Positions are the contracts held on Nov 3, 2026, a Tuesday, published the following Friday and converted to coins. Each CME contract covers 5 BTC (Bitcoin), 0.1 BTC (Micro Bitcoin), 50 ETH (Ether) or 0.1 ETH (Micro Ether), and we add the standard and micro contracts together. Net is long minus short; positions that are long and short in different months cancel out. Leveraged funds are hedge funds and similar managers, asset managers are institutions such as pension and mutual funds, and dealers are banks and other intermediaries. A fund that is short the future is often long the coin or an ETF at the same time, known as the basis trade, so a net short position is not necessarily a bet on lower prices. Options and other exchanges' contracts are not included.
