BCH: CFTC Traders by Group
Shown as its 2–31 Oct 2026 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.
How many large traders hold long and short positions in Coinbase Derivatives' perpetual-style Bitcoin Cash futures (1 BCH a contract), by group.
Why use it. The number of holders shows whether a position is broad or held by a few: a long built by many asset managers is sturdier than the same size held by two, and a crowd of leveraged funds on one side can leave together. How to read it. Lines rising together mean participation is broadening; a falling count while the position holds steady means fewer, larger holders. All Reportable and Other Traders counts every trader the CFTC reports in the contract.
Calculation. Trader counts of Coinbase Derivatives' perpetual-style Bitcoin Cash futures (1 BCH a contract), the BCH contract with the most open interest in the latest report, from the CFTC's Traders in Financial Futures report (futures only). Counts of different contracts are not added up, as one trader can hold several. The CFTC counts a trader once per side within each group. One value per weekly report, dated the Tuesday whose positions it lists (positions at that day's close); the CFTC publishes each report the following Friday at 15:30 US Eastern time and CryptoKeyhole reads it within ten minutes. The CFTC revises a report now and then; the whole history is read again every day.
