Polkadot futures open interest hits $1B as DOT price reaches a new ATH

On March 24, the price of Polkadot's DOT token corrected by 23% in a brief six-hour period, resulting in $174 million in liquidations across the futures market. This swift downside move also cut the aggregate open interest by 26%.

Now that DOT's open interest is climbing to a new record high at $1 billion, investors may be worried that another price crash is on the way.
