Middle Eastern sovereign funds' BTC accumulation may shift derivatives OI toward institutional structures. Their long-term focus could boost demand for tailored products (long-dated futures, bespoke options), moving OI from retail-heavy expiries to institutional tenors. Regional exchanges like DIFC platforms may gain OI share as preferred venues. Hedging via inverse swaps might compress basis spreads, while collateralized options writing could rebalance put/call ratios. Compliance needs may drive OTC-cleared contract growth, diversifying counterparty exposure. Physical settlement preferences and calendar spread activity might rise, reflecting strategic accumulation timelines.
