in a month, and the basis returned to positive territory in early July after hitting a low of -0.40% in the third week of June; the 30-day moving average of the open interest index has also turned positive, reflecting a surge in long positions over the past few days and a return of risk appetite. However, the analyst stated that the improvement in both indicators is still relatively shallow—the premium is only slightly above zero, and the open interest index has shown signs of cooling in the last two days. The current state is closer to normalization than a trend reversal, and a sustained positive basis and positive open interest are needed to confirm a shift in the market pattern. The main risk lies in the failure of the early return of leveraged demand to be sustained, which could instead trigger a new round of market consolidation.

Gate has been recognized as one of the best MiCA-licensed trading platforms in 2026, continuing to strengthen its European compliance advantages.
According to BeInCrypto's latest Odaily, Gate has been selected as one of the "Best MiCA-Licensed Crypto Platforms in 2026" and awarded "Best for Access to a Large Cryptocurrency Selection." The rankings indicate that Gate offers a diversified digital asset ecosystem encompassing spot trading, contracts, wealth management, and Web3 services, and provides European users with a more comprehensive digital asset trading experience thanks to its extensive asset coverage and product portfolio. With the official end of the transition period for the EU's Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCA), the European digital asset market has fully entered an era of unified regulation. Gate Europe had previously taken the lead in obtaining both an EU MiCA license and a Payment Institution (PI) license. These two important regulatory qualifications provide a solid foundation for Gate Europe to conduct business under the European regulatory framework and further strengthen the platform's capabilities in compliant operations, risk management, and long-term development. This recognition from a well-known industry media outlet further demonstrates Gate's positive progress in promoting compliance and continuously optimizing its products and services in Europe. Gate's founder and CEO, Dr. Han, stated that the formal implementation of MiCA signifies the end of the era of "regulatory arbitrage" in the European crypto industry, and market competition will increasingly focus on product, security, and user experience. His views were also reprinted by Cointelegraph, further reflecting the industry's widespread attention to the new era of European regulation. Currently, multiple entities under Gate have completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, or obtained authorizations and approvals in jurisdictions such as Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, the United States, Australia, and Dubai, solidifying their global business foundation through multi-regional regulatory licenses and registrations. The platform continues to advance its global compliance strategy and constantly improve its global compliance network to provide users with safer, more transparent, and more efficient digital asset services.
