$2.9T May futures volume at a 12-month low plus rising block-size flow is the classic post-retail-cleanout setup: fewer tickets, heavier hands. Binance/Gate/Hyperliquid adding XAU, oil and equity-index perps means stablecoin margin is becoming 24/7 macro collateral, and Kalshi’s May 29 CFTC-approved BTCPERP gives that same structure an onshore wrapper. Watch funding and liquidation ladders more than headline volume; if desks can hedge BTC beta with gold/SPY/oil perps on the same rails, alt books get thinner fast.
