Bearish traders are signaling that crypto losses will continue into next year, as risk-averse firms scale back from a market roiled by the implosion of digital-assets exchange FTX. 

The Bitcoin futures curve is stuck in backwardation, meaning its spot price is higher than its futures price.

Active Bitcoin futures on the CME group platform are all trading at a discount.
