CryptoSlate reports leveraged funds added roughly 1,669 BTC to net Bitcoin futures shorts

CryptoSlate says CME standard contracts drove most of the increase, but the data cannot distinguish bearish bets from hedges against spot holdings.

CryptoSlate reports that leveraged funds added roughly 1,669 BTC to their net short across four regulated Bitcoin futures markets in the week to September 8, 2026, taking net shorts to 39,877 BTC. CME standard contracts drove most of the increase, it says. The publisher cautions that the CFTC data cannot distinguish bearish bets from hedges against spot holdings.
