    Open interest and trading volume are two commonly used metrics in the cryptocurrency market. Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding contracts, which includes both long and short positions. It represents the total amount of money invested in those contracts. On the other hand, trading volume measures the total number of contracts traded within a specific time period. It indicates the level of market activity and liquidity. While open interest reflects the overall market sentiment, trading volume shows the actual trading activities. Traders often use both metrics to assess market trends and make trading decisions. It's important to note that open interest and trading volume can vary across different exchanges and trading pairs.
