Chart of the Week

This week’s Chart of the Week explores the top ten assets* ranked by their relative change in open interest since the confirmation of the US Presidential Election results, which saw Donald Trump elected.

Mantra (OM), a Layer 1 blockchain focused on real-world assets (RWA), has significantly outperformed the wider market, with its open interest increasing by approximately 516% since November 6th.Memecoins also continue to capture attention.

Despite their high volatility, traders have been actively speculating on them through futures instruments, with three of the top ten assets in our chart being memecoins.

XRP has also seen notable growth, with its total open interest reaching $1.7 billion, making it the third-largest asset by open interest.

XRP’s open interest has increased by roughly 157%, a trend mirrored by XLM, its most closely correlated asset, which has experienced a 309% increase over the same period.

This heightened speculation appears to be driven by expectations of a shift in the SEC’s regulatory approach following Trump’s inauguration.

*Note: Analysis includes the top ten assets with open interest exceeding $100 million.
